3.0.11.32: Cannot connect to streams

Hi Bernd,

I just found out that with the newest version I cannot connect to the streams (Icecast2) I have configured. I rolled back to 3.0.11.30, and there it works no problem.

Please tell me what you need to diagnose the problem. Thank you.

Greetings

Sven

Maybe your Username/Password settings are incorrect.
In .32 I changed the credentials settings and splitted the 'source' and 'admin' username/password into separate fields.

When you open the Stream-Server-Configuration dialog...make sure the "Username" field is empty!

Indeed, I saw this… what do I put in the ‘Admin’ fields?

[Edit] I think this thread can be moved to the ‘Questions & Answers’ section.

In other words, I would put the credentials there that are used for the ‘Statistic relay’ in SAM Broadcaster? You don’t have these by chance for RauteMusik.FM (by PM or e-mail (SvenZ77 AT RauteMusik DOT FM))?

While I’m at it, I’m a bit curious: You don’t have any problem connecting to the Lounge modstream(s) leaving the Admin fields empty in .32? Because that’s my problem (for Goldies).

No, apparently not.
Try these settings:
Username = <leave this field empty>
Password = <specify source-password>
Admin = <leave this field empty>
Password = <leave this field empty>

Yes, that works. Thank you very much.

In the old versions, Icecast2 requested a username, which was usually ‘source’. If this field can now be left empty, this simplifies things a bit. :)

In the Admin username/password fields you might specify your ICEcast admin username and pasword ;-)
This is only needed, if you want to use this streaming server instance also for 'offline' mode operations (ie. to get the listener stats and/or to update the song title info even when not connected) - in any other cases you might simply leave these fields empty.

Yes. this would typically be Admin-Username=admin; Admin-Password=<yourpassword>.
No, I don't have them for RauteMusik.FM - but Neo should have them.
