Hi forum, I’ve successfully set up my Icecast server to relay through Wowza and RTMP, which is fantastic. However, my mount points change dynamically, so a static list of Icecast URLs in the /content directory doesn’t work for me. How can I set some sort of wildcard so that Wowza will relay _all_ mountpoints from my Icecast server automatically? In other words, when I request rtmp://mydomain/anyWordHere, I want it to connect to and relay [http://myLocalIcecastServer:8000/anyWordHere](http://myLocalIcecastServer:8000/anyWordHere). Any help much appreciated ---

That isn’t a requirement. You can make .stream files with shoutcast urls in your content folder, but that’s optional. If you set up a Wowza application with a StreamType “shoutcast” you can play any shoutcast stream. Richard ---

Playback on IPhone of shoutcast streams requires that you start with StreamManager. In that case you do have to maintain .stream files, or use /conf/StartUpStream.xml, or you can use MediaCaster API in module. Richard ---

What kind of live applications? Richard ---

Yes, and there are several options: You could add it to an application module and call it from Flash app, or you could do it with a HTTProvider and call it through http from a server page in your application server or directly in a browser, or you can do with JMX/JConsole, OR, command line JMX interface: [http://community.wowza.com/t/-/59](http://community.wowza.com/t/-/59) Richard ---

ok, thanks. Does the same apply to “live” applications? I have followed the instructions for setting up Icecast -\> iPhone streaming, but I assume it would work here too? ---

I followed the “All player instructions” at [https://www.wowza.com/quickstart.html#live-shoutcast](https://www.wowza.com/quickstart.html#live-shoutcast), I think I meant StreamType though… is this still a shoutcast application? I’m having a look at IApplicationInstance.startMediaCasterStream now, I take it this is the way to stop and start streams programmatically? thanks ---

quick question: would the call to the mediacaster API have to be in a module? I was envisaging a small command-line utility which could be passed in the name and URL of a stream to start. However, if I have to build a module, what callbacks would I be best relying upon? thanks
