Icecast2 Problems

[Taucher]

Hi,

I want to connect to my own Icecast2-server, but it didn't work. The server definitely works. With ices2 and darkice the connection works well, only mixxx fails.

A few outputs:

Code: Select all

$ mixxx
...
Debug: [EngineSideChain 1]: EngineShoutcast: updating from preferences
Debug: [EngineSideChain 1]: Loaded libmp3lame version  3.99.3
Debug: [EngineSideChain 1]: Shoutcast failed connect. Failures: 1
Debug: [EngineSideChain 1]: Shoutcast failed connect. Failures: 2
Debug: [EngineSideChain 1]: Shoutcast failed connect. Failures: 3
Warning: [EngineSideChain 1]: Shoutcast error:  "Bitte überprüfen Sie die Internetverbindung und vergewissern Sie sich, dass Ihr Benutzername und Kennwort richtig sind."


english translation (more less): Please check your Internet connection and verify your username and password.
My LAN works and the user and password are right, as you see below.
On server:

Code: Select all

# cat /var/log/icecast/access.log

Most of the configuration is default:

Code: Select all

# cat /etc/icecast2/icecast.xml
...
<authentication>
        <!-- Sources log in with username 'source' -->
        <source-password>sourcePW</source-password>
...
    <hostname>nas</hostname>

    <!-- You can use these two if you only want a single listener -->
    <!--<port>8000</port> -->
    <!--<bind-address>127.0.0.1</bind-address>-->

    <!-- You may have multiple <listener> elements -->
    <listen-socket>
        <port>8000</port>
        <!-- <bind-address>127.0.0.1</bind-address> -->
    </listen-socket>
...


Mixxx configuration:

Code: Select all

$ cat .mixxx/mixxx.cfg
...

I use mixxx from today trunk on 64-bit Linux. Do you have an advice?

Currently I use the workaround to connect Mixxx output over jack with darkice, but a direct streaming would be much better.

Hmm, usually this results from an incorrect username or password, but it looks like you have that correct. All I can do is refer you to our internet broadcasting wiki page. Double-check that the default username and password are correct for your server type.

I login with these data from two other programs without problems, but I will check it again. Is there a possibility to get more output from mixxx?

[Pegasus]

Oh, okay, if you've already confirmed that it works elsewhere, then that's fine.

Unfortunately there isn't any more output available other than what you pasted above from the console/mixxx.log file. Hopefully one of the guys that worked on the broadcasting code can comment here because I don't know much about it.
