I am trying to push my local police department scanner feed to the web using icecast2 and darkice. My configuration files are below. When I visit the web address for this stream, I receive "The file you requested could not be found." Clearly, the stream is not being found. Does anyone have experience configuring a live stream. Googling the issue only leads me to people streaming music and such from static files. Anyone ever done this?

Mark, add .ogg to the mountpoint.

Getting closer... When starting darkice, I receive:

Using config file: /etc/darkice.cfg
Using OSS DSP input device: /dev/dsp
Using POSIX real-time scheduling, priority 98
DarkIce: VorbisLibEncoder.cpp:177: vorbis encode init error [1]

I clearly need a valid encoder... Which one I wonder. Time for more research.

Still not showing any mountpoints. On the horizon!

Just wondering. Did you compile darkice, or install it from a package?

I had originally compiled it, however I purged darkice and icecast, removed the directories and config files, and then installed again from the repos.

Do you have libogg0, libvorbis0a, and libvorbisenc2 installed?

I have checked to see if the required packages are installed for vorbis encoding.

mark@markserver:~$ sudo apt-get install libogg0

The stream is now functioning at a sampleRate of 11025 instead of the previous 44100. Happy as a clam now.
