Icecast - Jul 2016 - Config and other areas of struggle

No, you can’t configure that loopback. if the other machines work using an
external address it must be something else.
What mount point name are you using?

I still think you are very close to realising the issue.
I’m here for a while, and will help you if you need it.
remote desktop if you need.

Regards

Hi Alan,
OK. The only thing I still don’t understand now is this router loopback thing.
If my router has no loopback, why does Icecast need this when other servers
don’t? What does it do? Is loopback something that can be enabled/disabled?
Cheers.

Hi Alan,
OK. I am now streaming on mountpoint /blah. I’m not streaming music just yet,
but if the stream works you should hear me typing and other stuff. Life in my
living room, if you like.
I still don’t understand why Icecast needs loopback when other servers don’t.
Here’s an example: I have an SCM system, Fossil server running on port 80 and
8000. I can access repositories on that server by either localhost/repo or
home.dayme.me/repo.
I have an FTP server which, again, I can access on ftp://localhost or
ftp://home.dayme.me.
Why can’t I do the same thing on Icecast?
Cheers.
