(I tried to figure out how to do this, but realize the futility after both ices and MuSE were released.) * It's independant to the source. That way if you decide that you don't like Liveice (granted it's a good piece of software, but it's showing its age) you don't have to figure out how to save the file in the other streamer (let it be darkice, MuSE, ices, etc) This behaviour by liveice is extremely annoying, expecially when the CRTC (The Canadian FCC) demands that you must have records of your broadcasts and someone resets the computer and restarts liveice without knowing this. BTW: Will ices support live streaming for vorbis? Or are there other live streaming sources out there (like MuSE, which I like, but haven't gotten a chance to really stress-test yet.) -- ------------------------------------------------ Joe Bowser - bowserj@unbc.ca Student Director Education Alternative Radio Society ----------------------------------------------- http://web.unbc.ca/~bowserj/ --- >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.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 david, thanks for that great patch! :) would it be possible to include that feature into liveice (cvs at least), since it works really great and doesnt hurt anyone? also thanks for the other suggestions. where is ices2? is it stable enough for live streaming? regards, br1> -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- > Von: owner-icecast@xiph.org [mailto:owner-icecast@xiph.org]Im > Auftrag von David Parker > Gesendet: Montag, 16.

I too had to deal with this problem for our college radio station (http://www.grinnell/edu/groups/kdic -- currently off air) and rather than patching the source, I used a little script which I called using cron jobs to connect to the source using wget. Wget won't clobber old files, so if you don't care about the names, you don't even need the script. Plus, using wget you can move the archiving to a separate computer if you choose. josh On Mon, 16 Jul 2001, Joe Bowser wrote:> On Mon, 16 Jul 2001, Bruno Randolf wrote: > > > does anyone have patch for liveice that the saved files (SAVE_FILE > > directive in the config file) don't get overwritten if liveice is > > stopped and started? i think about something like adding the current > > date and time to the filename... > > > > or ist there some other solution concerning dump (or save) files? > > Well, I like the dumpfile solution myself, because: > * It's simple.

Hi Bruno,> or ist there some other solution concerning dump (or save) files?I wrote a patch that might be useful to you. It doesn't do exactly what you described, but maybe it'll work anyway. It lets you tell liveice to close and reopen its savefiles while it's running. You can also start/stop save_file archiving entirely: http://www.brentwoodradio.com/info/vibecast/patches/liveice_vibecast_archiving .diff (probably wrapped) To stop liveice's save files, run 'killall -USR1 liveice'. Only the liveice processes that are actually archiving will respond to this. To close and reopen the save file, 'killall -USR2 liveice'. This will also start the save file if it wasn't already archiving. Using this, you can have a script or cron job that renames the current SAVE_FILE mp3 to a customized dated filename, then tells liveice to reopen the save file, which will continue archiving to the default filename. If you want to make sure that the save file isn't overwritten when you start liveice, just rename the liveice binary to something else (liveice-real) and make a small shell script or perl wrapper called liveice that checks for the file then runs liveice-real.
