My problem is not with the Icecast server, but with my user's ability to get a decent client to play the streams. I have 3 Icecast streams created using Ices, and the mountpoints have the mp3 extension. My users and I have observed: 1) If Quick Time is brought up by the browser, it skips and chokes on the stream. 2) If Windows Media is brought up by the browser, it will do either of two

Oh, the problems that RealPlayer causes run much deeper than this - and aren't solved quite that easily. The fix below *should* work, certainly - but it won't. Anyone experiencing conflicts after installing or updating Winamp or RealPlayer should read through the stuff in the support forum at www.winamp.com. > You should ook around in Realplayer's configuration setting. > The

You should ook around in Realplayer's configuration setting. The problem is probably that you as a user, installed Realplayer, and clicked yes every time without looking through what it was going to do. So now you need to manually remove the association of .m3u files to realplayer and make sure winamp opens them. It's possible you can do this from realplayer, but maybe that's been

Uh, looks like I didn't read closely enough to recognize the depth of the problem :-). Jack's instructions on making/using .m3u files will make the stream play in Winamp. To have it play in RealPlayer, use an identical file - but with a .ram extension. -bg > > The URL looks like this: http://www.RainbowRadio.com:8000/club.mp3 > > > > My goal is to instruct users as

How does one set up Winamp as a source for Icecast. I've already figured out how to use the line input for Winamp's input, but I can't figure out which output plugin to use to feed the server. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Todd Merriman - Rainbow Radio Sound & Light +1 770 889 5897 8030 Pooles Mill Dr., Ball Ground, GA 30107

Would like to use a Windows client with a line-in processor to feed an icecast server. Have tried Winamp, but could not get the plugin recommended in this forum to work. Looked at the Sonique site, and could not find plugins that would do line-in and server out. Any recommendataions?

I would like to batch re-encode MP3 files on the Icecast host. A command-line utility to take say a 56kbps MP3 file as input and produce a 20kbps MP3 file as out would be ideal. --------------------------------------------------------------- Todd Merriman - Rainbow Radio Sound & Light +1 770 889 5897 8030 Pooles Mill Dr., Ball Ground, GA 30107 dj@RainbowRadio.com http://www.RainbowRadio.com

What is usually done is that you provide *both*. That's the only way to truly allow a choice. I certainly would never suggest using a .ram file only. But RealPlayer doesn't handle .m3u or .pls files properly (though it *will* claim that association & refuse to give it up) - so if you want to make your stream as accessable as possible, you need 2 links. -bg > Making it a .ram

Why m3u vs. pls?

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

Hi Stephan, I am talking about the meta-data: Artist - Song. It's weird because you are the second person on the list who doesn't get it working in Real... I just tried again with "BEK_dns" and "Radio Alcanzando Naciones" the 2 first MP3 radios I found in the stream directory and everything worked perfectly for Real (but not for WMP). In RealPlayer, I clicked

Hi, Thanks, that helps. What I really want however, is an MP3 stream that can play on a WI-FI mp3 player. I know the m3u streams, but they wont play. I can find the stream for the regular KING HD-1, but not for opera or evergreen.

I've been getting reports from people that my Icecast streams are not working when RealPlayer is used for playback. They all say that the stream plays for 5-10 seconds, then the connection just drops. I tried it using RealPlayer 8 on Windows2000, and got the same results. Winamp, on the other hand, works perfectly. I tried playing other streams on the Icecast yp server, and it seems to play

So what did you expect to happen just having people click on an MP3?

Hi: I'm working with an internet station. The station manager and I firmly believe in Ogg Vorbis. We already run transcodes of the 56k MP3 stream so modem listeners have the opportunity to hear stereo. We'd like to change our primary stream to Vorbis ultimately, but that will involve overcoming a number of challenges, not the least of which will be getting all the broadcasters to

Anyone conceive of any reason why I should have a stream that RealPlayer and iTunes have no problem with, but MP9 refuses to play: just sits there dumbly having loaded the .m3u that points to it, ignoring the play button?
