There seems to be a long delay from wen I speak into the mic on a broadcast
server and when I hear the speaking on the users end. Can anyone explain this?
I am using the latest versions of ices and icecast. Ices is on a different
server that icecast and at another location.
Thanks

> There seems to be a long delay...most of the delay usually is caused by the clients buffer. try to reduce this buffer's size.

thanks for responding. I have noticed a delay of up to 50 seconds!!!! <p>Arc Riley <arc@xiph.org> wrote: On Tue, May 25, 2004 at 08:53:56AM -0700, sdgesa gaeharth wrote:> > There seems to be a long delay from wen I speak into the mic on a > broadcast server and when I hear the speaking on the users end.

First, ices needs to delay (buffer) so that it can encode the information and get it out. Next there's delay in getting it to the Icecast server, albiet not very much, then there's a small delay in the Icecast server itself, then there's delay getting it to the listener, and finally their local media player will delay playing for a prebuffer. Most broadcasts I've done have been around 5-6 seconds delayed. Online radio is designed to be stable and consistant, but not low latency. You can improve some of these areas, BTW, but there's still going to be a few seconds of delay. You just can't avoid it. --- >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.

This is generally not a problem. Can I ask why you care? :) 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.

The source client (ices) and the listening client (whatever that might be - most of them do extensive buffering) generally add a lot of latency, however.
