Hello  
I just installed Libretime and wanted to connect Libretime with my Shoutcast stream now.  
This only happens when I restart liquid soap every time.  
Then I once entered a show in the calendar and let music play.  
It does not play music and continues to display the offline title. It thus updates the title and information of the stream only when I restart liquid soap.

I use Ubuntu 16.04

I ask for quick help!  
Thank you.

I’m not sure if anyone has successfully used shoutcast.

Are you trying to use Shoutcast v2? As documented on [https://github.com/savonet/liquidsoap/issues/430](https://github.com/savonet/liquidsoap/issues/430) that would not be supported.

Are there any infos in the `ls_script.log` file (somewhere in `/var/log/airtime`)?
