Icecast - Aug 2004 - Problems streaming Ogg Vorbis with icecast2+ices

Hello,

Perhaps it is a typical question but i've got stuck. I'm using
icecast2+ices
to stream some ogg vorbis files or voice_in_life (/dev/dsp) over the
network/internet.

All seems to work fine, for example using:

ogg123 http://127.0.0.1:8000/mount

works :). And:

ogg123 http://my_internet_ip:8000/mount

works too from another pc over internet and far away :).

Using mplayer works fine to.

But...

With xmms or any windows client (winamp3, freeamp, zinf, foobar2000,
videolan - vlc for windows, etc). Don't do nothing, nothing get out :(.

And my question is why??

I don't see any error in ices and looking at the logs of icecast2 I see
this:

[2003-09-19  22:22:49] DBUG connection/_handle_get_request Client connected
[2003-09-19  22:22:49] DBUG connection/_handle_get_request Source found for
client
[2003-09-19  22:22:49] DBUG source/source_main Client added
[2003-09-19  22:22:57] DBUG format/format_generic_write_buf_to_client Client
had recoverable error -1
[2003-09-19  22:22:59] DBUG source/source_main Client has fallen too far
behind, removing
[2003-09-19  22:22:59] DBUG source/source_main Client removed

Can one caritative soul help me ?

Thanks a lot!

Bibis

Hi:

Firstly, does your mountpoint end in .ogg?  Many multiformat players are
broken and use the extention to determine the stream type, rather than the
MIME type header sent out from the server.  So end your mount point in
.ogg.

And second, winamp 3 is broken as far as streaming vorbis is concerned.
It's also discontinued, so get the latest release of winamp 2.x

Geoff.

Thanks Geoff, 

Just when I pressed the buttond "Send" of my previous email I've
found in
icecast archives another thread talking about my problem. 

And yes, using the termination ".ogg" in my mount points all seems to
work
fine!

Thanks and sorry about the repeated question in the list.

Beavies.
