I'm totally new to this, so forgive me. I've installed Icecast, Liveice, Lame and MPG123 in usr/local directory, each with its own directory. In icecast.conf I've set the server name to a name that resolves to home network IP address. streamurl is set to http://servername:8000. staticdir is set to /usr/local/icecast/static. In liveice.cfg, the servername is the same as in icecast.conf. passwork is the same as encoder_passwork in icecast.conf and URL is set to http://servername. the file playlist contains the absolute address to an mp3 file. some of the other settings are SOUNDCARD, HALF_DUPLEX, USE_LAME3. Inside icecast/bin i put the executables for liveice and lame. when i do ./icecast, after the line where it says "starting relay connector thread", it says bandwidth 0 sources 0 clients 0 etc. next i do ./liveice (from within /usr/liveice) i see: playlist 1 initializing soundcard opening connection to server 8000 attempting to contact server connection successful: forking process but then nothing else happens. at this point, in the terminal where i did ./icecast, another line appears that says: Accepted encoder on mountpoint /liveice from servername.domain.name 1 sources connect. but i don't hear anything!!!! in another terminal, i run: xmms http://servername:8000 but i don't hear anything. If i set the port in liveice.cfg to anything other than 8000 and 8001, when i do ./liveice I hear the file. what am i doing wrong?
