We are serving the mp3s with .nsv endings since that is what the oddcast plugin seems to send by default when mp3 is used and no mount point specified (it then sends with "live.nsv" if I remember this correctly). Should Winamp be able to handle .nsv or should I change this to .mp3 f.i.?

really, it should have no extention, like /stream/1001 for the mountpoint On Thu, 10 Mar 2005 20:51:29 +0100, Kai Schaetzl <maillists@conactive.com> wrote:> Darrell Dominey wrote on Thu, 10 Mar 2005 15:31:04 -0330: > > > make sure that your mountpoint does not have a .ogg extention with the > > mp3 stream, otherwise, it will try to play using the ogg plugin, and > > will stay at 0% buffer > > > > Hi, thanks for the quick answer.

Most listening client have bugs, the most common one is the extension one that players like winamp use for content selection, even though we pass an appropriate content type. I think the general rule for winamp is if it has an extension like .ogg or .nsv then it is handled specifically, if the extension is not recognised or missing then MP3 is assumed. karl.

I completely misunderstood the section about extensions on the website. I thought Winamp would not be able to handle stream, so I had to use stream.mp3 for mp3 etc. That .nsv thing came in as some default pushed from a streaming client. As I now see it can't be from the oddcast plugin, it was either from the shoutcast plugin or from the Nicecast software my friend uses. Since that worked just fine with other clients I assumed .nsv would be the correct extension - and I thought I *had* to use an extension for Winamp.
