  • Try removing the source username?
    You don't have a user called source.

  • Nothing wrong with your Icecast configuration.
    Just

    1. Change the stream type in the Airtime settings to mp3 and save or
    2.  if you want to use Ogg then you need to create a separate ogg mount in Icecast that looks like this (/example.ogg) in your case the mount point would be /stream.ogg
    • make sure you save your settings
    • if you did any edit to Icecast xml ,you also need to restart the Icecast
    • There is an example of the configuration in the icecast xml for ogg
    • When you install Airtime it defaults to ogg because of the fact that ogg is open source but the corresponding change is not in the icecast xml

    Good luck

  • so lets troubleshoot

    PLEASE NOTE THESE STEPS ARE FOR VERSIONS >2.3 AND < 2.5.1.6 .I CANNOT say if it will work for 2.5.2 and beyond

    Lets start with a fresh icecast install ( cannot bother to look for errors)

    at the command line uninstall icecast with this command

    sudo apt-get remove icecast2 && sudo apt-get purge icecast2 && sudo apt-get autoremove

    • remove will uninstall icecast
    • purge will remove the configuration.note that in some versions of ubuntu you can use  purge alone
    • autoremove will clean up waste files
    now install icecast  back

    sudo apt-get install icecast2

    answer yes or use the default if it asks any question

    after you install test if Icecast server is running by going to

    http://localhost:8000
    you should see a page of the icecast status (if not Icecast may needs to enable)

    If the icecast server is on another machine
    then you might need to change the

    Server field
    to and IP  like yours but if not localhost  will be sufficient


    Now go to Airtime stream page and type in

    the password field    hackme
    the admin field         admin
    the admin password hackme




    Make sure the stream type says mp3

    fill in some details of the other fields

     then save

    if you are still not connected post some information from

    Icecast

    sudo /var/log/icecast2/error.log

    sudo /var/log/icecast2/access.log


    and from Airtime

    you can use the real-time log to see what is happening

    sudo airtime-log -t liquidsoap

    or the general log

    sudo pico /var/log/airtime/pypo-liquidsoap/ls_script.log


    You may want to look at my submission here

    https://forum.sourcefabric.org/discussion/15654/airtime-troubleshoot-for-dummies-like-me-basic-things-you-can-do-to-see-under-the-hood

    or check the manual for a guide

    If then everything works then you can customise icecast 2 as per below

  • You should configure your icecast server xml before you open it to the public after everything is working and so make the changes as per below

    you must change these

    <authentication>
            <!-- Sources log in with username 'source' -->
            <source-password>hackme</source-password>
            <!-- do not put source as your password -->

            <!-- Relays log in username 'relay' -->
            <relay-password>hackme</relay-password>
             <!-- do not put relay as your password -->
     
            <!-- Admin logs in with the username given below -->
            <admin-user>admin</admin-user>
            <admin-password>hackme</admin-password>
             <!-- do not put admin as your password -->
        </authentication>

    Use something different and make sure

    • You save and restart the icecast
    • You change the settings in your Airtime and save it,If you do any change in Icecast xml

  • AIRTIME_SERVER_RESPONDING      = FAILED

    It still doesnt work
    Post edited by jonathan148 at 2015-04-21 10:52:50
  • Picture me where I am and you send that message to me ! Its so vague.

    So lets start again

    • 1. I need to know the operating system you are on so   go to a  terminal (Ctrl+Alt+T)
    in you are on
    if  you uses Airtime <2.5.1.6  type this

     airtime-check-system

    I can hardly help you if you are on 2.5.2

    • If you have the Airtime GUI up  then change something in the stream setting (like just add an 's' to the description) then click on save and   

    • then go back to the  terminal and type 

    sudo pico /var/log/airtime/pypo-liquidsoap/ls_script.log

    •  Give me the log information from the end.Starting from the notification  box which is a set ********

    Now go to the  Ice cast logs and give me 

    sudo /var/log/icecast2/error.log

    sudo /var/log/icecast2/access.log

    Now what you provide me with

    AIRTIME_SERVER_RESPONDING      = FAILED

    points to a configuration failure with Airtime and not a connection error

    What I gave you was the fixed for connection problem which everyone experience when you install 14.04

    Now Lets be clear

    If you call your phone customer services 

    the main question they ask what type of phone you are using (regardless if they supply it) so I need to know what version of Airtime you have and what operating system you are on

    Here are question unresolved from above

    1.  Is your Icecast Server up and running
    2. Are you using the default configurations I gave above
    3. Is your Icecast server on the same machine or remote hosts

    Pleas provide the forum with better information for help.

    in number 3 suggest to send your logs so others can help you.

    You do not need to dump the whole logs just provide the information I asked

  • Just because you were not able to do something yourself you label the effort of many people "shit".
