Here's a stupid question: Do icecast/ices 2 ONLY support vorbis, or can they still handle mp3s? I am not ready to stream only vorbis yet, since I don't know how many people are equipped to hear them. If icecast/ices 2 don't support mp3, then I have some hacking to do on ices 1 (namely, I want to play the same stream at two bitrates concurrently), but if icecast/ices 2 do, then I'll check them out and devote any hacking I may have to do to them. Thanks in advance for the stupid answer :) -Brendan --- >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-request@xiph.org' containing only the word 'unsubscribe' in the body.

If anyone wants to implement it, I'll be happy enough to add it, but I don't intend to write such support myself.

After taking a quick look at ices2 I decided it would probably be a lot easier to hack ices1 to do multiple streams from the same playlist. I've got it working except for metadata updates (and I commented out the lame reset code between songs to see if that was still necessary, and it is :) - I'll post a patch probably later today after I've fixed those two things and gone over it a bit. I haven't read the libshout spec too much, but apparently it's safe to call shout_sleep (conn) for multiple connections in the same thread? That's what I'm doing atm, seems to work. BTW ices in CVS needs quite a lot of Makefile.am/configure.in massaging to compile - and the thread library doesn't compile out of the box either, due to some function renaming issues. Looks like these two were just abandoned in the middle of a reorg...

There are hooks for icecast2 to support mp3, and I plan to implement this soon. michael will have to answer regarding ices2, but I suspect mp3 is not going to get in there unless someone else submits a beautiful patch. jack. --- >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-request@xiph.org' containing only the word 'unsubscribe' in the body.
