Hey there,
I'm trying to use mp3cast~ with Icecast 1.
stupid me, but why are you using icecast-1 instead of icecast-2 ?
Its another Debian problem: the icecast2 package in Debian is ogg only.
i might be totally wrong here, but to my knowledge, icecast stores passwords in plaintexts.
In Debian, icecast is compiled with encrypted passwords option.
i think(! without reading the code), that following is happening: the "passwd" message stores the password in [mp3cast~] for later use. when you send it the [connect( message, it will use the previously stored password to connect to the server. so in this case it is _very important_ that you first send the [passwd( message and then send the [connect( message (else [mp3cast~] would try to connect to the server with an empty/default password)
OK, I've verified that its not a password problem now. The mp3cast~ documentation doesn't seem to mention this.
BTW, thanks for your reply regarding the -nogui option and setting dsp 1. I've just read it on the PD-list archive (as I seem to have intermittent mail delivery from PD-list!) and added it to my patch. Its obviously important, but I still can't connect to my mp3 streams :-(
Cheers, Richard
