    Hello, i have airtime up and running and i have contract an audio streaming server wich gives me this details to conect to theirs server:


    ServerType=Icecast2
    Server=91.121.***.**
    Port=8000
    ServerPassword=****
    ServerMountpoint=/marbellaon
    Encode=AAC PlusBitrateNominal=32

    *: hidden numbers


    i was suggested of using for linux solution one of this encoders.
    http://www.icecast.org/3rdparty.php

    i decided to use darkice because support ACC format, i am trying to configure the darkice to conect with the streaming server without succes.

    i hace two questions:

    what it menans the localdumbfile in the darkice configuration file?

    do i really need darkice to conect to the streaming server as i was suggested?. Because the company doesnt know airtime and dont know how it works and the only allow format is AAC.

    Thanks a lot for the help.

    I dont understand why you would be using DarkIce. Normally in this
    situation you would connect Airtime (specifically the liquidsoap component)
    to Icecast2. To do that, you adjust the config file
    /etc/airtime/liquidsoap.cfg, and change the settings such as icecast_host &
    etc to the values you've listed below.
