I am running Icecast2 and Ices2 on Redhat Linux 9. I have two ices running with two different config. sending to Icecast and the cpu load for each is around 7.0. The playlist contains 64kbps ogg files and output is set to 32kpps. How can I reduce the cpu load? -- ___________________________________________________________ Sign-up for Ads Free at Mail.com http://promo.mail.com/adsfreejump.htm --- >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.

How can I reduce the cpu load?Reencoding is a cpu-intensive thing to do. If you want low cpu load, don't do it - pre-encode your files to the desired bitrate Mike --- >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.

Hi: YOu may be able to do this more economically if you use quality modes instead of managed bitrates, assuming this is what you're doing. A load of 7.0 sounds extremely high though, perhaps send us your configs?
