Mountpoint already in use

Mountpoint already in use.

Last updated September 20261 min read

Why this happened

Something is already connected to this station's mountpoint. Icecast gives a mount to whoever connected first and refuses the second source.

How to fix it

  • Disconnect the other encoder — including one left running on another machine.
  • Check you are not pointing two programs at the same mount on purpose.
  • Wait a few seconds after disconnecting: the server takes a moment to release the mount.
Note

This is not the AutoDJ mount. AutoDJ holds its own and never competes for the station's.
