Icecast - Aug 2004 - CPU Utilization Weirdness

Will give it a try, although if this works, kinda defeats the purpose :)

Brendan, do you know why updating the directory causes this kind of problem?

No, I've just heard stories that this thread can cause problems
(probably when there's a lot of latency to the directory server, or it's
down). I don't expect to have any time to read the code for a while
either - I'm afraid I've been mostly useless for icecast for a few
months now...

Well, I commented out the directory's and things have been up and working
now for over 12 hours with no issues except one - on my home network, I can
successfully connect different mount points from different PC's with either
winamp or xmms, from work, I can only seem to get whatever the default
stream is.  Logs are clean showing no errors (which is a welcome change)

I am streaming mp3s at VBR with a min of 128 and as high as 160. I have also
turned on meta_data, which is working perfectly on winamp, although XMMS
seems to flip flop with this.

Thanks everyone.
