    I have just installed airtime 2.0 and installed it on a Debian 6.0 distro. I have a ALSA card inside and I get everything seemingly working and using the ALSA card as a output device to listen to the on air feed. However I cannot get the icecast feed to give anything. It dosen't show any errors in the logs and if I use gstreamer to listen to it it shows up as paused. The airtime system preferences for the streams says that the feed is working ok, whether it is mp3 or ogg. I'm using the stock system preferences here.

    I saw in the icecast FAQ that to check the icecast feed I could put in http://server.name:8000 and I should see status info on the feed but this address just times out when I try it when the feed is live (AIR TIME active).

    Can anyone suggest what I'm doing wrong.

    P.S. Awesome stuff. One thing though I tried to use the admin interface via an IPAD and the drag n drop functions didn't work. Any thoughts on how I can get that functionality working.

    Ok I can get it working, that is I can get sound from the icecast feed if I'm on the airtime / icecast server. I get sound from the feed ok. However if I'm on any other machine on my network I can't get any sound and the icecast feed send no data. When I access the icecast server status page I get the following status.

    What do you get when you enter

    sudo netstat -tlnp | grep icecast

    ?

    The output of 'sudo netstat -tlnp | grep icecast' is:

    tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:8000            0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      2221/icecast2

    In checking around I see lots of the following messages in the syslog:

    I think they are telling me something about the port. I tried changing the port to 8888 but there was no difference in the behavior. Would there be any difference if I was using a wireless card as my main communicating device. I have a built-in Ethernet card but I'm using a wireless card as the active link. It comes up ok, and everything seems to work ok with it, for example apache. Can someone say what these messages are trying to tell me.

    Ok, Solved. It seems that I had not disabled the firewall. Adding a rule to allow connections with port 8000 fixed the problem. Thanks for your effort.
