Prevent duplicate listeners

[ibcs01]

Hi Karl,

Is it possible to prevent listeners to open multiple connections to the same mountpoint?

Broadcasters sometimes do this to increase the listener count on their own stream. Nice for them, but it costs us bandwidth. Is there an option in Icecast to prevent this?

not on the same mountpoint without you involving your own auth filter. To do this server-wide, define the tag banfile or deny-ip in paths to refer to a file (it can be an empty file) then in the mount block add a tag -1. That should add the IP into the internal banned list and that should prevent others until the current client disconnects.
