[SOLVED] Soundcard to Local Icecast to Master Source on Airtime

    Hello,
    I have been trying to figure this out for quite some time and can't figure it out.
    Basically I am looking to use BUTT (http://butt.sourceforge.net/) to take a live input from a line in, and stream it on the same machine to the Master Source on Airtime. This will then be sent to an external Icecast server for public listening.

    I would imagine that the setup for BUTT is the same as MIXXX but when I use port 8003 or 8004 it just doesn't connect.
    I am very new to Linux (installed it just so I can use Airtime) and would love any insight anyone can offer.

    The purpose is so that I can stream a Live input source (DJs playing in a studio) via BUTT/Airtime during the day and then run scheduled shows full of music at night via Airtime.

    Thanks!

    Hi Sam,
    watch out for the mount point!
    In BUTT you have to put a "Slash" in front of the mountpoint.
    f.e. "/mastersource" instead of just "mastersource" like in Mixxx.

    Thanks for your swift reply hoerich!
    Unfortunately after adding a slash I am still left with BUTT not connecting to anything.
    If possible can you screenshot your settings for Airtime and settings for BUTT so I can replicate?
    I have attached my settings for BUTT & Airtime - maybe that could shed some light on my issue.    image
    Thanks!

    Alright I sorted it out.
    It helped to add the .ogg extension to the mountpoint in Airtime too. 
    I think my main issue was that I hadn't restarted since installing BUTT - after restarting I was able to get it working! I do have a unrelated question that I may or may not need to open a new thread for - please advise:

    I am using the recording feature to record shows in Airtime, is there a way I can change the way Airtime names the files or how it stores them? Ideally I'd like to name the files in the format of "SHOW NAME - GENRE - DATE" and save them all into 1 folder, rather than the current "TIME - SHOW NAME - BITRATE" in date based folders. Even better if I can save to the metadata too...

    good to hear it works now!

    Since it doesnt't work as I expected, I don't know much about the Show-Record-Topic.
    So I would suggest to open a new discussion and mark this one in the title as (Solved).
