Icecast - Dec 2007 - Create a live stream and problem in the webplayer

Hi guys , I have a big trouble using theora and vorbis for create real 
time streaming , or better to say the real time encoding.
I try to explain better to you my problem.

I have some video files on my hd ,i can choose for this files between 
avi , or other know format.

My problem it's that i use a scheduling system , that play the original 
files at particular time .
Now i must to taje this file and send to icecast or other streaming server.
My streaming destination it's a webpage where i have cortado or itheora.

My first try it's the system ffmpeg2theora , ezstream and icecast , but 
when ezstream change files to encode cortado and itheora stop the play , 
i have read that's the problem it's ezstream that create chained stream 
and cortado doesn't support this stream type.

I try with vlc , oggfwd and others but my problems it's that i see the 
stream in vlc or other system player it's all ok , if i use cortado and 
itheora there is the problem of changing files.

Now I have two choise :
-one it's to find some patch for cortado and itheora for play chianed 
stream and i think that my problem finish
-one it's to think another stream system that isn't 
files-->ezstream-->ffmpeg2theora--->Icecast , but other program
-one it's to fond the way to create a file that will play by cortado or 
itheora that it's only a temp file like a bugger in ogg format

How do you create a live stream?
I see that the only web tv that doens't have problem of changinf files 
are visonair.tv and this http://147.163.1.69/index.html that refresh the 
page this an ajax system
Can you help me please?

Hi,

You shouldn't experience this problem if you set ezstream to encode.  The 
stream it generates should be one continuous stream.

Perhaps send us your ezstream config file with passwords etc removed so we 
can help you further.
