Hi, I have a few problems with Winamp 2.8. (I can't use or recommend Winamp3 because of all the various problems I've had with it. It seems that Ogg streaming is broken on ports other than port 80. However, streaming in general seems not to work correctly. If I point the winamp client at an icecast or gnump3d server, it locates the file or stream fine, buffers a bit, and starts playing... but then it plays out the buffer without refilling it as it's playing, so it has to pause, fill the buffer again, play the buffer, pause, etc. (Does that make sense?) So the winamp client suffers from interruptions constantly. xmms and Sonique latest versions work fine against the same servers. Also, Winamp seems to play the stream too fast, actually at about 2x the normal speed. Is this a known problem? Any fixes for anything mentioned here? I would appreciate it. Tired of everyone having Winamp and not being able to listen in to our stuff...

Is this a known problem?New one on me. Got a URL for the stream so we can all check it out?

Got a URL for the stream so we can all check it out?Here is the live stream: http://aurora.icequake.net:8000/live (it will probably be silent, but you can connect and see the symptom regardless) Also, if you go to http://aurora.icequake.net:8888 and select any ogg files from there, they stream incorrectly in winamp. (same halt/buffer/restart) Thanks! <p> -- Ryan Underwood, <nemesis at icequake.net>, icq=10317253 --- >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.
