After that, they have to reconnect.... -- Ståle Lorentzen <p><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.

After that, they have to reconnect....Why don't we start by trying to track down the bug which is the root of the problem? :) I don't really see how this is possible though. The clients are able to 'get behind' but at a certain point if they are really disconnected, they can't receive any data (even if they never tell us they are disconnected, say if the power cord got ripped out of the wayy), so when a client got behind past the threshhold (this was 10-15 'blocks' iirc) then icecast automatically removed them, since they weren't fast enough to keep up. This sounds like a failure in the fallback logic somewhere. Do you have fallback turned on? jack. --- >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.

Obviously the user is too popular... karl. --- >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.
