[Icecast] Darkice / Icecast2 - please assist

[Tillmann A. Basien | ToolBox Solution GmbH]

I am using Darkice 0.17.1 and Icecast2 2.3.1


Darkice cannot talk to icecast, and I have no idee about there reason:

Logentry on icecast server side:
[2009-04-29 16:48:49] EROR connection/_handle_connection HTTP request
parsing failed

config for Icecast is a standard mount which works with ices.

config for darkice is:
[icecast-0]
bitrateMode = vbr # constant bit rate
bitrate = 128 # bitrate of the mp3 stream sent to the server
quality = 1.0 # encoding quality
server = www.kipradio.de
# host name of the server
format = mp3
port = 8000 # port of the IceCast server, usually 8000
password = xxxxxx # source password to the IceCast server
mountPoint = /stottilien # mount point of this stream on the
IceCast server


Any help is appreaciated ....

[icecast-0]

try again with [icecast2-0]... (and the correct values for such a section)
FTR: [icecast-0] is for icecast1.x

After I changed in darkice config [Icecast-0] to [Icecast2-0] as
mention from Thomas, I got a connect to the Icecast2 Server.
But I can not here anything.

During my analysis I found out:
1) Darkice is producing data (localDumpfile and darkice prints at the
end "3530752 bytes transfered to the encoders")
2) I see network traffic between darkice and icecast2, also a connect
steatment in the log

I tried in darkice remoteDumpfile and also in icecast2 with out success.
I used "ices" and the dumpfile is generated and the client plays what I
expected.

Conclusio:
:-) MP3file -> ices (mp3) -> Icecast 2.3.1-> client works
:-( /dev/dsp -> DarkIce 0.17.1 (mp3) -> Icecast 2.3.1-> client does not
work

Is there any spezical flag in darkice config or icecast2 config?

filling, no play-start)
