Are we able to install Icecast KH rather than Icecast 2?

IceCast support in v3 is the same as in v2.  Our -kh build policy is still that the -kh branch is an unstable development branch so we don't officially support it.  You're welcome to install it and try, though.

O ok that's great, seems it will be important in the near future. I did find this info, would this be a safe way to upgrade, or would it work like SHOUTcast1 and SHOUTcast 2, with 2 different servers? Thanks for any advice and tips you can give, I try to stay ahead of other providers and I have a few that already offer it on their Centova installation, although not v3 yet!

That looks like just standard install instructions for IceCast for the most part.  Only difference is that I'd grab the tarball from Karl's Github repo (http://karlheyes.github.com/) to get the latest version.

how can i install the icecast kh ? i tried with this command
./install.sh --channel=unstable --shoutcast2 --sctrans2 --icecast --icescc --kh

and this
./install.sh --channel=unstable --shoutcast2 --sctrans2 --icecast-kh --icescc

installed but when i try to add new account i cant see icecast there, whats the correct command line to install the icecast KH in centoava 3 ?

thanks in advance!

Hello. Icecast KH is not oficially supported in Centovacast. If you want, you can install it own your risk:

For example, for v.KH31:

cd /usr/src && wget http://www.xiphicecast.webspace.virginmedia.com/icecast-2.3.2-kh31.tar.gz && tar -zxf icecast-2.3.2-kh31.tar.gz && cd icecast-2.3.2-kh31 && ./configure;make CFLAGS="-D_XOPEN_SOURCE=600" && make install && /usr/local/centovacast/sbin/enable_package ICECAST /usr/local/bin/icecast

I get LOTS of requests for Icecast KH, would be great if you all could include this as a Centova v3 option

I have it installed and I've been running it without issues.

Hey There,

Ok you have to install icecast-kh for there site, download the tar bar and upload it to /usr/local/ unpack and follow there instructions then refer to centovacast install for adding additional software and use this line to enable n link icecast-kh
/usr/local/centovacast/sbin/enable_package ICECAST /usr/local/icecast-2.3.3-kh6/src/icecast

the icecast-2.3.3-kh6 is what i renamed my install too......
