hi folks, after some adventures for setup an icecast server , the system is now running, but there where some questions open: 1. ) i use ices as streamer for the server. in some cases (i dont know why) is ices break after an while of streaming. ices re-encode the mp3 files with lame 3.88 to stream them. there is no hint why the stream is broken in the log files. after an restart of ices all looks good. The time for the next break is randomly, i.e. after 40 titles or more. is there an hint why the stream breaks ? 2.) we use the server in our lan , with no public access and no publishing to yp.icecast.org ! what can i do to make my own directory server in the lan ? 3.) the hardware of my server is a pIII-450 with 2xgb hd , 128MB ram and an 100MB ethernet nic(possible a good system). If i want to start more than 3 streams , all streams are running not continously. many dropouts and squelches while playing. is there an config problem nor is the hardware too small ? the stream running with 128kbs/44khz. ive tested with 64kps/22khz and 32kps/22khz and there is no better run of the server..... if there is an need for my config-files i will post them ... hope for some answers .... thx nils from germany --- >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.

Which is obviously not a good thing. If this is the case, then you should get the errors as soon as you start the second stream. You can also check by pointing your web browser at <A HREF="http://<yourserver">http://<yourserver</A>>:8000/list.cgi and see what mount points you have registered. thomas <-*- -*-> Xander : "We kind of have a romantic evening planned."

I have tried winamp versions 2.71, 2.65, 2.09. I dont think that problem is in Winamp. As to where the problem lies, i can only comment that it may actually be in Ices. Who knows. My opinion is just that, an opinion. Alas.. ja. --- >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 , my guess is you connect all of the clients to the same mount point, causing icecast to interleave the data. Which is obviously not a good thing. If this is the case, then you should get the errors as soon as you start the second stream. i start any stream via sh-skript like : ./ices -B -d Radiocity -F /music/playlists/alternative.pls -m /alternative -g Alternative -h localhost -n Alternative -p 8001 -P <password> -r -R -b 128 -s 0 >/dev/null ./ices -B -d Radiocity -F /music/playlists/dance.pls -m /dance -g Dance -h localhost -n Dance -p 8001 -P <password> -r -R -b 128 -s 0 >/dev/null .... is this correct ? at this moment i will try another lame , 3.87 You can also check by pointing your web browser at <A HREF="http://<yourserver">http://<yourserver</A>>:8000/list.cgi and see what mount points you have registered. it shows correctly all the mountpoints given by the "-m" parameter above thx thomas <-*- -*-> Xander : "We kind of have a romantic evening planned."
