RTL on RPI authentication issue

[va3mw]

All

I am trying to set up my feed and get it off my PC with a dedicated full radio over to the RPI and the RTL dongle.

The RTL dongle is installed on RPI - all tested and works. The configuration file is modified with my user name, password and correct mount point (no slash).

When I start rtl_airband with the correctly configured I can't seem to get authenticated.

Details

I am using the Credentials from my Windows installation, server, username, password and mountpoint, so I know they are valid. I have also tried the authentication password as provided by autoconfig from RadioFeed on Windows. So, that data is good.

On the Pi, as root, when I run

/usr/local/bin/rtl_airband -f -e

That fails with "Could not connect to audio1.broadcastify.com:80"

If I wireshark it the firewall, I can see that I am getting

You need to authenticate

Can I assume the RTL_airband code does work even on non-airband frequencies, or is that a different configuration situation on the server side? I am using it for a 2M VHF frequency.

Or, is there another RPI tool I can use other than rtl_airband?

thanks in advance

Can you post the output section of your config file? Scramble the text if you want.

this stuff:

outputs: (
{
type = "icecast";
server = "icecast.server.example.org";
port = 8080;
mountpoint = "TWR.mp3";
username = "source";
password = "mypassword";
# name = "Tower";
# description = "This is a Tower feed from my local airport";
# genre = "ATC";
}
);

I figured it out not long ago.

The issue is with the username being "source" and the password from the connection as posted on my account. I must have missed that.

I appreciate your posting as once I saw that the user was "source" I would have figured out the rest.
