[Icecast] https stream play 1 second and stop

[Gary Dearth]

I have the same issue occur on a windows server 2008 running 2.4.3 and recently upgraded to 2.4.4
I don’t know what open ssl was packaged with it.   It seems to run fine for a week or two and then all of a sudden it starts this same issue of playing one second and then stopping.  Restart the service and it works fine for another week or two.  But only an issue on https, the http streams are fine.  Been dealing with this since beginning of year when we created the https streams for alexa use.  Got my distro from the icecast.org repository.

The problem is gone when you restart the STREAM or when you restart Icecast?

Do you have an URL to such a stream for me?

With best regards,
