Mount point can't handle special characters

Get Help
1

I’m planning to use an Icecast CDN which contains a mount point with special characters like this:

https://someurl.com:8000/sz=radio=station

When I try to configure the mount point I enter sz=radio=station as the mount name. But after saving this config the only string that’s left is ‘sz’ so everything including and after the ‘=’ isn’t stored.
Is there a way to work around this problem?

Have you tried to URL encode the ‘=’?

Does it work when you enter: https://someurl.com:8000/sz%3Dradio%3Dstation

Encode it here: https://www.urlencoder.org/

Hi Matth :slight_smile:

The URL encoder did help a bit because now I can save the config in LibreTime. But now I see this error message (using the MP3 encoder profile):

I tested the newly created URL mount point as you suggested. With another Icecast client (Butt) I managed to mount with the same credentials I used in LibreTime. So something seems to be going wrong within the LibreTime environment while mounting this mount point.
