Thanks for the prompt reply Thomas, Well as an amateur, and newbie, I would not know reading logs does not mean anything to me as I have no idea what it means when I can actually find them, this is why I am so confused. Not too sure how to check the logs, maybe obvious to some, but alas I'm not quite acquainted with the walking yet. I have searched for a very long time with issues streaming to a shoutcast server via icecast, just can't find anything out about it. If I were to stream using icecast, would it be the icecast.xml I would have to configure for the shoutcast server, or.. just the darkice.cfg? Icecast is working like a dream streaming live audio to anything that connects to it (the pi), just trying to push that live stream to a shoutcast server via the darkice.cfg.. I'm wondering if I should point anything from the icecast.xml to the shoutcast server, but last time I did that it broke - wasn't sure what I was doing anyway. I may have to try something else I guess, but I hope I don't fox-up anything by doing that, I've spent days configuring the little raspberry pi, hate to start all over. eesh..

If it is with Icecast not accepting a stream, then you should check the Icecast error.log. I don't remember details, but I seem to remember darkice is not very keen on verbose logging. Have you considered using a different source client like Ices2? If your problem is with Shoutcast, then we obviously can't help you.

You've got two options. 1. If you are able to configure the Shoutcast server, you can configure it to tune into your Icecast server just like any listener and relay the stream that way. this is the best solution if you can do it as you only need to send the source once, but it requires you to be able to configure the Shoutcast server which you may not be able to do. 2. If 1 isn't possible, you can configure Darkice to send to both servers. simply include a [shoutcast-0] section in your config file along with the [icecast2-0] section that presumably already appears. Note that darkice will encode this stream separately so the Pi will need to be able to encode two audio streams in real-time. HTH, Geoff.
Thank you Geoff, I think I will give that option 1 a go later. As option 2 will not have it, even if I comment out the Icecast section, and just have the shoutcast section; i've tried different combination of config in that section and get presented with various connection errors. The two servers which I have access to, one of which I do know that there is a relay option, so I will check that out, this could be the answer I am looking for. I will let you know how I get on with that option. Thank you very much!
