Setting up DNAS with multiple bitrates

[robertroos]

Hi,

Does anybody know how to setup Shoutcast DNAS to serve multiple streams at different bitrates. I'm struggling to set it up properly. I'm only able to setup 1 port with the portbase setting. But I think that I require an extra port for each bitrate stream? Am I right?

In summary my settings are:

portbase=2199
streamid_1=1
streampath_1=tunein128
streamauthhash_1=xxxx
maxuser_1=100000
streamid_2=2
streampath_2=tunein320
streamauthhash_2=xxxx
maxuser_2=100000

It runs on a Debian Linux system and the script executes well and DNAS shows two streams in the control panel. But I'm not able to mount two sources to DNAS. If I do that I get an error message:

2016-05-25 18:09:25 ERROR [SRC x.x.x.x:59343 sid=1] SHOUTcast 1 source rejected. A source is already connected.

check the admin page, source connection details /admin.cgi?mode=sources -- you're probably using a v1 source -- the password for the stream #2 should be in the info page as legacy password - usually password:#2

the host and port you give the source is the same, the password determines which streampath the source will be connected to.

I think that the problem has been solved .. I've used the secondary password with the #2 within my broadcasting application.. And now it seems to mount both streams.. thanks!

B.t.w. do you know which stream is primary for clients since I'm using just a single port and FQDN/IP address? Is the stream with the #2 password secondary? E.g. are all clients connecting by default to the stream without the #2 password? Or is there a way to manipulate the preferred default stream?

the default v1 style stream would use / as the streampath. and i think that will always be assigned to stream #1 -- you directly access any stream via its streampath url.

I've created two streampaths

streamid_1=1
streampath_1=tunein
streamauthhash_1=xxxx
maxuser_1=100000
streamid_2=2
streampath_2=tunein320
streamauthhash_2=xxxx
maxuser_2=100000

Do you suggest to use the following streampaths? In my case:
http://x.x.x.xort/tunein and http://x.x.x.xort/tunein320

The weird thing is that if I enter the URL http://x.x.x.xort/ I can add any streampath behind the URL it always shows a player? For instance if I use the URL http://x.x.x.xort/blablabla it also plays a stream. Is this by design the default stream then?
