airtime 1.9.3 and external icecast server - Airtime Support Discussions on Sourcefabric Forum

unghio

hi, I've installed airtime 1.9.3 on a debian 6, and I want to stream to an external server. AFAIK i should change the settings in /etc/airtime/liquidsoap.cfg, and is what I did... this is what it looks like now:

root@airtime:~#

showing that liquidsoap tries to connect to localhost... what can I do? I tried this command:

./liquidsoap 'output.icecast(%mp3, mount="test.ogg", host="stream.yamsproject.org", password="password", sine())'

from /usr/lib/airtime/pypo/bin/liquidsoap_bin/ folder, and it works, I simply can't change default settings I think... any suggestion?

James Moon

Did you restart liquidsoap after changing config file?

unghio

I rebooted the machine. many times Smile

James Moon

Can you please email me following files:
1. /var/log/airtime/pypo-liquidsoap/ls_script.log
2. /etc/airtime/liquidsoap.cfg

to james.moon@sourcefabric.org?

Thanks.

Andrey Podshivalov

my be some problem with name resolving. Try to change icecast_host = "stream.yamsproject.org" to icecast_host = "ip_address"

Are you sure you're editing the correct file?

This should be

instead.

yes, I know. this is why I'm writing here, I suppose...

Martin Konecny

Ok please tell me step-by-step what you are doing. There must be something obvious that is missing.

hey I noticed this in the config file that was posted

shoutcast_host = "127.0.0.1"

if you say connecting to icecast works manually as you tried in that instruction could it be that airtime is looking at incorrect config data somehow? Maybe it's using this shoutcast data?

I followed the instructions in the "manual install" page for 1.9.x [1] except for the apache vhost (I set a vhost for both localhost and a domain pointing to airtime www folder), sorry but i had no time in these days, I only tried updating to the version in github (thinking it was 2.0dev, but once installed it says it's 1.9.3) and then updating to 1.9.4 but I got the same issue. It is a test server, so I'll try with a fresh install, I can't see where I'm wrong...

I realize that you have probably moved on and fixed this problem, but i think i have found a the source of my problem.

When i had this problem i had installed icecast after, my installation of airtime. I think that the airtime installation must change the icecast2 file here

sudo nano /etc/default/icecast2

To look like this.

# Defaults for icecast2 initscript
# sourced by /etc/init.d/icecast2
# installed at /etc/default/icecast2 by the maintainer scripts

#
# This is a POSIX shell fragment
#

# Full path to the server configuration file
CONFIGFILE="/etc/icecast2/icecast.xml"

# Name or ID of the user and group the daemon should run under
USERID=icecast2
GROUPID=icecast

# Edit /etc/icecast2/icecast.xml and change at least the passwords.
# Change this to true when done to enable the init.d script
ENABLE=true

I got my server back up and that file is the only one that i know of that changed.

hi, two days ago i moved to ubuntu server 11.04 and tried to use the "expert install" (i.e. install from apt, what do you mean with expert? Smile

), set up the external icecast server and it worked (i had no way to mess up anything... Smile

). now i have some other issues but these go into other topics Smile

p.s. no, the problem was not to start the local icecast server, i intetionally disabled it, cause we use a vps for streaming_to_the_masses.

Howdy, Stranger!
