IceCast connection issue

[AvrumFeldman]

Hi,

I'm using your software and am loving it.

I set up a raspberry to stream to an icecast server I control and it's working fine.

I set up another computer but it's failing to connect to my icecast server. The syslog just displays basic connection success and failures. Any place where I can see more detailed logs?

If the raspberry and the new computer are both connecting to the same icecast server simultaneously, then you might have hit a limit on number of sources imposed by the Icecast server, which is set to 2 by default.

Inspect Icecast server logs (/var/log/icecast/error.log or similar). If the above is the case, increase <sources> parameter value in the <limits> section in the server config file and restart it.

Thanks. I ruled out right away icecast sources limit on the icecast server.

I did a packet capture on the offending computer and see it is sending right away a tcp RST packet instead of an ACT packet. I don't know for sure it's rtl_airband sending that, but would like to rule that out.

Is there detailed logging on the icecast connection setup? or is there anyway I can enable debug logging?

This is the steps I took to install rtl_airband

sudo apt-get install build-essential libmp3lame-dev libshout3-dev libconfig++-dev
sudo apt-get install libfftw3-dev
sudp apt-get install librtlsdr-dev
wget https://github.com/szpajder/RTLSDR-Airband/archive/v3.1.0.tar.gz
tar xvzf v3.1.0.tar.gz
cd RTLSDR-Airband-3.1.0/
make PLATFORM=x86 NFM=1
make install

What's the libshout library version on the client?

If it's 2.4.2 or later, then most probably you are hitting bug #143 . If this is the case, please downgrade to 2.4.1.

Bingo. That's it. Thanks for the project and help.
