(its been a few months now of c0ding ! ) anyh0w; my main objective here is to provide is a mp3 stream-transcoded mount that mirrors the live or rebroadcast schedule (in ogg format ) . ALSO, i'm preparing a request channel that will effectively allow users to listen to ogg archives in mp3 (if they so desire ) . it is a way to avoid disappointment if they don't know how to get the media player working , and once they've logged in -- i'll add all the info as to why to switch to ogg and be demp3'd. but all this has to be behind the scenes so its one click to listen . . easy. also, i have been using flash for a header (if they support it ) . and i would love to be able to have my own flash media player embeded in the site . . this would make an outoftheb0x icecast radio station/ site that would work on macs and so on ., (macs support flash don't they ? either way, the will support the mp3 streams ) o please , if you are able to get this hot topic active for 2.o !!! please do ! thanks from canada, eh ! :) 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.

Hi Assorgia, Thanks for the flash animation. I think Icecast1 might be the solution. I am just a little bit scared by the message "Note that icecast 1 is deprecated and unsupported, and may possibly induce nausea in small children, hair loss in men, and estrogen fluctuations in women" that appears on the download page. I have a nice blond hair of "Principe Azzuro" that I don't want to lose! Just kidding. Anyway, I am trying a little more with Icecast2 but if it turns impossible (what I don't believe for the moment), I would switch to Icecast1. I listened to the volleyball stream yesterday; the quality was very nice and I did not imagine it was only 16Ko! By the way, what version of Icecast1 are you running and on what OS? What is your flash version 5, 6 or 7? Thanks for everything, MAX _____ From: owner-icecast@xiph.org [mailto:owner-icecast@xiph.org] On Behalf Of assorgia@tin.it Sent: Monday, December 01, 2003 6:57 PM To: icecast@xiph.org Subject: RE: [icecast] Icecast in Macromedia Flash Here's my experience: 1- loading sounds from other domains does not infringe the Flash security policy. Loading other movies or variables or even XML files does, but this is not our case. 2- As a fact flash does not undertand every "bit rate/sample rate" combination. I cant' find the page where I got this information by now, but I've spent some time before finding the right sample rate. Now i'm working with 16 kbps 22.050 Khz and it sounds good. 3- MOST IMPORTANT It all works fine with icecast 1.3, even in embedded mode. Problems arise with icecast 2.0. Something MUST have changed in the way icecast broadcasts audio streams between the two versions. ---> http://www.sardegnaoggi.it/downloads/myplayer.zip <---- Here you can download a little player (4Kb) embedded on a web page. You can use it to listen to KSL radio (hope Kerry doesn't mind) which is running an icecast 1.3 server. Please note that, when run in stand-alone mode, flash can't return the amount of downloaded bytes, even if the stream plays well. Maybe this is an hint on what's going wrong, but not for me. Have fun. --- >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.

Thanks Assorgia, I'll keep you aware of any successful result with Icecast2!
