Hmmm, I am using Winamp for my client, will upgrade it, but it works for other shoutcast/icecast streams. There has to be something buggered up in my config somewhere. It sounds as if Ices is sending data too quickly to icecast(?), will blow it away and re-complie it and see what happens. Thanks for the help so far. yeah, essentialmix.ca is directly related to the Essential mix broadcasts off Radio1, I am running an FTP server with all the 2001, most of 2000 and some 1999 essential mixes. I am tired of trying to find them online, so I figured I would setup a site :) The idea with the icecast was to continuously stream all the mixes that are on the ftp site. -Russ On Sun, 5 Aug 2001, Jack Moffitt wrote:> > Almost always this means that data is being sent to fast.

Worth a try. Check you buffer settings in winamp as well and see if those give you any ideas. I'm wondering if lame could be the culprit. Can you try broadcasting without reencoding?> yeah, essentialmix.ca is directly related to the Essential mix broadcasts > off Radio1, I am running an FTP server with all the 2001, most of > 2000 and some 1999 essential mixes.

[icecast] Error: Client not receiving data fast enough

Put an MP3 of a certain length into a playlist, fire up ices and see if it takes that amount of time for ices to play the track. If ices plays a 3-minute track in 90 seconds, ices is the culprit. It's also possible you aren't actually reencoding. You may be advertising your stream as 128kbit but sending at 256 or something. Which version of ices are you using? Also set Verbose to 1 in ices.conf and watch the logs... -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.

Actually, I have seen this problem quite a bit as you all will remember. It isn't ices (I don't think) rather it seems to be something wrong in icecast. More specifically with the yp server section of code. The more yp directories you have listed the higher the chance of getting the not streaming fast enough error. I have trimmed all my directory servers back to just yp.icecast.org and for the most part the problem has vanished. Now there is one odd caveat, last week at some point our internal network was disconnected from the outside world. I could still stream internally. I had removed all of the yp directory server entries so icecast shouldn't have been trying to leave the internal network. I could not stay connected for more than 50-80 seconds. The error was always the same not streaming fast enough error but obviously it has nothing to do with the client at all. So as far as that goes it is a very misleading error message and probably one of the reasons we haven't been able to hunt it down. So there is some food for thought. Jack Brendan got any ideas? I've been taking the long term approach to hunting this one down. I have set the debug level up to four but the problem code seems to sneak between the debug code bits.
