I've been happily using liveice for a while to do this. I'm moving to ices because I don't need all the live DJ stuff, ices seems to use a lot less CPU, and the playlist management is infinitely better in ices, since that is what it was designed around. But liveice actually works pretty well for me, my reasons are frankly moral rather than practical :)> > I'm just making ices be able to reencode its playlist at multiple > > bitrates at the same time, so you can broadcast the same stream for > > broadband and POTS users. > > > > I've already got this working (and I've been listening to it for about > > an hour and a half so far), but I'm not going to commit it until I've > > inspected what my fingers have managed to code up. > > I hope you come up with a better configuration inteface than liveice > uses for this... nobody ever understood itwhat did they not understand? It seemed pretty straightforward to me, so I'm not likely to know how to improve it :) Ices configuration is in xml, I've just made it that you can have multiple <ices:Stream> sections. -Brendan --- >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 always thought that the liveice config file format for 'multistreaming' was pretty nifty. I liked the way secondary streams automatically inherited all shared variables from the parent stream - all you had to define were the ones that were different. Can't think of a less cumbersome way of doing it. --- Bill Goldsmith www.radioparadise.com www.kpig.com --- >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.
