examples/ezstream-video.xml doesn't work with icecast

[mozai]

What I tried:

• icecast 2.4.4
• libshout 2.4.6
• ezstream 1.0.1
• ffmpeg2theora 0.30 (and later ffmpeg 6.1.1)
• pwd is a folder of video files with a "playlist.m3u" listing them
• modify ezstream-video.xml to have the correct source password for icecast instead of "hackme"
• ezstream -r -v -c ./ezstream-video.xml

What I expected:

• ezstream reports connecting to http://127.0.0.1:8000/video.ogg
• icecast reports a new source at mountpoint "/video.ogg"
• something that can digest a video stream (like firefox/chrome, mpv or vlc) can attach to icecast and display the stream for humans

What I saw instead:

• ezstream does report connected: http://127.0.0.1:8000/video.ogg
• ezstream skips to each next file in the playlist instantly, exhausting the playlist in an eyeblink
• icecast does not report a new source/mountpoint
• icecast error.log shows two errors

  EROR connection/_handle_connection HTTP request parsing failed
  EROR admin/admin_handle_request Error parsing command string or unrecognised command: !POKE
  

What I tried:

• added <stream_once>Yes</stream_once> to so I don't fill my terminal in infinite loops
• launched ffmpeg2theora -x 192 -y 128 -a 0 -v 4 --title K-Tel_Lets_Disco.mp4 -o - K-Tel_Lets_Disco.mp4 >blah. Finishes without error, though the output is unparsable by ffprobe, mpv or even file
• replaced the with ffmpeg -i "@T@" -c:v libvpx -c:a libvorbis -f ogv - . Output of this Is parsable by ffprobe, mpv et al. But when used in ezstream I still get the instant skip to the next file and the EROR messages described above.
