IceCast streaming via ReaCast plugin
The ReaCast plugin has been a hugely useful tool for us with our broadcast platform, as it's enabled shows around the world to be able to easily broadcast mixes, with VST processing, by just using one programme - Reaper!
We've just moved radio service provider, and their associated streaming server is IceCast rather than SHOUTCast. The ReaCast plugin explicitly states that it serves to SHOUTCast, and despite searching for solutions on this forum and elsewhere I can find no way to add the additional information needed for IceCast streams (e.g. username, mountpoint etc).
Seeing as IceCast is open source (as opposed to ShoutCAST), do you think there's any way that IceCast could be added to the ReaCast plugin?
Current streaming apps are nowhere near as stable and adaptable as using Reaper, so it would be a fantastic addition, particularly during these streaming-focussed covid19 times!

Thanks for posting, I had watched these links before but I'm not sure they're the same as our use case.
We're using Airtime Pro's service as our radio host, which streams via IceCast. From the details we have they don't seem to match with what the person in the videos is describing.
The details we have to connect look something like:
Username: MyUsername
Password: *****
Host: radioexample.in.airtime.pro
Port: 8001
Mountpoint: /radioexample_show
I haven't been able to find a configuration of those details that would allow broadcasting via ReaCast, but I'd love to be proved wrong!

I'll take a look and see what's required for ReaCast to work with icecast (I don't think it was ever specifically targeted previously)

Thanks! The problem with icecast ist latency. Would be so cool to have some kind of webRTC plugin so we can deliver our mixing sessions to the client in "realtime" to work on it together. Ideally with mp3 to wav quality depending on on the available bandwidth.

How did you get on, does it seem that it might be possible?

Hey, I'd just like to add my voice to this and say it'd be excellent to have ReaCast with the option for IceCast. I think a lot of broadcasters using IceCast would enjoy having the flexibility of Reaper involved in their encoder.

Just checking in as to the possible inclusion of IceCast support with the incredible ReaCast plugin! Do let us know if this can be a feature in future updates; love all your work!

+1 would be helpful for my radioshow, especially during pandemic, where broadcasting directly in their studios is impossible due restrictions, only via remote.

I registered just for this. An Icecast plugin would be great. Any updates on this?

bump
I'd also appreciate if ReaCast could work with IceCast.
But in the meantime I've succesfully gotten this plugin to connect to a IceCast server and stream from within Reaper:

Just be careful with this one... I've used it a few times, but it doesn't have a reconnection protocol. If you're bumped off the server for whatever reason (say dodgy internet connection etc) then it won't reconnect you automatically.
Bumps for ReaCast Icecast integration
Thanks!

Hi Justin, do you think there might be any movement with IceCast integration into ReaCast. It's such an elegant streaming solution for audio broadcast, would be a huge help, alongside everything else great with Reaper!

Icecast works with azuracast
I've been able to stream to an icecast server for awhile now.
I used to add a section to the icecast file on the server to allow shoutcast client on a the server but can't find it now.
But,,,for the past year of so I've used reacast to azuracast with great success as you don't need to provide a mount point to broadcast allowing reacast to work. Check the images attached.

Hello there! I think I started this thread in 2020 during the peak covid era, when streaming was at a real high. Even though this seems to have waned a little, the request for IceCast integration into the ReaCast plugin would be a massive help.
The ReaCast plugin has been a hugely useful tool for us with our broadcast platform, particularly in enabling audio streaming with VST processing, through Reaper. This is possible via SHOUTCast but the relevant fields for IceCast are not available, as for IceCast the following details needs to be filled:
Username: MyUsername
Password: *****
Host: radioexample.in.airtime.pro
Port: 8001
Mountpoint: /radioexample_show
The current iteration of the ReaCast plugin explicitly states that it serves to SHOUTCast, and none of the proposed solutions I've found on this forum and elsewhere allow direct connection to IceCast streams.
IceCast is open source (as opposed to ShoutCAST), so it would be an absolutely incredible addition from you guys if IceCast could be added to the ReaCast plugin.
I hope you're able to consider it, and know we hugely appreciate all the work you've done with Reaper over the years!

Thanks for bumping this one. I'm still hoping for Icecast support, for the reasons above.

Just doing an additional bump, in case IceCast can be included as an option in the ReaCast plugin in upcoming Reaper 7 builds.
