Because I don't see Discution panel, I want ask question here with my problem.

I have server with option SSH to run own proces. On this server I have preinstaled command icecast and ices.

I want to create in IceCast mount point to connect to them by Rivendell. But after read many pages w examples I haven't idea why Icecast can't make mounting point. After run ices, I have log No playlist type given - but I want only mounting point, not playlist player.

$ icecast
Icecast 2.4.4

usage: icecast [-b] -c <file>
or   : icecast {-v|--version}
options:
        -c <file>       Specify configuration file
        -v or --version Display version info
        -b              Run icecast in the background

$ ices
IceS 2.0.3

        Karl Heyes      <[email protected]>
        Philipp Schafft <[email protected]>
        and others

Usage: "ices config.xml"

Using libshout 2.4.5

I run both command i separate process:

$ icecast -c /icecast/icecast.xml
[2023-03-05  10:00:20] WARN fserve/fserve_recheck_mime_types Cannot open mime types file /etc/mime.types

$ ices /icecast/icecast-playlist.xml

[2023-03-05  10:02:01] INFO ices-core/main Shutdown complete

But I don't see mounting point.

Where I make mistake?

First of all, it's Icecast, not IceCast ;)

Also this is not the official ticket system. Keep that in mind. You can find the official system here: https://gitlab.xiph.org/xiph/icecast-server/-/issues

I want to create in IceCast mount point to connect to them by Rivendell. But after read many pages w examples I haven't idea why Icecast can't make mounting point.

Mount points are there to begin with. The become active when a source is mounted on them. There is no configuration or anything else needed for that on Icecast's side. All that is required is that the source successfully logs in and mounts it. Normally that is done by configuring the source with the mount point in question and the login credentials.

After run ices, I have log No playlist type given - but I want only mounting point, not playlist player.
If you don't want it to send any playlist data or any other data, why do you try to run it in the first place?

OK thank you for your answer. Now at least I know that the source shows up after logging in and broadcasting to a specific "channel".

Now I know where to look for the problem.
