Hi, does anybody know some info about posting metadata to ices2 via stdin? My system is based on a PHP-script wich sends PCM-data from the player (mpg123 or ogg123) over a pipe to ices2. As i understand the documentation, metadata is sent as normal clear text within the PCM-data when using stdin. I tried the following format: \n artist=foo\n title=bar\n (\n is, of course, a normal unix-linebreak) In this case, the metadata isn't updated. When i write exactly this to a file wich is called as metadata by ices2, it works. However, i don't like to use the file but would like to use stdin. ;) Any ideas?

Don't mix them in the same stream. karl. <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.

[icecast] ices2 + pid-file (was: ices2 + stdin + metadata)
Ok, so i have to know the PID of ices to send the update-signal. I've added this to my ices.xml: <pidfile>/home/www/bin/ices.pid</pidfile> (directly under the node <ices>) I thought i've seen this somewhere in the manual. However, when i start ices, no pid-file is created :-/ Is this the right way? <p>----- Original Message ----- From: "Karl Heyes" <karl@xiph.org> To: "icecast" <icecast@xiph.org> Sent: Tuesday, February 03, 2004 4:35 PM Subject: Re: [icecast] ices2 + stdin + metadata <p>> On Tue, 2004-02-03 at 15:05, Thomas Weber wrote:> > Hi, > > > > does anybody know some info about posting metadata to ices2 via stdin? > > My system is based on a PHP-script wich sends PCM-data from the player > > (mpg123 or ogg123) over a pipe to ices2.
