This page lists known problems of latest released Icecast when operating with TLS enabled.

  • 'listenurl' in the internal XML status representation is not protocol aware and will always use 'http' + first listen-socket.
  • Virtual playlist files don't work
  • Authentication helper doesn't work (needs verification)
  • Certificate reload is not implemented in 2.4.x. Icecast2 2.4.x needs to be restarted to reload the certificate.

TLS Mode compatibility charts

The following list Icecast configuration settings (horizontal) versus client settings (vertical). Note: While auto mode may connect using TLS it will not establish a secure connection. auto_no_plain will ensure a secure connection.
