I posted a while back about having trouble with ices 0.2.2 being
able to re-encode VBR mp3s, and the response was that ices 0.2.2 did
not reencode VBR mp3s. Are there any plans to include such support
in future ices versions? If so, any ideas as to when such versions
would become available?
Thanks,

I don't know a technical reason why VBR would be excluded. jack. --- >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.

The problem is that your MP3s are encoded as VBR (which is incidentally why 0.1 crashes on you). 0.2.2 has a possibly ill-considered feature that avoids reencoding files if they are already at the same bitrate as the target bit rate. But it determines the bit rate by reading the first MP3 frame only, so it is easily fooled by VBR files. The next release, when I get a couple hours, will either revoke this feature, make it optional, and/or try to detect VBR files and unconditionally reencode those." -- "See, the curtain of the night Steve Chadsey Falling, down into your life <tyr@teiresias.net> Doom, is headed straight for you The night comes shining through" -- Iced Earth, "When the Night Falls" --- >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.
