Hi folks I'm running streamtranscoder on my icecast server. Unfortunately, after 5-15 minutes of transcoding, it sometimes produces jumpy/skippy audio or drops the stream altogether. What I'd like to do is restart streamtranscoder every 5 minutes. However, when I kill streamtranscoder and bring it back, all listeners on the stream get killed. How can I prevent this? In other words,

...ream once it's up and running again. BTW, we also use the streamTranscoder, and I found that increasing the internal buffer size greatly increased the stability (at the cost of slightly higher latency, but this was not an issue for us). If you open transcurl.cpp and look for the comment "JCMOD, made this a lot larger" (should be in three places), you'll see a value defined as something multiplied by 20. I (rather arbitrarily) changed it to "*60" and recompiled and it worked so well I haven't felt the need to try other values :-) Regards, Laust
