Icecast 2.0 and Ices 2.0 are both fairly usable now. I have set up a semi-permanent test stream for people to bang on at: http://i.cantcode.com:8888/ices.ogg Please report any problems you have. I say semi-permanent, because it will probably crash now and then, and I will be developing and putting up the new versions on a regular basis. If it stops working for more than an hour, somethings wrong. I'm also moving in two weeks, so it will probably cease to exist about that time. CLIENT ISSUES ----------------- ogg123 - mostly broken in regards to streaming. the "W: stream error" message (or whatever similar message) is normal. ogg123's streaming is likely to be rewritten at some point, definately before the next major vorbis release. xmms - works great. no known issues. BUT you need the at least the beta4 vorbis plugin (cvs if you can get it) AND (and this is extremely important) the CVS version of the mpg123 input plugin. Symptoms of not upgrading your mpg123 plugin include constant rebuffering. If you report this error without upgrading the mpg123 plugin, I will probably slap you :) freeamp - vakor has been working with the freeamp guys. You'll need whatever the latest version is, possibly the latest beta version. afaik, there are no known issues with freeamp streaming. winamp - the beta4 plugin includes streaming, but it's horribly bad, just like ogg123. The entire winamp plugin is scheduled for a rewrite, or at the very least a severe gutting. Winamp streaming _does_ work, but your mileage may vary. Ok guys, test away. The stream is a 128kbps vorbis stream. It's vbr, but shouldn't vary too much. And it should sound absolutely excellent :) All songs are encoded with beta4. jack. --- >8 ---- List archives: http://www.xiph.org/archives/ Ogg project homepage: http://www.xiph.org/ogg/ To unsubscribe from this list, send a message to 'vorbis-request@xiph.org' containing only the word 'unsubscribe' in the body.

Using beta4 and today's xmms CVS, i'm getting no sound - it buffers, then displays the title, but does not play anything.

After downloading the stream and playing, I can reproduce the error. Also ogg123 shows it. (Again it is not one of the OV_HOLE warnings, its a access violation). The error is not at a fixed position, so when replaying the stream, it is at a different position. I only tried 3 times and got crashs at position 600kB, 800kB and 1100kB. The media player filter was compiled with Visual C++ and the CVS sources from 1 hour ago and the ogg123 uses Beta 4 and was compiled with GCC 2.95.3 under Cygwin, so I don't think it is a runtime library error, because Cygwin doesn't use msvcrt.dll unlike Visual C++. I have uploaded the first 800 kB of the buggy stream to ftp://zorannt.sourceforge.net/pub/zorannt/Tmp The error occurs after libvorbisfile reads 4096 bytes from position 634880. 2. Win32 Vorbis SDK The Visual C++ debugger shows no symbols. The Win32 SDK builds the libraries vorbis, vorbisenc and vorbisfile all into the same directory and the debug symbols get overwritten by the next build, so if vorbisfile is the last build, the vc60.pdb contains only those symbols. You should consider using inline symbols and no pdb. I can make a patch for the dsw file, if you wish.

Hi there, From: Jack Moffitt <jack@icecast.org> I have set up a semi-permanent test stream for people to bang on at: http://i.cantcode.com:8888/ices.ogg Please report any problems you have. I could hear this stream by JOrbisPlayer. I am sorry to trouble you, but may I add some issues about JOrbisPlayer to following list?

If you have it, open following URL by the web browser, http://www.jcraft.com/jorbis/player/JOrbisPlayer.php?play=http://i.cantcode.com:8888/ices.ogg I have found that some messages like "Corrupt or missing data in bitstreams...." have been printed out on Java console.

Connected (finally!) at about 8:20 PST, streamed fine for about 2 minutes (some Ninja tune or something) or so (great quality BTW) at 130k/bps, titles and such came up fine, then the stream just stopped. FreeAmp then told me it dropped to 127k/bps, but no audio. I trie drestarting it, nothing. After restarting FreeAmp, I managed to get it going on the Beastie Boys at 131k/bps for about 2 minutes again. I'm using FreeAmp v2.10 Final on W2K. Quality of the stream is awesome compared to my MP3 station at 128k, or even some local 196k files! --- >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.

Have suceeded on not having the connection drop, but it seems to lose audio in the transition between songs. The title updates to the new song, but no audio. It now streams through an entire song, but audio dies and has to be restarted to get audio back. Other than that, awesome! :) --- >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.

Jack, Thanks for the test stream (*in addition to everything else!* ;) you wrote: winamp - the beta4 plugin includes streaming, but it's horribly bad, just like ogg123. The entire winamp plugin is scheduled for a rewrite, or at the very least a severe gutting. Winamp streaming _does_ work, but your mileage may vary. Well, FWIW, I just downloaded the winamp plugin from: http://vorbis.com/files/beta4/windows/winamp-vorbis-1.0beta4.zip and hit up on your stream. It pulled the title info (Bjork - New World) but then locks up.. no sounds at all and I have to kill winamp. (winamp v2.74). Then after starting winamp back up and connecting to my icecast server streaming regular ol' mp3 data i get "Server Error: 306 Grow up" at which point winamp continues to buffer and then will start playing the stream and the error msg goes away. Not sure what is going on here but it wasn't doing that til i added the latest vorbis winamp plugin. you wrote: "Please report any problems you have." well there ya go, Sorry to report non-success. :( thanks again, Todd ps - i'm still looking for any info on requirements for compiling icecast on win32 --- >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.

I had some trouble connecting where the buffer would fill but not all the way and in the middle of buffering xmms would start the buffer filling over again. Sometimes it would stop and show "CONNECTING" as the status. Sometimes "CONNECTED, waiting for reply." The larger I set the buffer for the mpg123 plug-in the more serious the problem.
