About

This helps you to secure and lock down your icecast streams and stats. You can configure the proxy to support only access from your radio station frontend website.

Abilities

• relay a icecast stream and its stats meta data
• supports http basic auth, if your icecast server is configured for it
• can stream ogg and falls back to mp3 for microsoft browsers
• restrict stream and stats access for your radio station frontend website only

Limitations

• ogg and mp3 icecast mount should serve the same content
• if http basic auth is used, same credentials must be used for all icecast streams

Setup & Configuration

Server

• composer require dduers/icecast-stream-proxy
• configuration is documented in examples/example.php

Client

• you can embed the proxied stream to your website with this html5 code snipped

<audio preload="none">
    <source src="https://www.example.org/streamproxy">
</audio>

Recommendations

• serve the icecast server, the icecast proxy and your radio station's website over https://
• (!) the http basic auth credentials are at risk when no secure https connection is uses
