Hi. I am having a strange problem where the source times out during anicecast2 stream -- I was using mp3pro at 32khz and even some other speeds. I have set the source timeout for 1 minute, but it still times out or says connection reset by peer. Now the strange thing is that I also had a windows media stream on the same source machine going to a wm server and it had no problems! So can someone tell me am I missing something, is wm more reliable?

Hi: I don't think people are clear on John's problem. He runs the server. He doesn't provide the source, and those who do don't want to do ogg. so the point is finding out whether the problem he's having is a problem with icecast or the source. John, maybe a log excerpt would help. Is it predictable?

I am using simplecast from spacialaudio.com which uses the winamp mp3pro input plugin to encode mp3pro. This is a windows program which takes from the soundcard and streams to either Windows Media or shoutcast or icecast 1 or 2 servers. What happens is that maybe once an hour or maybe longer, I either get connection reset by peer for the source, or it complains about the socket timeout expiring and disconnects the source which automatically logs in again, but the poor listeners have to reconnect. At first I thought they were having network problems at the source, such as someone else using the pipe or something, but then why would the Windows Media work without problems, that is why I thought it might be an icecast bug. Here is a relevant log excerpt: [2003-08-13 21:44:46] INFO connection/_handle_source_request Source logging in at mountpoint "/live_pro", 64.30.208.48 [2003-08-13 21:44:46] INFO connection/_handle_source_request Source tried to log in as /live_pro, but mountpoint is already used, \64.30.208.48 [2003-08-13 21:45:01] INFO connection/_handle_source_request Source logging in at mountpoint "/live_pro", 64.30.208.48 [2003-08-13 21:45:01] INFO connection/_handle_source_request Source tried to log in as /live_pro, but mountpoint is already used, \64.30.208.48 [2003-08-13 21:45:16] INFO connection/_handle_source_request Source logging in at mountpoint "/live_pro", 64.30.208.48 [2003-08-13 21:45:16] INFO connection/_handle_source_request Source tried to log in as /live_pro, but mountpoint is already used, \64.30.208.48 [2003-08-13 21:45:30] WARN source/source_main Disconnecting source: socket timeout (60 s) expired, 64.30.208.48 [2003-08-13 21:45:30] INFO source/source_main Removing source following disconnection, 64.30.208.48 [2003-08-13 21:45:30] INFO source/source_main Source "/live_pro" exiting, 64.30.208.48 [2003-08-13 21:45:31] INFO connection/_handle_source_request Source logging in at mountpoint "/live_pro", 64.30.208.48 [2003-08-13 21:45:31] DBUG source/source_main Source creation complete, 64.30.208.48 -- John Covici covici@ccs.covici.com --- >8 ---- List archives: http://www.xiph.org/archives/ icecast project homepage: http://www.icecast.org/ To unsubscribe from this list, send a message to 'icecast-dev-request@xiph.org' containing only the word 'unsubscribe' in the body.

But the source computer runs the other os, so I don't have too much choice as to what I can do and the timeout problems remain with mp3 as well. The persons involved don't want to use .ogg for now so that is also not an option. Is this an icecast bug, or some other problem? on Thursday 08/14/2003 Arc(arc@indymedia.org) wrote > On Thu, Aug 14, 2003 at 12:01:11PM -0400, John Covici wrote: > > Hi.

I don't think it'll work with Icecast2.> Now the strange thing is that I also had a windows media stream on > the same source machine going to a wm server and it had no problems! > So can someone tell me am I missing something, is wm more reliable?If you need MP3, try using ices0, or better yet use ices2 and stream Ogg Vorbis. Better quality than MP3 (by far), and if you feel the need you can supply your users with easy access to a Java (JOrbis) client for listening without an Ogg-enabled player (which most are nowadays). <p> -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

It's almost certainly a bug in that software, not in icecast2. However, I can't say for certain without you giving a LOT more detailed information.
