Hello,
I'm not sure where to start troubleshooting this issue. I just got my first
stream going with help from various web sites. I'm running a 400 mhz p2 with
192 mb of ram, it's a redhat9 box and all the compiles/installs went
perfectly with a few warnings, noted below. I'm running, all of this via
cvs, ices2, icecast2, libshout, and probably more that i am forgetting. The
server is responding on port 8000 and i got ices to connect. After i
converted some mp3's to ogg files, made a playlist, and pointed the streamer
configuration file right at it, it started playing. I'm on a 100 megabitt
network, with a switch also 100 megabitt. I'm connecting from a win2k
machine, using winamp 2.80, i open the location:
http://servername.domain:8000/example1.ogg
wait a few seconds and i get output. Then after about twenty seconds or so
of broadcasting, it pauses for about 5 or so seconds, then resumes. Any
suggestions on this issue?
Thanks.
Dave.
