[2006-11-07 12:42:11] EROR yp/yp.c connection to http://http://dir.xiph.org/cgi-bin/yp-cgi/cgi-bin/yp-cgi failed with "Couldn't resolve host 'http:'"

can anyone help?

It looks like the YP server address in your icecast.xml has been screwed up, like someone copy-and-pasted the full correct URL - inside the URL.

The entry in your icecast.xml should just look like this

<directory>
<yp-url-timeout>15</yp-url-timeout>
<yp-url>http://dir.xiph.org/cgi-bin/yp-cgi</yp-url>
</directory>

i still get this:

Yea, the oddsock YP isn't around anymore from what I can tell.

Also, from personal experience, it'll take a while for your station to show up in the dir.xiph.org - it isn't instant. Give it 10 or 15 minutes or so.

[Anonymous]

nope.... still isnt working for some reason. its been on for a while now and still nothing. i cant find any thing in the error or access logs either

[Anonymous]

Out of curiosity - What's the station name?

[Anonymous]

Also (karlh or somebody correct me if I'm wrong) I believe your station won't list and start pinging the YP server with updates until there is at least a single listener attached.

[Anonymous]

no listeners right this second but it sill doesnt work when i do have listeners. im just wondering in the oddcast configuration is the stream url supposed to stay as http://www.oddsock.org ? anyway the station is named RadioMonkey.fm and the description is taking requests and to listen its at http://216.26.200.78:8000/ it works fine but the yp doesnt work

[Anonymous]

If your stream url says "oddsock" than I'm guessing you need to adjust/change the YP settings on your client side. If you're using the Oddcast V3 DSP you need to click "YP Settings" and change the values there... I believe "Oddsock" is its default setting.

Are you looking at your logs to see if the YP settings are getting sent/updated? There should be messages there to let you know what's going on with the YP listings ...

[Anonymous]

what would i change the oddsock to? also i do not get anything about yp in the access log but in the error log i get:

These logs are good. "Touch succeeded" means your update was successful.

Why don't you explain exactly how you are broadcasting. i.e.

"I am playing stuff in winamp, with the XXXX plug in, which points to my icecast server" etc.

I assumed you are/were using the Oddsock DSP to send audio to your icecast server... but it certainly would help if you laid out your full setup details...
