Authenticated Listeners with Icecast (htpasswd)

204 votes

With Icecast servers I wan to set up authenticated listeners on my station. I may find this feature useful if I wanted to implement a listener subscription based model or perhaps just create a privately locked stream for a certain group of people only.

Listener authentication with the "htpasswd" method is a feature of Icecast that allows you to secure any particular stream mount point so that in order to listen the listener must first pass verification via the use of a username and password.

Icecast's configuration XML allows mount points to be protected by listener authentication through HTTP request - http://icecast.org/docs/icecast-2.4.1/auth.html (`listener_add` record).
Would it be possible to add a field for mount points/stations in Azuracast to cater for this option - essentially adding a text/url field when editing the profile?

you can set a password so that you can only listen to the music if you have the password
