I'm doing a project on live audio streaming using Icecast and mixxx. I configured icecast server successfully. I'am able to listen the audio but sometimes connection reset occurs and the connection can be again established by refreshing the page. This becomes a series issue when two or more listeners are present. how can i solve this issue?

Remedies depend on the root causing these disconnections. Likely we are faced with a bandwidth issue where listeners have a temporary drop, or the Icecast server is unable to provide streams at the rate demanded.

  • In the likely case that we can not easily increase overall bandwidth we can try to priorize all streaming connections e.g. in the router.

  • Alternatively we can try to gently increase the source timeout limits to disconnect clients in our ìcecast.xml configuration file in the section <limits>:

    <limits>
    ...
    <source-timeout>10<source-timeout>
    ...
<limits>

  • Another method to avoid disconnecting clients it to define a low bitrate fallback mount in the <mount> section.
