Hello,
I am streaming to Broadcastify using the icecast server (a basic analog feed for ham radio) on Linux. I receive the message:
MP3 queue full, dropping chunk
and the stream drops.
Anything I can do to stop getting this message?
My config file looks like this (is there anything that looks wrong in it?):
[rtl_sdr]
sample_rate = 1024000

center_freq_mhz = 146.64
gain_mode = 0 ; 0 = automatic gain, 1 = manual gain
tuner_gain = 90 ; in tenths of dB (e.g., 90 = 9.0 dB), only used when gain_mode = 1
ppm_correction = 0 ; frequency correction in PPM (0 = disabled)
fm_mode = narrow ; wide or narrow

[audio]
audio_rate = 22050
mp3_bitrate = 16
mp3_quality = 2
audio_buffer_seconds = 2

[audio_filters]
lowcut_enabled = true ; true or false
lowcut_freq = 500.0 ; in Hz, frequencies below this will be attenuated
lowcut_order = 4 ; filter order (higher = steeper cutoff, but more CPU)

[squelch]
enabled = true ; true or false
threshold = -10.0 ; in dB, signals below this will be muted
hold_time = 125 ; in milliseconds, how long to keep squelch open after signal drops

[icecast]
host = audio9.broadcastify.com
port = 80
mount = /
station_title=station-example
password =
user = source
protocol = http ; only http is supported for now
format = mp3
reconnect_attempts = 5
reconnect_delay_ms = 2000

[scanner]
scan = false ; false
step_delay = 100 ; ms

[scanlist]
ch0 = 127.100,AM,Sector G
ch1 = 118.700,AM,EFTP TWR
ch2 = 126.200,AM,EFTP Radar
ch5 = 119.100,AM,EFHK a
ch6 = 119.900,AM,EFHK b
ch7 = 126.900,AM,Pietari
ch8 = 132.325,AM,Sector M

thank you

According to ChatGPT, adjust the buffer. That may work.
