G,

Does darkice itself stay running through the internet outage? If darkice is dying, that is easy to detect and restart. If it is still running just not feeding the BCFY stream that may be more problematic.

Darkice, darksnow and icecast all pop up occasionally in TOP, but none steady.

Question. What is darkice, darksnow and icecast?

Question. What is darkice, darksnow and icecast?

Darkice is audio streaming software www.darkice.org

Darksnow is simply a GUI for darkice. DarkSnow - The Revolution Will Be Streamed

Icecast is audio server software, the software that receives the audio from darkice and serves it up so that we can hear it from a web browser or app. Www.icecast.org Think of Broadcastify as an icecast server. An icecast server runs easily on a raspberry pi.

DC31...Thank you for these easy to follow instructions.

A couple more changes for good operation:

1. Open the file /home/pi/.darksnow/darkice.cfg with a text editor. At the end of the first section [ General] add the line reconnect = yes. If you run into permissions problems, try using the nano editor at the command line: sudo nano /home/pi/.darksnow/darkice.cfg
2. Your usb sound card may be either hw:1,0 or hw:2,0. If one doesn’t work, try the other.

I'm a new Pi user with no Linux experience. I'm attempting to use a Pi 3B to stream our ham repeater audio. I'm using Darkice and set it up using the info on this page:

Broadcastify Raspberry Pi Image - The RadioReference Wiki

wiki.radioreference.com

That seemed to go smoothly, with one exception ...

On the darkice config page, what do I put in for the name of the feed? Is it the alphanumeric string I named the feed in my setup request to Broadcastify? Or is it the 5 digit feed ID? Or my log in ID? I have tried them all and am not seeing my feed show up. I have searched every pi page I can find on here with no solution.

I've watched a few youtube videos as well looking for solutions.

Thoughts anyone?

I am pretty sure that BCFY does not pull the entry from the Name field. So it makes no difference what you put in there or if you leave it blank. Look elsewhere for the connection problem you are encountering.

Raspberry Pi Darkice streaming made easy

I have put together an SD card image for a Raspberry Pi which should work "out of the box" to set up a pi for streaming. You will need a Pi3 or earlier. It will not work on a pi4 as it is based on Raspbian Stretch Lite and the 4 requires Buster. Darkice requires pretty minimal CPU resources...

Thanks. I will.

Post your darkice configuration file and error messages and maybe we can help.
