Hello,

Have been using AirTime for a few years and would like to migrate over to LibreTime. Install appeared to go OK, however having trouble connecting the stream to our separate Icecast server. When I try to enable the stream it get’s stuck saying Getting information from the server…

In the Icecast server log I get:

WARN fserve/fserve\_client\_create req for file “/usr/share/icecast/web/stream” No such file or directory

Any ideas, where to look next? I’ve used the same stream settings to connect as I did on the AirTime server which connects OK.

Cheers,

Nathan.

It seems you figured out how to change from the default stream to a custom one!

From the log entry it looks like the `stream` part is the mount path that LibreTime is using when connecting to icecast.

Can you confirm that you intend the stream to be on `http://icecast.example.org:8000/stream`?

Also, check the liquidsoap logs. They might have more info as to where it is failing.
