Connection to Streaming Server Broken

    First of all many thanks to the developers of Airtime for your fabulous software.

    After the update to 2.0.1 and messing around with my network settings i get the following error message:
    /usr/lib/airtime/pypo/bin/liquidsoap_scripts/notify.sh --error='could not write data to host: Connection refused in write()' --stream-id=1

    Here my system-check:
    AIRTIME_SERVER_RESPONDING      = OK
    KERNEL_VERSION                 = 2.6.35-32-generic
    MACHINE_ARCHITECTURE           = i686

    RABBITMQ_MEM_PERC              = 0.7%
    RABBITMQ_CPU_PERC              = 0.0%


    I think the problem is the connection to apache2. 

    Here some more log stuff:

    DEBUG - [pypo-notify.py : notify_liquidsoap_status() : line 89] - # Calling server to update liquidsoap status    #
    2012-02-17 17:40:46,274 DEBUG - [pypo-notify.py : notify_liquidsoap_status() : line 90] - #################################################

    2012-02-17 17:40:46,460 DEBUG - [pypo-notify.py : notify_liquidsoap_status() : line 93] - Response: null

    Here my airtime.conf:

    [database]
    host = 127.0.0.1
    dbname = airtime
    dbuser = airtime
    dbpass = airtime

    [rabbitmq]
    host = 127.0.0.1
    port = 5672
    user = guest
    password = guest
    vhost = /

    [general]
    api_key = XFGJQJDA7OVTZYMEW4LG
    web_server_user = www-data
    airtime_dir = /usr/share/airtime/
    base_url = localhost
    base_port = 80

    [soundcloud]
    connection_retries = 3
    time_between_retries = 60



    Everything else seems to work normal. Thanks a lot for your help!

    Hi Rick,

    Sorry about that, I had assumed you installed the tarball instead of the debian package.

    Since you have the Debian package, you should be able to just type

    liquidsoap 'output.icecast(%vorbis, host = "localhost", port = 8000, user = "hackme" password = "hackme", mount = "liq.ogg", sine())'

    There is a missing comma after the user.

    liquidsoap 'output.icecast(%vorbis, host = "localhost", port = 8000, user = "hackme", password = "hackme", mount = "liq.ogg", sine())'

    Hi,

    We faced the same problem today just after upgrading from 2.0.0 to 2.0.1.

    We fixed it disabling the stream, saving, re-enabling and re-saving in the stream settings tab after rebooted the server.

    Hope this helpful for you too

    Anyone else with this issue? It seems the problem is related to icecast server. Perhaps a quick restart of this service (sudo service icecast2 restart), will fix it.

    Is this for the debian package version of Airtime, or the tarball?

    The connection problem was not a failure of airtime, but someone did not pay the streaming server service in time  so that is why we got a connection refused error. Sorry, for the false alarm Martin. 


    @Radio-Libriamoci Web 
    Thanks for the hint anyway

    I can't verify this exactly, however when I added our licensed stream to the config today it's not working at all. i.e. I can tune-in directly using the local icecast (internally and externally) but out second stream is not sending anything.

    So first stream is connected to your local icecast, and the second one is connected to a licensed icecast server?

    Stream 1 : Local (out of the box config) 
    Stream 2 : Needs to connect to loudcaster.com

    The basic config is icecast connects to them on port 3044 to one of their icecast servers. When we tried to connect yesterday nothing happened. I asked them to verify and after looking in their logs they found no connection from our source IP at all.

    LC has made a change for us and we're getting reading to send a test stream now. Which as I'm typing this scheduled event just kicked in and doesn't appear to be working.

    Is there an encoder log for the Stream # entries? Trying to hunt this down as it's the last major issue we have (for now :)) before going live with Airtime.

    I suspect there is something wrong with your configuration. Try the following:

    /usr/lib/airtime/pypo/bin/liquidsoap_bin/liquidsoap 'output.icecast(%vorbis, host = "localhost", port = 8000, user = "hackme" password = "hackme", mount = "liq.ogg", sine())'

    Using the parameters that your icecast host provided you of course.

    And where does this go?

    Is this supposed to be a directory? /usr/lib/airtime/pypo/bin/liquidsoap_bin 

    If so, maybe that's the issue. There is no liquidsoap_bin

    Run that from the terminal. It should create a mount on the icecast server and then you can hear a sine wave (it's a monotonous hum)

    Here everything works fine again. The error message I got was related to no access to a paid streaming relay server.

    And - here is the result of your command:

    -bash: /usr/lib/airtime/pypo/bin/liquidsoap_bin/liquidsoap: No such file or directory

    This is why I asked if that was a directory or filename, because it's not there on either of our test systems.  /usr/lib/airtime/pypo/bin/liquidsoap_bin/liquidsoap is non-existent.

    LOL! Derp... My fault completely.

    OK - so now we're on track and that worked. I got the sine wave on the stream.

    So now where do we go? I took all of the information for the CLI command you gave me from the Stream 2 settings in Airtime's configuration window.

    Strange. 

    The configuration that you put into the web UI is then saved into /etc/airtime/liquidsoap.cfg. Liquidsoap then reads this file when it starts.

    Can you look into there to see if it is correct. In your case look at the S2 (stream #2) variables.

    HAH! OK - here're the issue:

    s2_enable = false
    s2_type = "ogg"
    s2_bitrate = 48
    s2_output = "icecast"
    s2_host = ""
    s2_port = 0
    s2_pass = ""
    s2_genre = ""
    s2_url = ""
    s2_description = ""
    s2_mount = ""
    s2_user = ""

    All the fields are filled in (and displayed) in the Airtime web interface!

    So it's not been written to since the reload! Even though I've re-entered those field 5 or 6 times.

    Can you try slightly modifying the Name/Description field, save the changes, and look at the liquidsoap.cfg file again.

    If the file is still not updated, then please post the last minute of /var/log/airtime/pypo/pypo.log

    And we're working! Thanks Martin!



    FYI for future searchers - if you have a non-standard character (an "=" in our case) in the encoder (stream) password, it doesn't parse the file correctly.
