Hi all!
I installed icecast & ices (from CVS)
Enerything runs, but with some problems:
When I connect to the server (with XMMS or MPlayer)
the buffer runs empty very quickly, causing interruptions.
My "server" is an old Pentium 120 with 64MB RAM ,a HD of 8G and an
ethernet NIC.
(I know it isn't much, but I'm tired of taking my CD collection to
work.) I ripped the tracks in OGG format at 56kbps 22050 Hz Samplerate.
my partial ices config:
<encode>
<nominal-bitrate>56000</nominal-bitrate>
<!-- bps. e.g. 64000 for 64 kbps -->
<!-- samplerate>22050</samplerate -->
<channels>2</channels>
</encode>
this is my CPU-load on the server:
21:05:19 up 1 day, 23:00, 2 users, load average: 1.07, 0.78, 0.60
47 processes: 45 sleeping, 2 running, 0 zombie, 0 stopped
CPU states: 97.1% user, 2.9% system, 0.0% nice, 0.0% idle
Mem: 62348K total, 55912K used, 6436K free, 17900K buffers
Swap: 124988K total, 0K used, 124988K free, 20208K cached
PID USER PRI NI SIZE RSS SHARE STAT %CPU %MEM TIME COMMAND
1668 root 13 0 6096 6096 1180 R 95.4 9.7 6:00 ices

1669 icecast 0 0 1864 1864 1320 S 0.3 2.9 0:00 icecast
Some hints?
Thanx a lot!
Wim

You could try a quality-based mode, or (since your audio is already 56 kbps), you could try NOT re-encoding it.

Hi, Thanx, switching re-encoding off, helped me a lot... <p><p><p>On Wed, 2003-09-03 at 04:21, Michael Smith wrote: <*SNIP*>> You could try a quality-based mode, or (since your audio is already 56 kbps), > you could try NOT re-encoding it. > > 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.

Sometimes I'm confused with ices and icecast tags, and I don't know if both uses the same tags, or not. thanks. pau. <p>--- >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.
