Hello, Could someone explain to me how limit-rate works? I did not find any documentation on this option.

karlheyes commented 5 years ago

limit-rate is a option to limit the bandwidth of an incoming stream. So you can say limit-rate 130k and anything upto that is ok. just edge a little over to allow for catchup if there is a stall somewhere. It's a bitrate figure which can take K and M suffices. The other place it is used for is for files, to prevent the file content saturating your bandwidth.

does this work to limit the maximum input of the source? As in shoutcast 'maxbitrate'?
