GStreamer error: Could not connect to server

General

Hey!

So I finally manage to setup my Mopidy Server. But now when I try to play a Track from Spotify or TuneIn and I am getting an Error.

ERROR [MainThread] mopidy.audio.gst GStreamer error: Could not connect to server

This is the whole log:

And this is my config, of course censored.

I am not really sure what I am doing wrong here.

I think this is caused by Mopidy/GStreamer not being able to connect to your Icecast server.

output = lamemp3enc ! shout2send mount=mopidy.mp3 ip=192.168.178.62 port=6680 password=***

According to your configuration, the Icasecast server is expected to be found at 192.168.178.62:6680. The port number looks suspicious, as this is typically the port of Mopidy’s HTTP server. Icecast is typically using 8000 or 8001. Check your Icecast configuration to confirm this.

Yep that was it. No clue how I overlooked it. Thanks a bunch!
