Hi Karl, In my case, it was not really a idle connection because I connected the source and hit "play" right after but it disconnected the source at this exact moment... Anyway, it's now working... Just one question, what is the most reliable source encoder for Windows? I would like a program able to run at windows startup, that would encode a soundcard input (from turntables from example) and that never stops... I am satisfied with Winamp/Oddcast for the moment but I am just wondering if there are other encoders even more reliable. Thaaaaannnnnnkkk you for any suggestion, MAX -----Original Message----- From: owner-icecast@xiph.org [mailto:owner-icecast@xiph.org] On Behalf Of Karl Heyes Sent: Monday, December 08, 2003 5:18 PM To: icecast@xiph.org Subject: Re: [icecast] Problems connecting source On Mon, 2003-12-08 at 15:56, Macsym wrote:> Hi everybody, > > I have a little problem to connect my source to an Icecast2-beta2 server > running on RH9.

Not sure about firing it up at startup, but that's a Windows question.
