[icecast] Winamp3 (was solved: building icecast2 on OpenBSD)
While I agree Winamp 3 has some serious problems, I just wanted to throw out a couple observations that I made about it recently. Running Icecast2/IceS from CVS about two months ago streamed perfectly to the public release of Winamp3 (build #488). I ran it for several weeks with absolutely no problems. Updated Icecast2 and IceS from CVS a week or so ago and it didn't work at all (constant prebuffering). Found this thread on the Winamp3 forums: http://forums.winamp.com/showthread.php?s=efa97392c58637fddf0bdbaf09bbd9f0&t hreadid=125418&highlight=icecast which suggests a newer build (#495) which has fixed the problem for me: http://download.nullsoft.com/winamp/client/wa3install_build495.exe Only issue is that you HAVE to uninstall the previous version of Winamp3 before installing this build or it behaves really poorly. So, at least there is a fix available for this specific problem and they are making progress in the right direction.

Icecast2 compiles on OpenBSD 3.2 with the steps outlined by Moritz (thanks for that). I'm running into problems streaming ogg files from the fileserve directory, although serving mp3 files from the same directory happens without a hitch...again, both work fine on a Debian system. I'll try building the ogg and vorbis libraries from source to see if that fixes anything (they are currently from packages). from the logfiles: (access.log) 10.10.20.11 - - [26/Mar/2003:16:30:57 -0800] "GET /test.ogg HTTP/1.0" 200 2815404 "-" "Nullsoft Winamp3 version 3.0c build 488" 1 10.10.20.11 - - [26/Mar/2003:16:33:23 -0800] "GET /test.mp3 HTTP/1.0" 200 860205 "-" "Nullsoft Winamp3 version 3.0c build 488" 33 (error.log - same for both files) [2003-03-26 16:31:15] DBUG connection/_handle_get_request Client connected Quoting gtgbr@gmx> 8.

don't use Winamp 3. it doesn't work with ogg. try Winamp 2.8 instead or even better Foobar2000. boink On Wed, Mar 26, 2003 at 04:38:34PM -0800, jeff@unsealed.net wrote:> Icecast2 compiles on OpenBSD 3.2 with the steps outlined by Moritz (thanks for > that).
