Hello folks I'm having trouble playing ogg streams with WinAmp3. I run Icecast2 & Ices2 (both compiled from CVS about two weeks ago) on a Linux box, the files being streamed were encoded with oggenc (from oggutils1.0, managed 80kbitrate...) The problem is that WinAmp3 won't actually play the .ogg stream. When I give it the URL (http://myserver:8000/mount.ogg) it says "connecting" then "prebuffering done" and finally it'll display the mountpoint filename plus the correct bitrate info -- but no audio! WinAmp3 plays the same ogg files fine from a local hard drive. Also, I tried Zinf for Windows, it can play the stream correctly -- but stops after each song, leaving lines like "DBUG source/source_main Client had recoverable error 11" accompanied by a "DBUG source/source_main Client had recoverable error 11" in the icecast error log. The only players I've managed to get to work perfectly with the stream were ogg123 and XMMS on Linux. But I need a player for Windows, so this is kinda bugging me. Does anyone have a clue how to get WinAmp3 to work --- or should it work out-of-the-box without the hassle I've got myself into? What've I missed? ;-) Thanks in advance! I'm eagerly waiting for the full docs on ice(s)/cast2 :-P <p>--- >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.

Probably best to ask around on the Winamp forums..

I do know that Winamp 2 works perfectly (make sure you get at least the standard or full versions - lite is missing the ogg input) Also, check out http://www.freedomaudio.com for a java based player that now works perfectly with chained ogg streams (thanks to Kendal!:) - it's a pretty groovy skinnable applet thingy.

I don't know if anyone has reported this bug to the winamp people, though. You can use winamp 2.8, anyway - it's much nicer to use, AND works better.
