Hi all, I have been Shoutcasting for six years now but am looking at using an Icecast server because of its active and ongoing development. I have broadcasters who use Shoutcast-compatible tools so the Shoutcast compatibility is important to me. I downloaded the latest version of Icecast and used the supplied configuration file for Shoutcast compatibility as a template. I can in fact connect using the Sam Encoder in Shoutcast mode just fine to the server, however, when anyone attempts to connect to the server using the Shoutcast DSP plug-in, they eventually get connected to the server but quickly get dropped with the message "connection to remote server lost". The server is on port 9000. I've specified an arbitrary mount point name, set a listen port at 9000 and another at 9001 which has the ShoutcastCompat flag on. Does anyone have any ideas? I would be happy to supply the xml file with garbage passwords if anyone has the time to take a look. Thanks in advance.

With the sam client working while connecting in the same way, that would indicate something like auth failing. karl.

Also, do you have any other sources connected ? The default config only allows 2 sources, so if you are connecting more, you would want to bump that up... oddsock
Hi, yes the broadcasters are indeed connecting to 9000. I don't have any other sources connecting. Most mysterious.

As Karl suggested, the error log with logging set to 4 will probably be the most useful thing you can supply, but I'm happy to look at your config as well. I've not actually tried this feature, but I've been meaning to so this might provide the needed excuse.
