Cannot start stream with external host

[EwanRoycroft]

I am having trouble connecting connecting nodeshout to external Icecast servers. When connecting to localhost, it works perfectly; but if I put in the hostname for an Icecast server on another computer, the stream fails to start.

The program stops when shout.open() invokes ffi_call() in the FFI proxy function. There is no console output, it just hangs.

Here's my stack trace:

Could you give an example of the hostname that does not work and how you set it?

Tried it on a third network now an it's working fine. I assume this must be a proxy/firewall issue.

I've just tried with a remote icecast server in my local network (192.168.x.x), and I can confirm it's working 👍
