**Describe the problem**  
I’ve sucessfully installed libretime-4.5.0 on PVS then I’ve installed 2 different Shoutcast Server, SHOUTcast Server Version 1.9.8/Linux (Remote server) and SHOUTcast Server Version v2.6.1.777/posix(linux x64) on the same PVS that Libre Time is installed. I cannot get libretime-4.5.0 to stream the same mp3 to either of the shoutcast server

I’ve tried with the Shoutcast output from the yan file, I’ve tried with the relay option from the Icecast config file and I’ve also tried with a custome liquidsoap script.

**To reproduce**  
Steps to reproduce the behavior.

after changing the sudo nano /etc/libretime/config.yml

```auto
shoutcast: 
- enabled: true 
host: "66.45.230.248" 
port: 8089 
source_password: "R7f3Lx92QaK8:1" 
name: "Haiti Rap Kreyol" genre: "Rap Kreyol" 
public_url: "http://66.45.230.248:8088/stream" 
website: "https://haitirapkreyol.com" 
admin_user: "admin" 
admin_password: "Z5n1Yp47WsM2" 
audio: 
format: "mp3" 
bitrate: 128

```

could not parse configuration: Unrecognized option “description” under “.stream.outputs.shoutcast.0”. Available options are “admin\_password”, “admin\_user”, “audio”, “enabled”, “genre”, “host”, “kind”, “mobile”, “name”, “port”, “public\_url”, “source\_password”, “source\_user”, “website”.

sudo nano /etc/icecast2/icecast.xml

and I’ve entered the following relay details for the version 1.9.8/Linux

```auto
<relay>
    <server>82.145.63.6</server>
    <port>10360</port>
    <mount>/stream</mount>
    <local-mount>/shoutcast.mp3</local-mount>
    <on-demand>0</on-demand>

    <password>492151210dj</password>
    <relay-shoutcast-metadata>1</relay-shoutcast-metadata>
</relay>

```

**Expected behavior**  
I want libretime-4.5.0 to broadcast via Icecast2 and Shoutcast simultaniously.

Liquidsoap 1.4.4 **LibreTime version**  
The version of LibreTime you are running. _You can find the LibreTime version on the **Settings** \> **Status** page._

LibreTime version: (4.5.0)

I’ve never used shoutcast but if you send me a direct message with credentials to connect to your server, I can tinker a bit one of my instances and see what I can do 🙂
