[icecast] Need a cool streamer for icecast

(With some effort it should even support changing tags while using the dsp-input) If you want to do everything using PCs you maybe want to check out Oddsock's plug-ins for Winamp, XMMS, foobar, etc. (clicky here: www.oddsock.org) This will enable you to stream directly from your favourite(tm) player including automatic tag support. Fancy mixing etc will be something to be done by this application. AFAIK such plug-ins for most of the mentioned players are available.

Hello, I'm not sure where to start troubleshooting this issue. I just got my first stream going with help from various web sites. I'm running a 400 mhz p2 with 192 mb of ram, it's a redhat9 box and all the compiles/installs went perfectly with a few warnings, noted below. I'm running, all of this via cvs, ices2, icecast2, libshout, and probably more that i am forgetting. The server is responding on port 8000 and i got ices to connect. After i converted some mp3's to ogg files, made a playlist, and pointed the streamer configuration file right at it, it started playing. I'm on a 100 megabitt network, with a switch also 100 megabitt. I'm connecting from a win2k machine, using winamp 2.80, i open the location: http://servername.domain:8000/example1.ogg wait a few seconds and i get output. Then after about twenty seconds or so of broadcasting, it pauses for about 5 or so seconds, then resumes. Any suggestions on this issue? Thanks. Dave. --- >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.
