Please add the Icecast 2 streaming server to the video streaming category as well,
as it is capable of video streaming, not only audio streaming.

@ePirat it is not advertised as such

http://www.icecast.org/:

Icecast is a streaming media server which currently supports Ogg (Vorbis and Theora), Opus, WebM and MP3 audio streams.
It can be used to create an Internet radio station or a privately running jukebox and many things in between. It is very versatile in that new formats can be added relatively easily and supports open standards for communication and interaction.

The “audio streams” refers to MP3, not the other formats, after all Theora is a video codec. But I agree, that is phrased in a very confusing manner and I will make sure to change it.
I can confirm that Icecast is definitely able to stream video.

Ok good to know. Can you change the description to streaming audio/video server and duplicate the entry into the Video Streaming section? Thanks
