Hi Dave > In the realm of internet radio id have to say 80% use winamp, > or other players supporting http streaming. Perhaps that is the case for stream listeners. I was quoting (from memory) media players usage figures I read somewhere. Once someone is using WMP, they are generally hooked, and there are 100's if not 1000's of streams available in the Radio Tuner section. >

I would be in the same ballpark as you, Ross. We are looking at icecast2/ices as a replacement for our RealAudio streams, as the licenses we have will expire VERY soon, and we frankly don't have the money to go dump on new ones. We're looking at serving literally thousands of listeners, most of which have RealPlayer installed at home or at work, but have never heard or played with WinAmp,

I think around 70% of all users either use Windows Media Player or the RealOne player. Neither of which can play Vorbis streams, and this is a major hurdle in the acceptance of Vorbis streaming. I keep telling people that plugins are

A FREE AAC/aacPlus Plugin for Microsoft Windows Media Player that fully supports the Icecast2 Server is available for download here: http://www.orban.com/plugin FYI: This plugin supports .asx for Windows Media Player NOT .pls or .m3u. Also streams can be opened directly by using newly created UIL redirectors, e.g., icyx:// instead of http:// and rtpx:// instead of rtsp://. This is all covered

As you know, Winamp relies on the file extension to know what input plugin to utilize for the audio decoding. The input plugin for .ogg files (in_vorbis.dll) needs to understand the other ogg container formats but it doesn't as it is a vorbis only decoder. So the only solution is for Ogg Speex to have a different extension so this can be appended to the mountpoint, and an input plugin

Greetings all, I've got some questions and news (I think) regarding the Ogg DirectShow filter, and Ogg support in Windows Media Player and the WMP Media Library. The OggDS that's in CVS -- is there any reason it's only at the 0.9.9.3 level and not the 0.9.9.5 level that's on Tobias's webpage? After downloading the 0.995 version and digging through the Windows Media

Hi, I was just checking out icecast-2.2.0. You guys have done a great job yet again! I was interested in the range support / stream seeking on static files, since that would be a really useful feature for my clients. Range support / stream seeking seems to work with RealPlayer v10, but not with Winamp 5 or Windows Media Player 10. Does anyone else have this experience? Is there a way to make it

Apologies if this is a bit of a commercial post (I've not been lurking long), but you might like to know that the world's most listened-to online radio station has just launched an Ogg stream. (As of today!) http://www.virginradio.co.uk/thestation/listen/ogg.html (or alternatively www.virginradio.co.uk/thestation/listen from a non MSIE+PC browser). Any ideas you have to help promote this

This may mave been asked before: is there some way once can get the windows media player to play ogg vorbis content? I don't use windows in general, but someone has approached me with this question. --- >8 ---- List archives: http://www.xiph.org/archives/ icecast project homepage: http://www.icecast.org/ To unsubscribe from this list, send a message to 'icecast-request@xiph.org'

What is the best (preferable open source) media player for oggs? I'm on windows, and Windows Media Player is the best thing I can seem to find. I've looked at WinAmp, QCD, Sonique, and FreeAmp, and they just don't seem to have the media library functionality WMP has. Is there another player out there I'm missing? Chris

I noticed lately a few listeners on my Vorbis stream using a player called: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322) I know Mozilla is a browser. Does it have a Vorbis decoder built-in or what's the story. Anyone? Regards, Ross Levis. http://www.stationplaylist.com -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.

Ok, I read the Read Me. So icyx://boa.mediacast1.com:9292/stream.aac works. I don't understand why the http syntax cannot be made to work. This works fine for Ogg Vorbis streams using the Illumination DirectShow filter.

I tested it this morning and here are my findings: 1) The Intro tag causes Real Player to give an error that the stream "contains unexpected data and may be corrupt". It does not play with the Intro tag in the mount point. If I remove the Intro tag the stream plays, and, the Real Player noise caused by meta-data is gone and the meta-data updates work. 2) The Intro plays in iTunes and

Sorry for the crosspost but I think it's important. Tom Pepper of Nullsoft, posted this yesterday.

Our primary goal in the decision process was to provide smaller consumption of bits while maintaining similar quality and compatibility with existing playback systems.
