Hello, We're streaming radio programs at both 128kbsp and 32kbps, but only archiving the 128kbps stream to save storage space. I'd like to give users a similar choice of bitrates when they request an archived stream (served through icecast's /file/ functionality). Is there a way to change the bitrate on the fly, or do I really need to save archive both bitrates? Thanks for the advice. -samuel Samuel Hathaway System Administrator WRUR Broadcasting Corporation http://wrur.org/ <p>--- >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.

You'll have to archive in the other bitrates. Fortunately this doesn't waste as much space as you think. +30% maybe at one bitrate depending on the bitrate. 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.
