1.8.2 not streaming to Icecast - Airtime Support Discussions on Sourcefabric Forum

James Dunn

I just upgraded Airtime to the latest 1.8.2 release and I still can't stream to Icecast (I had this problem in 1.8.2-RC5). I've checked the source password and restarted Icecast and Liquidsoap but I still don't see any mount points on the Icecast server.

Any ideas?

thanks

James

Hi James,

Lets first verify Icecast works for you:

cd /usr/lib/airtime/pypo/bin/liquidsoap/
./liquidsoap 'output.icecast(%vorbis, mount="test.ogg", sine())'

You should see Liquidsoap start. Now go to http://localhost:8000 and verify you have a mountpoint named "test.ogg" there.

James Dunn

Ok thanks I tried that command and this is what I got:

This line

2011/06/15 16:28:29 [test(dot)ogg:2] Connection failed: 401, Authentication Required (HTTP/1.0)!

indicates that icecast passwords are not the default ones. Did you change these by any chance?

James Dunn

When I first installed airtime and icecast I changed the default passwords to my own and things worked fine. Since upgrading to 1.8.2-RC5 and later I haven't been able to connect to Icecast. I have also imported a database backup from the production server, would this affect anything? I tried changing passwords to the production server password and I get the same error.

Do I need to do a complete reinstall of airtime/icecast or is there something else I can try?

thanks

James

Martin Konecny

Make sure that the passwords in

/etc/icecast2/icecast.xml

and

/etc/airtime/liquidsoap.cfg match up.

As for the test I gave you before try modifying it like so:

./liquidsoap 'output.icecast(%vorbis, mount="test.ogg", password = YOUR_PASS_HERE, sine())'

until it works.

James Dunn

Ok I ran the test but got this error:

At line 1, char 60: the variable hackme is used
but was not previously defined.

EDIT: password needs to be in "quotations"

I'll check this fully when I get home

James

Martin Konecny

Try putting enclosing the password in double-quotes

./liquidsoap 'output.icecast(%vorbis, mount="test.ogg", password = "hackme", sine())'

Grant Potter

I'm having a mountpoint issue as well. Airtime shows running content, but not seeing a mountpoint or the [On Air] indicator in Airtime.

Ok, so the test command works. I can see the mount point at the Icecast server and get the following output from the command:

I just scheduled a new show which plays back ok through the soundcard, but still doesn't show up in Icecast.

I also found another liquidsoap.cfg file in /usr/bin/airtime/pypo/bin/scripts so I edited that to have the same password too, but nothing's happening...

James Dunn

Ok it seems my issue was just a space in the mount point name. Changing that to an underscore means I get a stream in Icecast!

Howdy, Stranger!
