This comes from Indymedia audio list, Whamb! should probobally be listed on the vorbis.com software pages. ----- Forwarded message from nathaniel t <vsea75@hotmail.com> ----- The whole world doesn't use Linux or Windows.

Hi Does anyone know of an ogg player for the mac (os 9) that actually works with icecast. I've tried audion, macamp, unsanity echo, and mint with no results whatsoever. They all play ogg files from disk, and all grab an mp3 stream from icecast, but as soon as I try streaming ogg they all fail to regonise it. (except for audion, which for some reason plays the stream as twice the speed?)

...alPlayer would play ogg vorbis streams, but they don't, and a lot of other "solutions" tossed up by Google don't seem to work either, at least for mere mortals like me. The only ogg-stream player that installed on a new macintosh this morning and actually got the job done was Whamb! 1.2, which you can download from http://www.whamb.com in a pretty straightforward, user-friendly manner. To make Whamb! your default player for web links ending in ".m3u" -- - control-click on, for instance, one of the "56K" links on our home page --http://seattle.indymedia...

...sting on the Net in the OGG VORBIS format. I understand that several French radio stations (France Inter, France Info etc...) are adopting Ogg Vorbis and I would like very much to try it. I have heard of several players such as Ogg Vorbis decoder plugin for Quicktime 6.2+ under MacOS X 10.2+, Whamb, Unsanity Echo, Audion 3. I am using a Mackintosh G4 Power PC, System OS X (10.2.8). Your help and advice in this matter will be very much appreciated. Yours sincerely, <p>Jacques Delière J.Deliere@verizon.net <p><p><p><p><p>--- >8 ---- List archives:...

...nt.unsanity.com/ > it's not free, but neither is much of anything else for the mac. :P Mint audio plays static ogg, not streamed, last time I checked. Also, has anyone actually gotten MacAMP or Audion 3 to actually play an ogg stream from icecast2? I've tried all of them recently, and Whamb is still the only one that works in my experience. Let's not lead Mac users astray; it's frustrating enough not being able to use iTunes. Matt -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

btw i just noticed that the icecast2 relay sounds fine in whamb (mac os x mp3/ogg client). so it does seem that some clients don't have the problem. here's the relay configs we're using: <relay> <server>server.to.be.relayed</server> <port>8000</port> <mount>/</mount> &...

Hi: Seems to me that Whamb! needs to be listed on the vorbis.com software page for MacOSX. This seems to be the best player out there for the mac (acording to what I've read here and on other lists) and it's not listed there (or at least it wasn't about 12 hours ago).

Yes, but I'm also unable to read that stream from VLC on OS X and Windows Whamb works on OS X, QCD works on windows. If it is confirmed that VLC is not working with that header, then we may ask VLC team to handle that header ? I downloaded the latest Realplayer, but I'm unable to play my stream... is it really possible? or perhaps it is only for mp3? in that case why no...

...d on linux, and vlc handles lots of those odd codecs that quicktime struggles with. http://www.videolan.org/ Or ask this guy, he wrote a flac encoder with a Mac interface. Last time I checked, it didn't support flac playback: http://www.danrules.com/macflac/ Some of the people behind the whamb player might be interested. Their player is the only one I know of for the mac that handles ogg streams. http://www.whamb.com/?heading=aboutus&lang=en Flac is really cool... I imagine it would be popular with pro-audio types. If EMagic's Logic and their sampler (EXS24) supported it, o...

I'm running Icecast 2.2.0 on a Windows 2000 server. I'm using Winamp with the SAM encoder plugin to stream an Ogg Vorbis stream (-0.55 quality stereo) from a remote machine. I'm having two problems. 1. The latest Winamp works great. Whamb on OSX works also (but no Title/Artist info shows up). But on other players (Zinf and Audion [OS9 and OSX]) it works great for one song. At song change, the player stops and I have to reopen the url again. Do I have to add some kind of fallback for in between songs for these other players?? 2....

...from raw PCM data with lame --silent -r -x -s 44.1 -f -V 6 --vbr-new file.pcm file.mp3 The mp3 files are piped to ezstream 'stdin' and out to the web with icecast. The files are short (7 seconds) and are piped over and over again. It works fine with iTunes, RealPlayer, Winamp5.x, VLC, Whamb, but not WMP! Here's a typical failed connection from the icecast access log x.x.x.x - - [23/Dec/2005:12:28:24 -0700] "GET /slack HTTP/1.1" 200 14770 "-" "NSPlayer/10.0.0.3923 WMFSDK/10.0" 2 x.x.x.x - - [23/Dec/2005:12:28:29 -0700] "GET /slack HTTP/1.1"...

Any idea if/when there will be official ogg support for iTunes or Quick Time for Mac ? The dual G4s have this stupid thing where if we stick the quick time components on the Mac and it screws them up, or the Mac gets screwed later, then it nacks up the warranty or sumthin. Basic point is we need official quicktime or iTunes support so we can play Vorbis on the Mac!!! Anyone heard anything on

I have yet to speak to a single Mac user who has successfully received a live or archived Ogg stream. I'm been told neither MacAmp nor Quicktime will accept streams, they only play files. Are there any Mac users on this list who can recommend a player (from personal experience) which actually plays Ogg streams? db http://www.subgenius.com/ts/hos.html --- >8 ---- List archives:

...re major tradeoffs: - Most listeners will have to upgrade to a new client or install a plugin. - Most WinAMPers connect with v.3, which won't work with ogg principally because the icecast developers make no concessions for its mistaken mime-typing. - Mac users have to give up iTunes and install Whamb. - Effectively no hardware device support. I realize all this is changing, and I'm doing whatever I can to get it there, but you can only force new standards and technologies on people if you're Steve Jobs. Others should be as accomodating as possible. <p>> Welcome to the 21st...

...gt; for its mistaken mime-typing. What? Last I checked, the ogg plugin for winamp 3 threadlocked just after connect. As far as I know, any bugs there are not our fault. If they are, we'd appreciate a detailed description on icecast-dev. > - Mac users have to give up iTunes and install Whamb. Blame Apple. Quicktime doesn't support VBR audio playback (or at least not the type that we need). Also, all streaming in iTunes is handled internally, and there is no public API for this. Nor is there a public API for supporting Ogg directly in iTunes (as opposed to via Quicktime). Severa...

Hello everyone, we try to decode ogg - files on Mac 10.2.8 ( later on 10.3 ). But we did not find any files... . Can somebody give us some hints?
