Dear all
I have installed icecast in tumbleweed. I can start it using the command icecast -c /etc/icecast.xml, but I’m unable to run it as a service, the command systemctl start icecast.service brings always up this error message here:
Failed to start icecast.service: Unit var-run.mount not found.
As an (interesting) option I wanted to try AzuraCast, which uses a suspicious installation routine (Docker). BTW, I gave it a try, but this cannot be installed, the installation fails with the following message:
ERROR: Unsupported distribution ‘opensuse-tumbleweed’
Thank you for your answer. This solve that problem, but what ist var-run.mount for? Next point which I could not solve is the further configuration of icecast. I want to use this as relay between my radio station and my media players (VLC, Strawberry). Background is, when I start the stream directly from the player I will be punished at any time with 30 to 60 seconds of ads. Currently I use CVLC for that which makes a good job but the mp3 metadata from this stream is not tranferred through this CVLC relay. I tried also FFMPEG, with the same result.
Now I try to use icecast fetching the stream from the radio station with FFMPEG and forwarding it to icecast, also here, no metadata:
Obviously there should be a relay function in icecast, but I had no success to get this to work. Is this possible and how it has to be configured? That here is what I tried, unfortunately the is no acceptable documentation about this to find:
