Hi all, 1stly Thanks to all concerned with Icecast /ices is just the best blah blah praise love... I know you already know you have a amazing products.. I am attempting to get a simultaneous stream to X clients. What I require is that all clients play the exact same segment (same ms) at the same time. I'm using the combo of icecast2 (from cvs Icecast2 alpha 1.) ices-0.3 (from ices-0.3.tar.gz) and winamp3. Currently when I attempt this the winamp clients keep falling in and out of sync (tested on local LAN with 2 clients). In fact another problem is that all streams continuous pause approximately every 10 seconds. I know there are many factors to consider and also that the quality of service may not be guarantee over the Internet. However I'm really like to know if anyone has accomplished this and how. Any comments would be happily accepted thank you all in advance.

Reading Mike's reply in the latter thread it seems that the ogg streaming protocol has built in time stamping. Now I'm nowhere near an expert but why would this be hard to implement a server / client solution. Why would the player side be difficult? What are the factors? Does that mean that you haven't worked out a work around Todd? <p>>> >>-----Original Message----- >>From: owner-icecast@xiph.org [mailto:owner-icecast@xiph.org] >>On Behalf Of Mr I >>Sent: Tuesday, August 05, 2003 6:13 AM >>To: icecast@xiph.org >>Subject: [icecast] Stream sycronisation and player skipping >> >> >>Hi all, >>1stly >>Thanks to all concerned with Icecast /ices is just the best blah blah >>praise love...

Good Luck. As mentioned before, this would be cool but not as simple, even in theory, as it sounds.
