[mp3cast~]'s output on the pd-window should give you a hint, whether it could connect to the icecast-server or not. if nothing tells you, that connection failed or something like that, i would assume that it could connect correctly and that the problem might be with the connection between client-app and server. some random possible problems, that come to my mind: -did you try to connect the client on the right port (e.g. http://yourhost.com:8080/yourstream.mp3 ) ? -is the port not blocked by a firewall? > I wondered whether perhaps it might help if I sent all the settings messages > every time I sent 'connect' so I altered my patch.

If so, would it > matter what order I sent the 'connect' and 'passwd' messages to mp3cast~? yes, you can send the messages in a certain order in pd and yes, it DOES matter when sending the settings-messages to [mp3cast~]. first set all settings like passwd, mountpoint, bitrate etc and after this send the [connect blabla.com 8080(-message. you could put all settings-messages in one single message-box, separated by a ',' like for example: [name streamname, mountpoint yourstream.mp3, icecast2, password yourpasswd, mpeg 44100 128 1 4( good luck roman > On the other hand, of course, that's probably not the problem anyway.
