In my admin settings, city is "chicago", location name is "westside" (it was was "421ndrake"), and your name is "ericl". You can see it on the map if you zoom in to Chicago, north of Garfield Park.

Now, how do we get the Icecast server to recognize "chicago_westside.ogg" instead of "421ndrake.ogg"?

you must type on the PD patch the exact streamname done by your admin account (you can read it on the top of your admin page). In your case, it's : chicago_westside.ogg

The streamname is generated automatically by our system, it's consisted of : city_locationname.ogg, according to the informations you type in the online registration. 

All our other systems (SoundMap, Tardis, Promenade, etc.) are based on this process.

So if you want to change the name of your stream and continue to be automatically recognized by the SoundMap, etc., you must modify the city and location-name fields on your account, and all will work.

Secondly, if you want to move your stream to another location, you can do it easily also.

The infos and the guidelines on the account page are not corrected, I'll do the corrections today, and put clearer explanations. Sorry ..

BTW, in the admin page the "Pd patch" link was 404: "The requested URL /soundmap/lhoosl.html was not found on this server." 

oups, you're right, it is an old thing. I'll correct the link.

The question, is "stream name" in the streambox Pd patch the same as "location name" in the soundmap admin page?

jerome could tell us, but i dont think that will be the case.

no, 

As I mentioned above, the streamname in your patch is the combination of these variables : city_locationname followed by .ogg

I know it's a little bit tricky, I will have to clear the presentation of this stuff on the admin page.

best
