restarting streamtranscoder w/ out killing listeners
Hi folks I'm running streamtranscoder on my icecast server. Unfortunately, after 5-15 minutes of transcoding, it sometimes produces jumpy/skippy audio or drops the stream altogether. What I'd like to do is restart streamtranscoder every 5 minutes. However, when I kill streamtranscoder and bring it back, all listeners on the stre...

The streamTranscoder is a multi-platform utility which can be used to transcode media streams from one format to another, and from one server type to another. It will read in streams of type MP3 and Vorbis from most servers (Icecast, Icecast2, Shoutcast), convert it into various formats, and send to various streaming s...

Severe problem with Icecast2 and streamTranscoder
I have a setup where Icecast 2.2.0 is serving a single Vorbis stream. The source is either a local ices2 or a remote Winamp/Oddcast. I'm then running a streamTranscoder 1.2.8 instance on the server to transcode the Vorbis stream to MP3 on the fly and send it back to Icecast, to be served at a different mountpoint. My config files are very basic with most settings at their defaults. The problem is that whenever enough listeners (usually more than 10 is needed) co...

elegant way of re-encoding?
...low quality ogg and mp3 streams, re-encoded from the single hi-quality ogg stream. encoding all from e.g. oddcast simultaniously is not an option. it would be easier if source-streams would be static and always named the same .. unfortunately they are not. if so, I could define simple configs for streamtranscoder (if I understood the use of streamtranscoder correctly ;) so, what I'm looking for is a way to re-encode every stream which is sent to the icecast server, as soon as it is started. this could be done with streamtranscoder and a looped bash script around, that looks if there is a source, if so...

OT: whats your opinion of ODDSOCK streamTranscoder?
This is all happening on a box with: Win 2k SP3 512K RAM 1.2 GHZ Celeron The PC has noother load...all its doing is downsampling an MP3 stream to lower bitrates. I'm using the LAME_ENC.DLL with streamTranscoder. There is no version number tagged on the lame_enc.dll, but the file is dates July 2002. When I refer to "skipped and popped and dropped" I am referring to your listening experience. Maybe skipped is a bad description. Your chosen mp3 player will experience a frequent buffer underruns....

What is everyones opinion and expierience with using ODDSOCK streamTranscoder to downsample mp3 streams? I tried it on Windows 2000 and then compared it against shoutCAST DSP plugin. It sucked. It skipped and popped and cut off the first 1/2 second of each track and dropped. It sucked, while shoutCast DSP was flawless. What attracted to me to streamTranscoder was you don...

Consider the following: I've been running tests where I've set up more than one instance of streamTranscoder - all running on the same machine as the Icecast server and with identical config files - to transcode test.ogg into, say, test1.mp3 and test2.mp3. Then when I connect enough clients to test1.mp3, the streamTranscoder instance producing that stream usually starts misbehaving seriously after a few...

After updating my kernel (!), the CPU load figures given by 'top' and 'ps' for streamTranscoder suddenly rose from 0.0-0.3% to about 30-60%. There are occasional peaks above that, which might very well be causing the problem. And the system load now shows as 4.0-5.0, which doesn't sound very encouraging either. Next, I'm going to figure out if reducing streamTranscoder's LameQu...

Vorbis 44.1khz stereo at quality 0.0 for me averages around 60kbps (would probably be higher if we didn't talk as much), and I think it's excellent. Not artifact free of course, but hey, it's 64kbps.
