I recently upgraded ices from 0.1.0 to 0.2.2. I have found that it
is not reencoding my mp3 stream, even though I have it configured to.
This is on a RedHat linux 7.0 system, kernel 2.4.11
ices build commands:
./configure --with-perl --with-lame \
--with-lame-includes=/usr/local/src/lame-3.89/include \
--with-lame-libraries=/usr/local/src/lame-3.89/libmp3lame/.libs
gmake
gmake install

No, the lame command is used when I rip & encode my music for archival purposes, and isn't otherwise used at the time of streaming the mp3s. In the command above, the '-b 128' sets the minimum allowed bitrate for VBR encoding. Again, it has worked fine with ices 0.1.0, so I'm tempted to conclude that it's an ices problem and not a lame problem.

In short, these settings have been moved into the Stream node. For more info have a look at the sample ices.conf included with the distribution. -b --- >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.
