I want to run liveice when the RH71 server boots up. I cannot seem to get it right though. This is what I have tried to do... In /etc/rc.d/rc.local /usr/local/icecast/bin/liveice & This is failing though. Is anyone else out there successfully starting liveice as a background process? How have you been able to do it? Thanks, Matt --- >8 ---- List archives:

I'm just wondering how people are keeping Icecast and Liveice running. If it crashes at some point do you just restart everything by hand or do you have something to keep an eye on the processes (e.g svscan/daemontools program)??? I will be running a stream for a radio station and if the stream crashes I would like it to know that it has crashed and either reboot the system or restart the

Maybe this is the wrong place to post, but... When trying to start up liveice to a shoutcast server I'm getting the following error, and then it dies and screws up the terminal emulation for my session. Anyone seen this before? LiveIce Streaming Mpeg Audio Generator Input Mode: Direct

Sounds like you need to fix the problem at the source first: balancing the levels going *into* your mixing board so that they're not all over the place coming out. You'll never fix that with any hardware or software device. I use a program called ecasound to do software dynamics processing, but you'd have to hack liveice pretty extensively to use it in that situation. Software

>Fromwhat you describe, your comp/limiter can't possibly be working correctly. It should be the last unit in line before the sound card, and needs to be adjusted properly. You also need to balance the levels on your mixing board (so that the correc t level comes at predictable place on the slider). It might be worthwhile to find someone with some sound-mixing or radio engineering experience

I would like to use icecast and liveice as my normal account. If I do so, using xmms, I can access the relayed radios I have defined, but I cannot listen th the playlist liveice is broadcasting on /disk. XMMS tells me that the specified stream could not be found. If I launch icecast as root however, it works fine. I've searched through the logs and checked the file permissions but I

Thanks William and Scott, I appreciate the help.. Liveice and Icecast Rock! Ive had one stream running, non stop @ 128k for over 60 hours without a reset, restart, or a reload of anything.. Is this par for the course? And about that keepalive script.. Would you (or someone) be willing to send me a sample so as I change whats needed and implement it? Thanks a bunch! Scott W.

Thanks for your answers Tim and Jaromil, there were useful for my work. But you don't understand what i really mean (sorry for my english). Here is exactly what i want to do: I want to install on my PC (OS Linux) 2 or more FM-tuners. These tuners will get existing FM stations programs. Then, i want to broadcast these programs at the same time on internet with 2 or more softwares'

the ACG function that the compressor provides is limited at best. its adjustment is way too audible to make full use of it in balancing levels. yes, it is last in the chain. i'm just wondering if there's anything out there in the way of software. if a minidisc recorder can do it, why can't a $1000 pc? -p > From: "William Goldsmith" <wildbill@kpig.com> >

Ok, is this possible: I want to have a 128k and a 24k stream of a particualr audio program, plugged into the line in of my Ensoniq AudioPCI 128 (es1370 chipset) Is there any way to do this with just one soundcard, or do I need two?

When you're streaming to a Shoutcast server w/ liveice (or any icecast source tools), the port in liveice.cfg needs to be set to one port higher than the Shoutcast server base port. Shoutcast uses the base port for metadata & port+1 for the stream data. If you exit liveice with ctrl-c (rather than the command it specifies) it usually won't screw up your session settings. Hope this

Works just fine - though it might not be documented (seems like this info was dropped from the sample liveice.cfg file in the later distributions). Basically, at the end of liveice.cfg add the line: ENCODER_STREAM_SET 1 then define the values that would be different on the 2nd stream, ie: NAME Scott's 24kb/s stream SERVER xxxx.yyy.com PORT 80xx PASSWORD (if different than 128k) BITRATE

Liveice writes temp files to a hidden directory called .liveice_temp_files that's created the first time liveice is run. If it's run by root the first time, other users won't have write priveleges to it. As root chown that dir to the user or group you want to run it under. -bg --- Bill Goldsmith www.radioparadise.com www.kpig.com > I would like to use icecast and liveice as my

Hello, Could the experienced people help me? 1:) Is it possible to start liveice in the background like icecast and shout?? 2:) If I insert another sound card to PC(it will have 2 or more sound cards). Is it enough to specify "SOUND_DEVICE" option to /dev/dspX in liveice.cfg and start another liveice session with that configuration file??? 3:) With many efforts I fail to start darkice

hello, I'm using icecast2 and xmms-liveice 1.0 after configuring my xmms-liveice i try to connect to the icecast2 server. my logs show: [2004-11-13 06:47:50] INFO connection/_handle_source_request Source logging in at mountpoint "/" [2004-11-13 06:47:50] INFO connection/_handle_source_request Source (/) attempted to login with invalid or missing password i have changed the

I never had any problems getting my liveice-source streams to list on yp.shoutcast.com using Icecast 1.3.5b1 - though they wouldn't list with later versions. Haven't tried anything since 1.3.7 For a variety of reasons, I started using that 'other' server. But the point is that it *can* be done without resorting to using a Windows source box. -bg --- Bill Goldsmith www.kpig.com

Hi, I am trying to stream two different sources with two soundcards using liveice and icecast, all from single Linux box. Can anyone tell me if this is possible? I tried creating two sets in the liveice config file where I specified different devices. No erros but the latter source was streamed on both mount points. Running two instances of liveice talking to one instance of icecast failed.
