To help clarify my initial question about swapping out the binary, I actually took the advice from an earlier thread here. https://lists.xiph.org/pipermail/icecast/2019-February/014507.html <https://lists.xiph.org/pipermail/icecast/2019-February/014507.html> And here … https://lists.xiph.org/pipermail/icecast/2019-February/014506.html <https://lists.xiph.org/pipermail/icecast/2019-February/014506.html> I had hoped that I would not need to do this which is why I asked again in this thread. If I need to install the daemon to run 2.5, I’d like to know where to I get this from. I am having a hard time finding information for this. > On 12 Aug 2022, at 22:58AEST, Damian <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hi Philipp, > > Thanks of the reply. Apologies for the naive question.
