All -- Does anyone have experience doing remote live broadcasts over Icecast? My thought is to use a Dell laptop running Windows (yeah, I know ;-), digitize locally to 16khz, and pump the output to a remote Linux box. Has anyone done something like this before? Thoughts? Issues?

Thoughts? Issues?At one event I was involved in the past (let it be nameless), one person brought a Starband dish along and streamed out the board feed to an ice cast server out on the net. And 16Kb/s was all we could get on the uplink.

Again, no problems reported, no streams dropped.we did a similar thing 2 years ago using an ISDN line (64k) on both ends. both computers (studio & remote) connected to the same dialin-ISP and the remote computer sent a live-stream (56kbit mono mp3) to the icecast-server in the studio. on the same machine run mpg123 connected to this stream, outputting it to the FM-emitter via the lineout of the soundcard. we did not have any dropouts. the broadcast lasted 4 hours. we also did it with normal modems at 24kbit mono mp3 using windows and the oddcast DSP (www.oddsock.org) at the remote site. I can't remember the exact settings, but I think we used 22kHz as our input sampling rate. you have to listen to it to judge which one is better (16kHz or 22kHz). one thing you have to consider is the significant delay (8 to 10 seconds) you get. if you listen to your FM-broadcast on the remote-site you can hear everything about 10 seconds later. which is sometimes funny. sometimes it's a problem. :-) hermann --- >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.

Issues?We (Student radio station in Glasgow, UK) took a feed from a DJ in Cambridge and re-broadcast it on FM for 2 hours with no probs. Cambridge end was simple cable modem, so we had a very steady 96k mono ogg stream with no dropouts/rebuffering problems. Source was winamp with oddcast plugin. Our end was Icecast2 running on Windows NT which was also serving another stream to about 4 listeners around the globe. We just pointed winamp at the mountpoint for the remote source and fed that into the main (external analogue) mixer. Worked very well, however it was 2am, and we do have nice fast network here at the university end. I would guess you could do it on a cellphone if you had the inclination (fancy running 2 phones shotgun?) but i've never tried it on a modem dialup. =) Oh - we did it once using shoutcast over single (64k) ISDN line - 24k mono mp3 stream going to Shoutcast, and we also had a webcam uploading an image every minute. Again, no problems reported, no streams dropped. Good luck =) Leo --- >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.
