I'm having a problem with WMP and icecast 2.2.0. When people try to connect it buffers the feed really slow and people never go get audio. I've tried connecting over the LAN and it does the same thing. Open http:/scanner.weatherserver.net/live in media player and you will see what I am talking about. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Weather @ 7:04pm - Temp: 13.2 ?C - Humidity 55 % - Wind: ESE @ 6 km/h Baro: 1010 kPa Steady - Vis: 14 km - Sky: Overcast - Weather: --- =-=-=-= Website: http://www.WeatherServer.net =-=-=-=-=-=-=- Our Alert Lists: MTO-PEEL, MTO-TORONTO, MTO-YORK, NHC, OntarioDiscussion, SPC, USThunderStormWarnings, USTornadoWarnings, WxDispatch Signup at www.weatherserver.net today... -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

i had a similar problem few weeks ago. ices 0.4, icecast 2.2 wmp buffered endless. other players had no problem. solution for me was to explicitly set the type of stream in ices, e.g. "-t http" on the command line or in the config file. uno Karl Heyes:> On Mon, 2005-05-23 at 00:09, Jason wrote: > > I'm having a problem with WMP and icecast 2.2.0.
