( icecast2 only handles .MP3 for fileserving , as far as i know ..) note : : if you are only broadcast from time-to-time , and have a closed listener base , you MAY want icecast for its web interface , ALSO , if you are using winamp dsp plugins to stream _ then you would not be having the problems i did w/ the linux/icecast1.x re-encoders ,. as well , others on this list may have had better luck w/ these packages , there's certainly help out there if you cho0se this path ! i suggest icecast2/ices2 for a full automated , web/script-controlled operation . and perhaps icecast 1.x for less formal configurations . and let me know if you neEd any scripts .. i even made one to generate the proper .m3u files on my web server so that every listen request gets a custom .m3u file auto-loaded ! it's been working VERY well .. a:/, --- >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.

AJB I am still using 1.3.12 for our production stuff. http://radio.ksl.com/index.php?nid=2 I have no problems and am using MuSE for the streaming portion. I used to use liveice, but have had better luck with MuSE. Though I still have liveice installed for backup purposes. If you want to stream Ogg Vorbis, then use the latest CVS stuff. Otherwise use icecast1 for MP3 streams. I am sure that if you have any questions about the two, someone on this list can help as well.

Hi wow for a person just starting this is all exciting - do people here think its better to install icecast2 if it's as stable as you say and start to learn on this and not bother with 1.xxx All we want to do is live broadcast ( icecast on red hat box but we use winamp to get the data too this ) AJB -----Original Message----- From: owner-icecast@xiph.org [mailto:owner-icecast@xiph.org]On Behalf Of Manuel Lora Sent: 11 January 2003 19:57 PM To: icecast@xiph.org Subject: Re: [icecast] icecast 1.3 or 2 ??? <p>KJ, Would you like to help Mike document ices2 and icecast2? We can use help in that department. Specifically, documenting every feature available, and what and how combinations of settings work, as well as keeping track of what's being implemented in CVS as it happens. We're working toward an update of the icecast page and documentation will be a part of that.
