Do you know which version of libshout you ran before the update?

This sounds like there is invalid config passed to libshout.

We do not do any Issue tracking on Github nor use Github for anything
else beside a public mirror. Issue tracking happens here:
https://gitlab.xiph.org/xiph/icecast-libshout/issues

But not, nothing that comes to mind.

In your config you set the mount point to a invalid path. Mounts must
start with a slash. Also your URL metadata (which should point to your
homepage) does have extra new lines around the actual URL. This is
invalid. The station metadata must not include line breaks of any kind.


With best regards,
