Hi, I help run an NPR/PBS station. We were running ice cast before our most recent upgrade. However after the upgrade we have now been receiving sporadic reports of people being unable to connect. The only confirmed issue is with Saffari on Windows. We are working on that specific one. But I've also received sporadic reports from users on chrome, firefox, mac, and windows and various other combinations. In almost all cases the player 'loads' in some capacity but nothing plays. All users tend to report the system working for other streams. I'm reaching out to see if anyone might suggest something or know of similar issues. The online stream is being fed into mediaelment. You can see the player and stream here. http://will.illinois.edu/am/willplayer/ We're running Icecast 2.3.2 and I don't see any issues in the logs. The streams are available, http://icecast.will.illinois.edu:8000/ Thanks. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Current broadcast is about Harper High School, talking about gun culture there. Do you still do QSL cards? :-) -- Paul Martin <pm at nowster.me.uk>

The problem is not icecast streaming, its trying to stream through a browser. It is very complicated to do. Each browser has it quirks depending on OS, version and what other audio programs that are installed. Having the external player link should resolve the issues. We gotten from using a browser player to letting the customer choose there fave audio player to use :) Even this has cause issues with some browser configurations. Life would been allot easyer if everyone choose he same formats but how do we find out which is best :) My suggestion for people using safari on windows is to install Quicktime if not installed, that most of the time fixes that issue. Or have them change to another browser. But still programs like Windows Media Player, WinAmp, and Quicktime work much easyer for everyone to play audio thru. Then now, are you thinking about mobile devices? Luckily that little easyer to work with since there are only a few platforms to work with not the 40 or 50 for computer users. I find Icecast is a very good server program, The only drawback I have with it there only a few source clients that can connect to it. We have had servers running for probably 5 years now, with very little down time cause by icecast issues, We have had lot more due to internet. David
