OS : Ubuntu 18.04.6  
PC : Z440 workstation

By January, LibreTime had been installed and used on three other Z440 workstations.  
These three LibreTime work well so far.

However, installing a new LibreTime from last week will cause errors such as images.  
\< Can not connect to the streaming server  
Problem with Liquidsoap…\>

Is there any way to solve this?

> I also had this issue so came here and found this post. I tried a few different commits all with the same issue. In the end just went all the way back to the one that biulas reccomended above which is this one: This version is working great. I installed on a clean Linode VM like this: git clone https://github.com/LibreTime/libretime.git cd libretime git checkout 9f1e41e6fa8656d2aa2dc74d2ed07026bef38593 sudo bash install -fiap Hope this helps

to overcome this, you have to change the icecast settings. I was looking at it last night. I am not very good at linux commands etc so really struggled. Also the webstreams didn’t work. I have installed from the branch mentioned below , but the webstream only stays on air for approximately 5mins.

I had that problem and I fixed it by making a change in my /etc/hosts file.

By default, Digital Ocean set up the VM with one entry there which included my fully qualified domain name----but it was to the loopback address. Looked like this:

127.0.0.1 localhost  
127.0.1.1 [libretime.mydomain.com](http://libretime.mydomain.com) libretime

My libretime installation was acting a little squirrely, including the problem you mention of “Cannot connect to streaming server…”. I added one more entry with the static public ip and the FQDM like this:

127.0.0.1 localhost  
127.0.1.1 [libretime.mydomain.com](http://libretime.mydomain.com) libretime  
123.123.456.2 [libretime.mydomain.com](http://libretime.mydomain.com) libretime

Immediately fixed the problem.
