Foreign Station in our tunein-station.pls !!!

[LoB]

Hi out there..

When I try to find our Station at shoutcast.com, I can start the radio through clicking on "Tune In". After that I get the File "tunein-station.pls". All Servers are in there, but the first entry is a different server what is not our station. How can that be???

I tried another Radiostation which not belongs to us and that station has the same problem. But the the first entry is again the same server as in our tunein-station.pls!!

Seems to be a big security-whole.. But how can I/we fix it?

Befor I forget, the Station-Description (TitleX) is the same as ours.

please provide your station name and ip:port for me to check.

Does one of your public servers have that option in the config?

AllowPublicRelay=Yes

We have enabled that option. For some reasons we need that option.
We figured out, that the station who "hacked" us, wanted to relay us, but does not really. Currently we banned now the IP and that problem is gone for now. But when the other station is changing the server and/or IP, the same procedure will happen again

pm me the station name/ip that hijacked your stream.

I would create a non-public relay stream where all your servers get the signal from. Example:

relay.lob.com:8050 (private, allowpublicrelay=yes)

publicstream1.lob.com:8000 (public, allowpublicrelay=no)
publicstream2.lob.com:8000 (public, allowpublicrelay=no)

In most cases the guy does not know the private server, so there is no way to get into the cluster.

Edit: Ach, da fällt mir auf du sprichst auch deutsch. Naja, zu spät für die Antwort ;>
