Shoutcast is not working, without further information

[mbarsocchi]

I'm trying to connect to a shoutcast server from a darkice client using Ubuntu. This is my configuration:

#this section describes general aspects of the live streaming session
[general]
duration        = 0        # duration of encoding, in seconds. 0 means forever
bufferSecs      = 10          # size of internal slip buffer, in seconds
reconnect       = yes       # reconnect to the server(s) if disconnected
realtime        = no       # run the encoder with POSIX realtime priority
rtprio          = 3         # scheduling priority for the realtime threads

# this section describes the audio input that will be streamed
[input]
device           = hw:CARD=PCH,DEV=0
sampleRate      = 44100                 # sample rate in Hz. try 11025, 22050 or 44100
bitsPerSample   = 16                    # bits per sample. try 16
channel         = 2                     # channels. 1 = mono, 2 = stereo

# this section describes a streaming connection to an IceCast2 server
# there may be up to 8 of these sections, named [icecast2-0] ... [icecast2-7]
# these can be mixed with [icecast-x] and [shoutcast-x] sections
[shoutcast-0]
bitrateMode     = cbr
format          = mp3
bitrate         = 96
quality         = 1.0
server          = xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
port            = 8020
password        = xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
name            = Radio website
url             = https://www.mywebsite.it
genre           = live
public          = no

But when I run

darkice -v 10 -c /etc/darkice-shoutcast.cfg

It only shows this, without errors or similar, but there is no streaming at the url. Using BUTT it works. I've also tested with 8021 instead of 8020 for port (8020 it's the port number given by the provider) but no luck.

DEBUGGED It seems the error is related to the password and wrong parsing of the config file, so I've written it without spaces.

Indeed. Recent upgrade from 1.3 to 1.4 exposed this problem, as the previous config was working just fine.

1.4 will work only without any spaces. So, password=foo
