Mopidy unable to connect to icecast2

General
1

this used to work just fine on my device, however i tried to change encoding from lamemp3enc to ogg and it stopped working, i have scince tried back with lamemp3enc, reinstalling both mopidy and icecast but nothing seems to work
mopidy.conf
output = audioresample ! audioconvert ! vorbisenc ! oggmux ! shout2send async=false mount=mopidy ip=127.0.0.1 port=11000 password=stuff
icecast.xml is pretty much default

<hostname>127.0.0.1</hostname>
<listen-socket>
        <port>11000</port>
        <!-- <bind-address>127.0.0.1</bind-address> -->
        <!-- <shoutcast-mount>/stream</shoutcast-mount> -->
    </listen-socket>

<mount>
  <mount-name>/mopidy</mount-name>
  <fallback-mount>/silence.ogg</fallback-mount>
  <fallback-override>1</fallback-override>
</mount>

mopidy will show this error message

ERROR    2021-03-17 20:05:34,118 [12558:MainThread] mopidy.audio.gst
  GStreamer error: Could not connect to server

while ice cast gives …

Any chance you did an upgrade as part of this? The later versions of libshout3 are bugged as per the warning in the docs. What version do you have?

i saw the warning on docs but as it just states the issue is with ubuntu 20.04 i thought it was fine with debian bullseye
i installed ffmpeg to convert my silence.mpeg to silence.ogg, perhaps apt went ahead and upgraded this package as a dependency, i did upgrade latter as it wasn’t working anymore in hope it would fix it
libshout3/testing,now 2.4.5-1+b1 armhf [installed]
any work arround?

already managed to get it back up and working using the deb from the debian buster repo
https://packages.debian.org/buster/libshout3

I guess I must change the warning to specify the last known working libshout version (v2.4.1). I saw the issue in libshout3 2.4.3-1 and I think the problem was this one. I vaguely remember rebuilding from source and applying a hacky workaround from the Gitlab issue and it worked again. Sorry but I don’t recall exactly what I tried but that is one workaround.

It’s a shame it’s still not fixed and pretty bad news considering new Debian stable is just around the corner. I think we will have to remove the Icecast page entirely and stop suggesting it.

OK, that’s another workaround. Thanks for the update.

I’ve added docs: more specifics regarding libshout problem · mopidy/mopidy@f17acac · GitHub
