Hello list, With icecast2 is it possible at all to move clients from a ogg mount to a mp3 mount and vise versa? Looking at the error log after I use the admin interface to do this I get an error stating that the are different encoding types, and as such will not do the move. I am not concerned about client issues at this point as I think I can solve them my self. Any ideas? Cheers, Warren.

I was hoping to offer source clients with a choice of mp3 or ogg as the push streaming format. I reencode on the fly between the source client and the listeners so a change in the source format the clients still would receive a consistent ogg stream. I also do not pass on the meta data so that would not be an issue. Thanks for your feedback. Cheers, Warren.
