Here Here! - thankfully our plugin running ogg is pretty solid too - it's those other terrrible formats we have issues with ;) Bryan ----- Original Message ----- From: "oddsock" <oddsock@oddsock.org> To: <icecast@xiph.org> Sent: Monday, December 08, 2003 10:01 PM Subject: RE: [icecast] Problems connecting source <p>> At 05:29 PM 12/8/2003 +0100, you wrote:> > >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 would also like this feature in Oddcast if it's not already available.> Also, are there scripts available that start Winamp/Oddcast and connect to > the Icecast server at Windows startup?

Hi oddsock, I tested SAM2 in the past, but it's more a DJ software. I think Winamp/Oddcast is better for encoding. Anyway, I don't know where I get these problems from. I can connect to the server but when I start playing something, it disconnects instantly. It happens very often now, but it seems to happen only on one computer... It might be the Remote Desktop Protocol audio drivers that are influencing (I often connect remotely to this computer). Also, are there scripts available that start Winamp/Oddcast and connect to the Icecast server at Windows startup? With Windows' scheduled tasks, I can only start Winamp/Oddcast but I can't connect to the server automatically.
