I have noticed that when playing OGGs in Winamp, the bitrate displayed is always much higher than the average bitrate of the file. This was using the plugin that comes with Winamp v2.80 (v1.2 b7) For example, the latest oggenc encoded a song to 77kbps - I verified that this matched the filesize correctly. Apart from the first and last few seconds of the song, Winamp always displays between 85 -

I have got ices running with quality -1 (and on my roommates crappy computer speakers it sounds damn near the real thing - better than FM radio anyway)... I'm just wondering if it's posible to configure it with a maximum bitrate, or a nominal bitrate. i.e. to use managed bitrates instead of quality (I know it's a no no, but this is streaming!).

I'm sorry if this question has been asked before; I've looked through the archives and haven't seen anything. The problem I'm seeing is that oggenc's VBR encoding doesn't seem to pay attention to any sort of bitrate limitation, either the -m or bitrate_hard_min settings. It isn't that it temporarily dips below the minimum; the average for the whole (in this case,

('binary' encoding is not supported, stored as-is) Hello, I recently noticed that some of my vorbis-files are corrupt, and I'm sure they weren't before. I have no idea how this could happen. Now my question is: is this vorbis' fault or is it more likely that my (still present) Windows-Installation destroyed the data? (Or even worse: my harddisk's corrupt) The files are on

hi guys, first of all, i'd like to ask if there any crossplatform software/service ( gui is also better, an online application like firefogg is great, or at least a command line tools for any platform) to combine theora videos, other than oggcat... i am doing some art projects that people should be able to remix featured theora videos and i find oggcat very usefull in theory but not in

I took 5 albums (Classical music) and converted them to Ogg Vorbis at "Full Bitrate" (-q10) and all 5 directories take up about 775 Megs which won't fit on a CD. So I ripped them again in WAV first (And give my friend back his CDs) but now I wanna know what quality setting should I use to fit them on 1 CD (The highest possible with total space used just under 700 Megs)

Alright, I was able to recompile ices2beta, which connects to icecast, but now I'm getting: WARN playlist-builtin/playlist_read Corrupt or missing data in file When I try to play a basic playlist with 2 files (that are fine, and do exist). I have set the sample and nominal bitrates at 256000, which is also the encoding for the song... Does the bitrate of the song have to be exactly the same

Hi all, I often record radio shows for posterity, and sometimes I have friends who would like to listen to them live over the net. When I am recording for my own purposes, I use a command of the form: "brec | oggenc", (options omitted for clarity) and I send the output to a file, call it radio.ogg. Locally, I use Debian stable. If I want to listen to the show as I record it, I can

hello, i have a question about the documentation: oggenc --help says: -b, --bitrate Choose a nominal bitrate to encode at. Attempt to encode at a bitrate averaging this. Takes an argument in kbps. This uses the bitrate management engine, and is not recommended for most users. See -q, --quality for a

hello there, I just started using ogg files. And want to thank you all for this new format. I have written an addon for mirc (chatclient for irc chat networks) to play and exchange soundfiles and I am almost done with implementing the ogg vorbis format into this application. The mirc-scriptinglanguage provides me a command to read a specified number of bytes starting at a specified location of

Hey folks. I know tags aren't anyone's favorite subject, but I'd like to make a suggestion for a tag that I think is quite important -- a quality tag. So important, I think, that oggenc really ought to automatically create one when the -q option is used. As all of us know, in the Vorbis codec the quality of the stream is often a more important (and more informative) value than the

Hi, I need some help... I've installed an icecast server but I can't use shout because it's always talking about "bad password". My icecast server use crypted password. I think the problem came from mkpasswd. I always get a different password when I use mkpasswd toto. Help me please. <p><p><p>--- >8 ---- List archives: http://www.xiph.org/archives/

I get a segmentation fault when starting the IceS encoder on a Linux-based QNAP NAS. I'm trying to set up IceS to stream an ALSA input to Icecast. Icecast works well and confirms when I stream using other things to it. However IceS hits a segmentation fault immediately after starting the encoder. The IceS log is: [~] # sudo ices /etc/ices.xml [2020-05-11 19:24:34] INFO ices-core/main IceS

[please cc the answers to me, because I'm not on this list!] Hi there! Yesterday I downloaded the CVS version of icecast and ices. There are several example config files provided for ices in the conf/ directory. The ices-playlist.xml specifies encoding for one of the instances: <encode> <nominal-bitrate>64000</nominal-bitrate>
