we used icecast2 for vorbis streaming 7days 24h for live streaming. we had problems with the stability. it crashed two times completly and I had to restart the icecast2 server often. sometimes it was not possible to receive the stream (player just waitung forever to receive some data), sometimes it was not possible to send the stream and sometimes no stream was send, but the old one was still in the stats.xml list (with 0 listeners). i had to restart the server several time. we used a dual-isdn connection which and later a wireless lan (thanks to ascii/amsterdam) connected to a adsl line (also 128k upstream). I had the impression that icecast2 has problems with bad network connections. --- >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.

There's a known bug in header pcoessing. If you give icecast certain types of bad headers, it falls down. This doesn't usually happen, and I have no idea why you're getting so many crashes. Certainly the other reports have it running quite stably. Is it compiled in debug mode? Can you send me a backtrace? jack.

Can you send me a backtrace?how do i compile it in debug mode? i have no backtrace only a logfile (access.log). --- >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.
