Hello, I have both MP3 and OGG in my hard drive, since I used to use MP3 encoding and now I'm trying to move to OGG vorbis. I am wondering if there's a way to stream a playlist containing both MP3 and OGG files. As far as I understand from reading the doc, Ices-0.4 and Ices2 can only stream MP3 and OGG files respectively. So I just installed both. But is there a trick or something that would enable me to play a playlist containing two different file format? Thanks for any help. RDB -- Reuben D. Budiardja Dept.

If your stream format is in OGG you could use a player to play the playlist and capture from the DSP. If you want the stream in MP3 you might want to try liveice for the DSP capture. If you mean to stream both MP3 and OGG in the same stream I don't think icecast will do that, nor any clients play it. Stephen -- LiveIce Project http://liveice.sourceforge.net/

However, ices 0.x can manage a playlist containing a mix of MP3 and Ogg files by transcoding the Ogg files to MP3 on the fly (as of ices 0.4 it can do the same for FLAC and AAC).
Hi: Ices 0.4 can read both Ogg and MP3 and output MP3, but Ices 2 only accepts Ogg input. You could get around this by using an external app to play, either to stdin or captured from the soundcard. Geoff. ;
Current SVN ezStream also now supports a reencoding mode (done via external programs) and supports a mixed playlist (MP3/Vorbis/FLAC/any format you can find a decoder for) and will encode to any format icecast will accept. A sample config is provided for doing this type of reencoding. Note that the current implementation is busted under windows, but works very nicely under unix. oddsock At 12:07 PM 9/20/2004, you wrote:>Hi: > >Ices 0.4 can read both Ogg and MP3 and output MP3, but Ices 2 only accepts >Ogg input.
