Hi:

Well, up until about a week ago, we had our stream up and running on 3
seperate mountpoints and it was rock solid.  then we started hitting
problems with disconnects and the like.  I recompiled everything this
morning and set it running again.   But one mount has died already.

We have 3 streams running.  the first is the ogg files as they were encoded
(egoplay.ogg).  the second is a re-encode to 44.1khz stereo at quality 0
(egoplay64.ogg).  and the third is a downmix and resample to 22.05khz mono
at quality -1 (egoplay24.ogg).  It's this latter one that's died.

by using the "current song" information from the stats page, I was
able to
find the log entries around the time it died.  Here's what the ices logfile
shows:

[2002-10-09  01:00:24] INFO playlist-builtin/playlist_read Currently

with VBR: 2 channel(s), 44100 Hz, quality 0.000000

Shortly after in the icecast2 error log, we see:

[2002-10-09  01:01:50] WARN source/source_main Disconnecting source: socket
timeout (10 s) expired
[2002-10-09  01:01:50] INFO source/source_main Removing source following
disconnection
[2002-10-09  01:01:50] DBUG source/source_main Source exiting

There's also 1 entry in the access log:

129.100.249.144 - - [09/Oct/2002:01:01:50 -0400] "SOURCE /egoplay24.ogg
HTTP/1.0" 200 149191191 "-" "IceS 2.0beta2" 51847

there is no evidence of this in the ices log except for the fact that after
this point, the messages regarding the downmixing and resampling for the
low bitrate stream stop appearing.

wish I could give you more info. but I've got logging set as high as it
will go and that's all I have.  all 3 mounts are on the same server, so
it's not a network thing or they'dve all have gone down.

I'll report again if either of the other two mounts die.

Geoff.
