Icecast Streaming Media Server

[Ad]

am running Icecast 2.3.1 and for some reason that I haven't figured out yet I can't relay a stream. Here is my config for the relay section:

<relay>
<server>80.86.113.114</server>
<port>8080</port>
<mount>/live-high.ogg</mount>
<local-mount>/live-high.ogg</local-mount>

<relay-shoutcast-metadata>1</relay-shoutcast-metadata>

I can connect to the link in winamp without any problems. The server is accesible via the lan, so the only problem is with the relay source, when I start the server I get "source_relay_connection = 0" no matter what I try. I have no firewall blocking me. I hope that someone more experienced that me can see something wrong with what I do.

Thanks a lot.

The key thing to check is the log files, specially the error log. Assuming the log level is high enough, you should see attempts being made at starting the relay. If no attempts are even been made then the question is does icecast even know about it, more often than not this is down to the <relay> being commented out in the xml.

BTW, by default, mp3 metadata is requested so <relay-shoutcast-metadata>1</relay-shoutcast-metadata> is not needed also it doesn't apply for ogg streams as the metadata mechanism is completely different. Harmless but pointless.

It seems that the simple things can get you. Indeed it was something that stupid like the <relay> command being commented in the config file. It works fine now.
Thanks a lot for your time.
