i have installed ices with lame suport (thanks to all who helped!), and it happily reencodes bitrates. i have installed otto, and that too is brillient however i can't get otto to call ices in such a way that it will reencode stuff streamed thru otto... when i have had ices working with reencoding, i've configured it via the xml config file rather than with command line switches i've edited ottojockeyd to add the -H switch into the system call of ices: system $icesexe, # "-B", # this flag makes the ices process detach and go into background (async) mode "-H 96", "-s", "-S", "builtin", "-h", $icecasthost, "-p", $icecastport, "-P", $icecastpass, # "-b", $kbps, "-n", $name, # "-g", "Various Specific", # "-d", $name, "-u", $url, "-m", $icecastmountpoint, "-F", $playlist; then killed and restarted jockeyd and all running ices processes px ax shows that the -H 96 switch is correctly applied when new instances start up, but i'm still getting streams at the original bitrate...is there something about how otto calls ices and or the other switches its applying that is stopping reencoding from working? thnx --- >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.
