I'm rather new to this. I just set up Icecast and Ices using source from CVS downloaded yesterday (3-20-2003). The box is running RedHat 8.0 with all the required RPMs to compile. Here's my trouble: I have Ices running in live mode, with it connecting correctly to the Icecast server on port 8000 (which is only bound to 127.0.0.1). I'm using Winamp on the client end connecting to port 8001 (which is only bound to my outside IP). Winamp will connect, say it has completed prebuffering, and I see data moving, but there is no audio. If I include "savefile" in the Ices config, it will correctly write the file, which I can load into winamp and hear audio. If I try to listen to the "savefile" by connecting to the web portion of Icecast, it will occasionally work, but 8 out of 10 times, icecast will segfault. Any clues? I DO have audio going into the machine, and I only hit about 25% system utilization when both Icecast and Ices are running. There are no error message in either log about connection trouble between Icecast and Ices. Thanks for your help. We're trying to get this stuff to work to replace realaudio at all of our sites (since Real wants a pile of money to renew their licenses). -Morgan <p>Morgan Grammer Director of Engineering and Technology New Life Media / IBI Radio Ministries WIBI - WCIC - WCFL - WBGL - WTSG - WSCT - WBMV - WNLD - WCRT <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.

The segfault on icecast needs looking at though, can you give me details privately on that. karl. <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.

There's a hack in the vorbis plugin to treat it as vorbis if (and only if) the URL ends with ".ogg" - does yours? This sounds like what happens if you don't.> > If I try to listen to the "savefile" by connecting to the web portion of > Icecast, it will occasionally work, but 8 out of 10 times, icecast will > segfault.Eek. That should _never_ happen, can you give further details, including your icecast config file?

Mike / Karl - I've tried two different ways of setting up the "stream". In one URL, I named the file directly (http://foo.bar.org:8001/stream.ogg), and in the second, I made a stream.m3u file containing the afore mentioned http statement. Neither worked in Winamp. I had downloaded version 3 of WinAmp, so I uninstalled that, and went out and got the JOrbis (Java) player and the latest JRE from Sun. I also downloaded JlGui to see if either one of those would see the live stream. Neither did. I have yet (since I've written the first email) to segfault icecast again, however I have been able to make Ices lock up and ignore a -KILL or -HUP signal. This usually happens after I launch Ices once interactively rather than making it a background process. After I kill it to make a change, and then start it up again, it only partially starts and then hangs. A system reboot seems to fix the problem. I'll forward my config file to you privately along with the error log. Its not consistent, so I'm still trying to figure out exactly what causes the segfault. -Morgan <p>-----Original Message----- From: owner-icecast@xiph.org [mailto:owner-icecast@xiph.org] On Behalf Of Michael Smith Sent: Friday, March 21, 2003 6:21 PM To: icecast@xiph.org Subject: Re: [icecast] Trouble getting Ices/Icecast2 to stream On Saturday 22 March 2003 04:28, Morgan Grammer wrote:> I'm rather new to this.
