LogiKast 1.0 beta 3

LogiKast 1.0 beta 3 — a free Mac app that makes running an Icecast streaming server easy. Built for Radiologik users, and works with any Icecast-compatible encoder.

This is a beta. Please try it and report problems in Issues.

Download

LogiKast-1.0b3.dmg (below, under Assets). Open it and drag LogiKast to Applications. It is signed and notarized by Apple, so it opens without security warnings. Updating from beta 2: replace the app, open it, and restart the server once from Server › Restart Server… so it runs the new Icecast.

Requires: macOS 13 Ventura or later, Apple silicon or Intel. Nothing else to install.

What's new since beta 2

• Software updates: LogiKast checks for updates by itself (Server › Updates), with a Check for Updates… command and a switch to include beta versions. Beta 2 can't update itself, so this one needs a manual install.
• Help › Version Notes (or Beta Version Notes) shows the release notes from the update feed
• Fixed Icecast using 100% CPU while an app or browser kept an idle connection open
• Server start-up fixes: a leftover Icecast from an older copy is stopped before the server starts, a port already in use is named instead of a vague error, and the listener limit can no longer produce a configuration Icecast complains about
• The About window credits Icecast and the bundled libraries, with their licenses
• Fixed menus (such as Window) changing while they were open

Known limitations in this beta

• No HTTPS for listeners yet (plain HTTP only)
• Tested on macOS 27, 26 Tahoe and 15 Sequoia; macOS 13 and 14 are untested
