I agree, Liquidsoap is the way to go. Getting darkice to work reliably
was something I gave up on in the end. I think the best up time I had
was about 6 weeks.
I have a guide on pastebin (http://pastebin.com/u/MezzFA0) for
liquidsoap, JACK and rotter using Ubuntu server. Since I set it up
about a year ago its still working fine without any intervention. The
bonus is by using upstart scripts to get everything going, if any
component fails it will auto restart (I tested it by killing random
processes but as far as I can tell nothing has broken since then).

I have to confess I abandoned Darkice as I had a lot of issues with it

stable... although we were using an old vs of Darkice and I hear
things have improved.
What OS are you using? Are you using the latest DarkIce? Have you got
the latest Jack? Jack and Darkice need to run as the same user.
The DarkIce config that "worked" for us was:
# sample DarkIce configuration file, edit for your needs before using
# see the darkice.cfg man page for details
# this section describes general aspects of the live streaming session
[general]
duration = 0 # duration of encoding, in seconds. 0 means forever
bufferSecs = 10 # size of internal slip buffer, in seconds
reconnect = yes # reconnect to the server(s) if disconnected
#realtime= no
#rtprio= 4
# this section describes the audio input that will be streamed
[input]
device = jack_auto
sampleRate = 48000 # sample rate in Hz. try 11025, 22050 or 44100
bitsPerSample = 16 # bits per sample. try 16
channel = 2 # channels. 1 = mono, 2 = stereo
#[file-0]
#bitrateMode= cbr
#format= vorbis
#bitrate= 192
#fileName= /home/hamster/backup.ogg
# this section describes a streaming connection to an IceCast2 server
# there may be up to 8 of these sections, named [icecast2-0] ...
[icecast2-7]
# these can be mixed with [icecast-x] and [shoutcast-x] sections
[icecast2-0]
bitrateMode = abr # average bit rate
format = vorbis # format of the stream: ogg vorbis
bitrate = 128 # bitrate of the stream sent to the server
server = server.co.uk
# host name of the server
port = 8000 # port of the IceCast2 server, usually 8000
password = password1 # source password to the IceCast2 server
mountPoint = radiostation.ogg # mount point of this stream on the
IceCast2 server
name = Name of station - High Quality OGG stream
# name of the stream
description = description
# description of the stream
url = http://www.mysite.org.uk/listen
# URL related to the stream
genre = genre # genre of the stream
public = yes # advertise this stream?

Hello,
I am trying to set up Icecast2 and darkice but I just can seem to get
them to work. Icecast loads up fine but when trying to load darkice I
get the following:
Starting icecast2: jorge@jorge-Inspiron-1000:~$ sudo darkice -c
~/darkice.cfg
DarkIce 0.20.1 live audio streamer, http://darkice.tyrell.hu/
Copyright (c) 2000-2007, Tyrell Hungary, http://tyrell.hu/
Using config file: /home/jorge/darkice.cfg
Using JACK audio server as input device.
Using POSIX real-time scheduling, priority 98
jack_client_new: deprecated
Cannot connect to server socket err = No such file or directory
Cannot connect to server socket
jack server is not running or cannot be started
DarkIce: JackDspSource.cpp:216: JACK server not running? [0]
But jack IS running.
If I change the input device in the config file I get the following:
DarkIce 0.20.1 live audio streamer, http://darkice.tyrell.hu/
Copyright (c) 2000-2007, Tyrell Hungary, http://tyrell.hu/
Using config file: /home/jorge/darkice.cfg
Using ALSA DSP input device: default
Using POSIX real-time scheduling, priority 98
Home directory /home/jorge not ours.
DarkIce: DarkIce.cpp:1187: can't open connector [0]
Any ideas? suggestions?
