Attached is my config file. The purpose is to interrupt my regular stream sith a station (stream) ID once per hour (time synchronized externally). I use ezstream to play the pre-recorded stream ID. I never hear the stream ID while listening to the stream. (There is a 10 second break in the stream once per hour) What am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance.

Audio pro's out there... Now that my crew has had several events broadcasted, we've found our sound system to be of a lesser quality than is desired. I'm hoping you could recommend wireless mic systems that would work well for our use. We're looking for a higher quality hand held and lavaliere sound system. One that I found while researching is the Sennheiser EW 122 G2 (http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/EW122G2-B/ ) but we need to know if that would be a worthwhile product for the money. What is a good brand - or what exactly should I be looking for? Any help and suggestions would be appreciated if you'd share your experiences with such equipment. ...Your wisdom please! Thanks, j
jduran wrote:> Your wisdom please!Sennheiser is a reputable brand. The model you cited is in their lowest cost series. I have sold a number of these systems over the years. Their first generation (not G2) were problematic in not being very durable. I don't have as much experience with the G2, but the few we have sold have worked fine for several years. My first choice for most applications is from Shure. They also have more models to choose from, starting lower in cost and going even higher than the Sennheiser. Other reputable brands are: Lectrosonics (mostly high end) Audio-Technica (wide range) Telex (mid-range) Sony (mid-range) I would stay away from any brands that do not offer any products that are considerably more expensive than the Sennheiser that you are looking at. The quality engineered into the best systems does affect the manufacturer's understanding of how to build lesser expensive systems that can perform well. Among the differences among series within a given brand: Durability and overall reliability Quality of sound attributable to the microphone itself Quality of sound attributable to the transmit/receive electronics Range of frequencies available Convenience in selecting compatible channels to be used simultaneously Features such as eliminating pops or thumps when a transmitter is turned on or off, battery indicators on the receiver, remoteable antennas, etc. How many similar units can be used simultaneously without interference Form factor (sometimes different for differing applications) The list goes on A local dealer may or may not be able to give you similar pricing to Sweetwater (the price they list is Minimum Advertised Price for that product), but may be able to provide more guidance in choosing the correct product for your application. You should only purchase from somebody that can help you choose the proper frequencies for your locality. The manufacturers that I have mentioned all maintain databases that will provide guidance to avoid conflicts with the changing landscape of analog and digital television transmission in your area. A dealer can and should consult that information before selling you anything. Not doing so is negligent. Buying mail order and just accepting what they happen to have in stock could be buying trouble. -- Regards Dick Trump Triad AV Services 1910 Ingersoll Ave. Des Moines, IA 50309 515-243-2125 515-243-2055 (fax) http://www.triadav.com dtrump1 at triadav.com

Listen to the stream on mountpoint /stream when there is no 'stream ID' playing. 2. All listeners to stream hear the 'stream ID' when played without hearing the stream. 3. Resume hearing the stream as soon as the 'stream ID' is finished. What am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance. Mike -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

As pointed out in the other thread already - inserting anything that way is error prone. Some listener software will choke.
hey, Are you stopping the main stream, disconnecting it? You have to make sure you use the same codex, bite rate and other parameter on you station ID. if you can get ezstream to change source, instead of having the server do it for you Station ID it would be a beter solution to the stream matching aspect of it. But we have problems with DJ switch overs sometimes, One will drop the stream then the other will start it. Some clients still get messed up in the transition and have to restart the stream on there end to fix it. This is setting the sources up exactly the same. Only difference that could not be truly check was if they were using the same codex to encode it. Since this is common problem across all streaming servers, and clients , and most listeners understand this and are told to restart the client and it resolves the issue. It helps to be in a 3d virtual world to remind them to via a text channel. :) David On Thu, Mar 5, 2009 at 2:26 AM, Thomas B.
