Hi all, Didn't get any replies to my previous query, so I thought I'd try again. Since I last emailed out, my station has appeared on yp.icecast.org, so I really don't know what was going on there.... This time, however, I'm hot on the trail of a generally crappy output stream from icecast/streamcast/ices. It stutters; it halts on track changes; it causes the little red

...e using the new shoutcast 1.8.2 DSP, it has had a lot of problems with super high CPU load and memory leaks. Try Oddcast instead (unless you can run ices or darkice) using VBR Mp3 streaming. Nothing but happy times here on a win2k dual p2 333 with winamp (2.74) and Oddcast DSP Beta 25 connected to KasterBlaster 0.6.0. I don't think the box has been restarted or shut down down physically for months, but I restarted winamp for the latest update to Oddcast about 8 days ago. Running strong with no hassles, 6400 listeners later. :) Of course Oddcast supports both Icecast and shoutcast style servers, in M...

Hi, It's been pretty quiet as of late. I have a question. I have an icecast server housed at my provider with a very good internet connection. At work I'm using an ADSL line, which should be sufficient to listen to the 128K streams I'm sending out. However, when I listen with WinAmp, after about half an hour the stream stutters and stops. I can restart it and listen again but it

...r 7.0. Exactly my question too... how does it now that it's ended?? Bizarre.... As a test I fired up icecast 1.3.7 a while back and tuned into its stream, and winamp did the same thing after 2 hours. It basically stops, and continuously scans back and forth being stupid. I also tried this with KasterBlaster, and around the same time limit winamp 2.7 stops. About 2 hours and a few minutes and then dead air... The big major change in winamp 2.7 AFAIK was the mpeg decoder. Is it possible that winamp is some how loosing sync with the MPEG data? There have aslo been reports of winamp cycling its time count...

It is going to depend on a number of factors. Linux sets (along with a few other OS's I'm sure) its MTU to 1500. The problem is, if you set it longer then it will most likely be frag'd by your router. If that router does not, then another will. I think MTU for ppp interfaces are smaller. Likewise, if your backbone is FDDI, it has a large frame (somewhere in the 8000 range I
