Icecast 2.5.0 was released on December 31, 2025. This release brings new features to the web interface and adds experimental dark mode. The team also added listener counts to source events and added X-Forwarded-For support using virtual sockets. This version also changes the way TLS clients on high buffer pressure are handled. The API now reports more data to the clients. Finally, there are several smaller updates to CI/CI and general build infrastructure.

BUTT 1.45.0 was just released. BUTT (Broadcast Using This Tool) is an easy to use, multi OS streaming tool that supports Icecast, Shoutcast and WebRTC.

This version adds support for custom URLs and mount points for listener statistics, adds separate MIDI commands for START/STOP Broadcasting and Recording, and adds support for controlling BUTT via MIDI NOTE_ON messages. This version also brings a bunch of bug fixes.

Any recommendations for internet radio stations?

somafm is one of my favorites, and I'm aware of tilderadio, but looking to see what else is out there.

@nsartor You can install and configure Icecast2 on the computer with the Linux server. There are Android apps to stream to an Icecast2 server in the Play store.

Do you want to play and control your music on Android to MythTV and MythMusic?

Does anyone know if Icecast2 is still being actively developed and maintained?

Icecast is a streaming media server which currently supports WebM and Ogg streaming including the Opus, Vorbis and Theora codecs. The last stable release was released back in October 31, 2018.

Day 5 now of #MPD connecting to, but never streaming to #IceCast2, I've built from source, built #ffmpeg from source, profiled, gdb and still not a shred of progress. I notice ldd finds libdbus in ffmpeg, and I wonder, can a systemd service call libraries linked to dbus? Wild guess. Even so, I would expect it to exit, not spin out of control transcoding audio and taking the server down, and even if it does, I had hoped some debug verbose log somewhere would say something, anything.

Another step in #homecloud! I had been using a Raspberry Pi4B, and I loaded it up, #Nextcloud, #Icecast2, #Wordpress, even never visited #Mobilizon, and it ran pretty good, no issues. Then I added #Pixelfed, and clearly it was straining, especially during overnight CRON jobs. So today I completed porting the works, not without hiccups and timely kind fedi- and forum help (opensource is cool!), to an #rpi5 that boasts twice the RAM and twice the speed!

And now I have a spare rpi4B 😈

I now have a dilemma with #Mobilizon: I'm running avalonjazz.ca on a proxied broken laptop because I wanted to try it out first; it does have many warts and caveats unfixed for years, but the European Commission has picked it up, and the google-juice is hard ignore when competing with IG for musician attentions, HOWEVER it is tightly bound to NGINX, and my #Nextcloud, #WordPress, and #icecast2 only support #Apache, esp NC already notorious for recommending obsolete bits. This is the new puzzle.

First question: if I attempt to migrate my rpi4B+ to #caddyserver from Apache2, am I headed for heartache?

Second question is technical: I have one domain with a static page site that redirects a sub-path to WordPress and that same #letsencrypt cert must also be combined full-chain+key put elsewhere as a PEM file for #icecast2. Is this triple-app coverage for one cert doable with caddy?

I presently build the icecast2 cert by hand every ninety days, which is a pain. There must be a better way.

And here I found a gig from #VacuumOnVacuum, my band at the time doing a (partly) live #Electronic / #Ambient gig. We didn't fit into the taxi, so we set up our synths and Windows XP desktop PC running Cubase in the building behind.

That gig was in May 2005 and broadcast live on 87.7FM in Cambridge as well as online as MP3 and OGG via #Icecast2 running inside #WinAmp...

If my memory serves ok we'd have had a Juno60, MS-20, Space Echo & sampler.
