Hi, We are a online media company and are developing a new product that uses theora for video streaming. We used your free Visonair OGG streamer to test and it worked perfect . We would like to find out if your experts can help us complete our OGG streamer software. We are able to connect to icecast but the stream is unstable and buffers 90% of the time. We just need to get the streaming to the point where it is streaming smoothly with very little buffering .

You may need to contact the Visionair folks for setup help. That said, we do know Icecast and the actual Ogg streaming formats very well. We can help debug from that side.

The exception is when 'burst-on-connect' is enabled, in which case it keeps around a small buffer so that when a client connects, it can fill the client-side buffer rapidly. There's also a little bit of in-band fanciness to start an Ogg stream properly in the middle. Are you doing broadcast streaming, or low-latency conferencing, or...? (BTW, I've trimmed the response list down to just icecast at xiph.org since that's the most appropriate place for it to go). Monty Xiph.Org
Hi, We are building our own custom streamer using your theora libraries. If we can get help to debug the solution and figure out why its not streaming smoothly that would be great. The end gold is to have a custom streamer for Windows and Mac that streams to icecast and can be viewed using HTML5. If you have any questions or need further details I would be happy to provide more details and thank you for the quick response .

Visionair is developed by a third party (actually, I don't even know what person or company is responsible for Visionair).> We would like to find out if your experts can > help us complete our OGG streamer software.

You should consider contacting them for assistance. --Ben -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
