IceCast error
  • When I use rebroadcasting from URL I see that Icecast received an error:

    [2014-06-27  13:03:57] INFO admin/admin_handle_request Received admin command metadata on mount "/airtime_128"

    What access is trying to get? what password missing? Please help who knows this, thank you.

  • It looks like an access of Icecast's web admin interface, possibly to get the currently playing song's statistics (stats.xml). The default login is username: admin, password: admin.


  • Thank you. I have different admin password.
    So what I can check? where to check? 
    BTW this happened only when I use rebroadcasting from just one URL and nothing when I do the same from other URL.
    In log I see: util/util_conv_string converting metadata from UTF-8 to ISO8859-1

    I suspect this causes problem. ?
    Any idea?

  • If you are hosting Icecast on the same server as Airtime (this is the default), you can get to the Icecast admin interface at localhost:8000 on the Airtime server. If your Icecast server has a public IP, you can use that too (e.g. example.com:8000).
  • I am able to log on icecast as admin without any issue, but again this error happened ONLY when I rebroadcast via Airtime from one particular URL, any other URLs Airtime is getting without any issues. So I am wondering what it might be? Only when metadata needs to be changed?

  • I think this (below) is really interesting:

    Maybe this can help you to figure out what I am facing?
