Hello  
I am naively trying to get Raspbian, Iris & Icecast2 to work together. I have got iris on line, mopidy is running

The icecast 2 is online but I cannot get the icecast to see mopdiy as a mountpoint. I have followed in the installation instruction for this in the mopidy documentation adding

 /mopidy.mp3 /silence.ogg 1

to the /etc/icecast2/icecast.xml file

Would anyone have any idea where I can look now to move forward ?  
Thank you

Thanks for the interest. I have got it all working ‘sort of’.  
The key is to have the mopidy user in the audio & video groups

MOPIDY MUST BE PART OF AUDIO & VIDEO GROUPS (if not player does not work)  
sudo gpasswd -a mopidy audio

sudo gpasswd -a mopidy video

sudo systemctl restart mopidy

And in Iris web settings, turn on the Icecast2 settings. If you cannot see the Icecast2 settings in Iris, check your install procedure.

For the record, that sort of requirement is entirely OS specific. The requirement to be part of the audio group is new though, we don’t have that in our install documentation. And I presume you are using the “full desktop” flavour of Raspbian, the “lite” version doesn’t require this (or any other OS AFAIK).

You got it. I have a desktop raspbian version.
