I have a question about PLC used by OPUS. We are using OPUS for streaming music in some application. Due to some network problems, we are running into problems related to clock drifts. This causes jitter buffer underflows at the receiver and hence we need to rebuffer the jitter buffer periodically. We are looking at the root cause of this problem (drift), but that's besides the point. During jitter buffer rebuffering, we are sending null frames to the OPUS decode, indicating lost frames. My question is - Is this the most effective way of handling this situ...

After I installed the latest nightly build, it looks like the fallback works without rebuffering. I do see one problem -- when the main mountpoint stream restarts, the fallback continues to play. Once I stop the fallback mountpoint stream, the main mountpoint stream restarts, but only after client rebuffering Also, during the mountpoint switchovers, sometimes the meta-data is lost in th...

Hi, <p>I was streaming Ogg Vorbis to a mount point which didn't end .ogg ogg123 played the stream without any problems, but other clients (xmms, Audion) just kept rebuffering and failed to detect that it as an Ogg encoded stream. Surely the client should use the MIME type provided by the server rather than rely on the suffix in a URL ? <p>Is there any attempt to encourage clients to be more standard ? <p>Cheers, nick. --- >8 ---- List archives:...

Hello, I am running icecast 1.3.11 under OpenBSD 2.8-STABLE. On a first look, everything works fine, but after ~1.5 hours of streaming, clients start losing the stream and have to rebuffer every couple minutes. While this happens, the prepuffering starts to take a couple times longer than it did before. It seems to work fine again now that I reconnected both client and streamer, but it appears that this problem arises every few hours. Even more weird, before experiencing the problem...

...the streaming computer has a cpu load of 90-100% for no reason (it's an athlon 1ghz with only winamp and ssh and the system monitor running under win98). The playback on the streaming computer sounds good, though, but what reaches the client side is no more than stuttering, fast forwarding and rebuffering every 30 seconds. :P Ideas, any?

...s get into available status (1-3 listeners) on repeated page-reloads & admin-interface shows all/most mountpoints as available with much higher listener count. While checking the availability of each stream with Winamp I developed an theory: When listening to a stream on the relay it starts to rebuffer pretty often or even takes really long to rebuffer. So maybe the code generating the stats.xml file dumps all listeners of the stats on an "disconnected from source event" although they seem to stay connected. This is also what is shown by the listclients.xsl in the admin interface - many...

I dont know if this is a qustion that I should ask so let me know if it should be directed somewhere else. <p>BTW thanks to everyone who help me in that last thread. It is now working with the config file for ices. <p>Anyway my stream needs to rebuffer about every three seconds. Is it a bandwidth issue? or are there any settings that I can change to help improve this? <p>Thanks again. <p>Kris --- >8 ---- List archives: http://www.xiph.org/archives/ icecast project homepage: http://www.icecast.org/ To unsubscribe from this lis...

...like to check: > http://dir.xiph.org/index.php?sgenre=&stype=&search=aporee > (don't care about the content ;) > thx, u. You seem to be streaming at all sorts of different bitrates... I'm guessing WMP is expecting content at 128k, but recieving only 64k or 96k, hence the rebuffering. I have no idea why the server is reporting 128k though... :( Leo

Here's yet another ogg123 patch that: 1) Adds a command-line parameter "--prebuffer n" or "-p n" that decodes "n" chunks into the buffer before even forking off the writer thread. 2) Moves the buffer_shutdown call in ogg123.c to its proper place. 3) Doesn't use signals ;) This way, the default behavior is to start playing immediately, while allowing t...

...st (and forum, but waiting for a moderator to approve - hence my question here) but not new to icecast. I have a question - I'm running an Airtime install with Icecast - and yes I asked them first but this has flummoxed them over at Sourcefabric - anyone had a problem with a HQ (192kbs) stream rebuffering every few seconds during a FTP/SSH upload to a remote streaming server? Strangely the libShout and low (mono 96kbs) streams are fine during this, but not streamhigh (the HQ stream). I'm only uploading one file?doesn't seem to matter big or small, the HQ stream goes crazy during this. Fin...

So, I've googled around, and can't seem to find anything regarding usage of limit-rate inside of the mount tags. So... <mount> blah... mount settings here <limit-rate>(How to set the number here?</limit-rate> </mount> Any help would be appreciated.

> > Can you refresh your sources from the CVS, and try again? <p>OK, I got it to compile this time using the new sources from CVS. I am able to run the program and I heard myself talking through a microphone, but the client keeps rebuffering every 10 seconds or so. Not sure if this is because of some settings I need to adjust or if it's because the computer is too slow (200 Mhz 604e). Also, I can only run the program once without rebooting. If it try to run it again I get the error message: DarkIce: OssDspSource.cpp:184: ca...

Hi, I have a few problems with Winamp 2.8. (I can't use or recommend Winamp3 because of all the various problems I've had with it. It seems that Ogg streaming is broken on ports other than port 80. However, streaming in general seems not to work correctly. If I point the winamp client at an icecast or gnump3d server, it locates the file or stream fine, buffers a bit, and starts

...er machines on my network. It doesn't support metadata updates, ie. chained ogg decoding, but I don't think any clients do either. I think wrote the only client that doesn't crash when listening to OggFLAC for extended periods too, lol. Mplayer will crash randomly, and VLC will stop and rebuffer randomly.. So in summary Icecast is a http 1.0 streaming music server, and if its oggflac getting fixed, native flac with perhaps some kind of small wrapper or modification, I think that should be a target protocol, everyone uses icecast. And if for some reason icecast doesn't suit the lowest...

...MS and Winamp, the mp3 plugin will grab EVERYTHING except urls that end in '.ogg'. You can easily grep and find this code in the XMMS plugin if you're curious. So anything that doens't end in .ogg won't even be looked at, itwill be shipped off to the mp3 plugin which will keep rebuffering trying to find valid data. But all this happens in such a way that the user can never know what is really going on. To my knowledge, only RealNetwork's code does this the right way. jack. --- >8 ---- List archives: http://www.xiph.org/archives/ icecast project homepage: http://www.ice...

...to each other without problem. However, when I try to connect with a client, I run into problems: with Winamp 2.8, I get an [HTTP/1.0 200 OK] message, but then the stream is apparently dropped before buffering. With XMMS 1.2.7, the client connects, the stream is buffered, but then dropped, and rebuffered, ad infinitum. Any ideas?? from logfiles: [Icecast access.log] 10.10.20.21 - - [08/Apr/2003:12:13:17 -0700] "GET /ogg HTTP/1.0" 200 9643333 "- " "xmms/1.2.7" 805 10.10.20.11 - - [08/Apr/2003:12:14:33 -0700] "GET /ogg HTTP/1.0" 200 10455570 "- "...

...ear the same sound - one glitch per second - and it is very annoying. But, as you said, a crossfade once per hour would not be as bad. Also, the stream could be completely resynchronized even without a crossfade. Some streaming servers are so bad that they can't run for hours without rebuffering, but I guess it's probably pretty lazy to design something that does that on purpose (the rebuffering, that is). However, as I suggested, it might be better if the broadcast server gives hints so that the client player can do these crossfades during the silence between tracks. Usin...
