Just wanted to let everyone know that I've released a new streaming utility called (appropriately enough) ezstream. ezstream will read in mp3/vorbis files and send them (without reencoding) to an icecast2 server. It can also take in input from stdin. We used to have a utility like this (called shout) but shout had horrible timing issues and didn't work well at all. This version uses the latest libshout2, and also (due to it's simple nature) works as a command line utility under both unix and windows. I wrote it to give people a nice easy utility for creating mounts that can be used as fallbacks (ezstream can be used to send a loop stream of a single mp3 or vorbis file which can be used as a fallback mountpoint)...and since it doesn't do reencoding it can be run on the server without much CPU time requirements. hopefully you'll find it to be useful. and you may be asking yourself.."Doesn't ices do this ?"..well yes, but ices doesn't read mp3s and has very little hope in being ported to win32. :) try it here : http://www.icecast.org/files/ezstream-0.1.0.tar.gz oddsock <p>--- >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 for your work on this oddsock. It's a major feature that's been missing from the Win32 environment. I presume you will be offering a Win32 binary on your site at some stage.

Hi Oddsock, Great news! Looks good! Could you please give an example of using it with stdin under linux ? For example, how could I pipe an MP3 stream from a live encoder into ezstream with stdin?
