MPD + Icecast2 problem.. socket error

buttface_mcgee · 2009-01-22 14:03:05

Hello everyone,

I use MPD as a source to icecast2 to stream music to my desktop. I had this working with MPD 0.12 (I Think, I'm not sure what the previous version was) and Icecast 2.3.2.

A few days ago, I ran 'pacman -Syu' and updated MPD to 0.14. After I did this, MPD could no longer connect to icecast. Here is what I see in the logs:

==> /var/log/icecast/error.log <==
[2009-01-22  08:47:15] INFO connection/_handle_source_request Source logging in at mountpoint "/mpd.ogg"

==> /var/log/mpd/mpd.error <==

[2009-01-22  08:47:16] INFO source/source_shutdown Source "/mpd.ogg" exiting

So it looks like MPD is connecting to icecast, but isn't sending it a proper ogg stream because of some kind of socket error.

I have already tried the following steps to diagnose or solve the problem:

* I restarted both servers
* I updated the mpd.conf file to follow the new mpd.conf.example that came with 0.14
* I updated to mpd-git in AUR
* I tried increasing the queue size in icecast, in case there is a problem
* I verified that this is not an authentication problem
* I tried verbose logging in mpd... no dice.

Frankly I'm kind of stumped, I don't know what to do next. Do you guys know what is happening?

i just did the upgrade and adjusted the config file; mine's working perfectly as before.

however, mpd no longer looks to ~/.mpdconf?

anyways here's a few of my configs incase you can spot any differences:

brisbin33, thanks! Unfortunately, I cannot find a major difference in our configurations. I am still having problems.

I will try using mp3 instead of ogg in the source

buttface_mcgee · 2009-01-27 16:29:21

Hey, I noticed that there are multiple entries form some formats in the "supported outputs" for my version of MPD.... specifically, two for 'oga' and three for 'ogg'. Could there be some stream compatibility issue because to this?
