    I've noticed that when i'm editing bitrate in liquidsoap.cfg, airtime-check-system wont pass (" WARNING! It looks like the Liquidsoap engine is continually restarting.")

    I'm outputing in MP3, here is my config file.

    I have no choice than uncommenting it out and leaving stream to 128kbps :/

    Any idea ?

    Thank you ! Smile

    Those variables have been pushed to early to the config file it seems, This new liquidsoap binary we are using this release will not start if it has unused variables within the script. There is an example commented out how to set the bitrate in the script itself if needed.

    %mp3(bitrate=192, samplerate=44100, stereo=false)

    ignore(output.icecast(%mp3,
    host = icecast_host,
    port = icecast_port,
    password = icecast_pass,
    mount = mount_point_mp3,
    fallible = true,
    restart = true,
    restart_delay = 5,
    url = icecast_url,
    description = icecast_description,
    genre = icecast_genre,
    s)
    )

    replace just %mp3 above with the line above to configure these settings (you'll have to do similar for each output stream this is an example only for the mp3 icecast stream)

    Sorry, I'm a beginner and the system is running on Debian Squeeze, could you tell me where I can find the file to edit ?

    Thanks a lot.
