similar to: Icecast2 memory requirements

I mentioned the other day about a new company I'm involved with setting up 1000's of streams using Vorbis. This appears to be the favoured format now so that is good news. They are also investigating hosting the IceCast server(s) at their own premices rather than using a stream hosting provider. It was mentioned that 1000's of streams could likely be processed by IceCast2 on the

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. >

Hello again No replies regarding memory requirements! I have an idea to provide 1000's of streams without the requirement of 100's of source PC's, and perhaps without even requiring Icecast at all. But I'm not sure if this will work. We will have thousands of 24 hour playlists generated everyday by software I'm developing. If we encode all our audio files at 32kb/s, could

If you have access to a Windows box, Winamp v5.1 can rip CD's to AAC+. I can't imagine why you would want to do that normally, but it would be useful for comparisons.

Hi Ross.. I can email you the sources (complete zip is about 5Mb..with all the dependency directories etc) and all you have to hit is build after that. Would appreciate help in getting it going.

I only have mp3s and it doesn't make sense to me to change all of them to ogg. My MDA(windows mobile phone) plays mp3s with no problem. It uses them as ringtones. Its more widely used in my circles. Why would I and everyone else want to switch to ogg? What is the benefit? Why the shun on mp3? And I can stream at 64 and 32 which is great for those streams that will get a lot of

OK, I've organized this. It's not possible to average 32kb/s stereo with Vorbis using VBR. Quality -2 stereo proeduces roughly 32 to 38kb/s which is too high for many modems. I would have to use ABR, but last I tried that, it utilized too much CPU for my 950Mhz PC, and oddcast doesn't appear to support that option anymore. I've tried AACPlus 32kb/s mono and there is very

it was fixed a long time ago actually. The current YP is now benefitting from the changes made by me (with help from Karl), and yet despite the requests from both Karl and I recommending that these streams be allowed again, it falls on deaf ears. Ultimately it's up to Xiph to decide, although I was hoping that when the objection "it performs badly so we turned off all non-vorbis

Yea, It's VERY possbile to have the encoder sit idle until a User connects - we do that with our WMA encoders and where thinking of applying it to mp3 and ogg - however therein lies the problem - instead of PULL streaming you are PUSH streaming - and the server MUST see a source connected otherwise it will not allow a client to connect - Bryan ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ross

In the realm of internet radio id have to say 80% use winamp, or other players supporting http streaming. Winamp being the biggest major player and xmms for linux. Only noobs to the pc world use windows media and real player, since they are the ones thrown in your face. Once the noobs find internet radio, its a matter of seconds before they are downloading winamp. Windows media only recently with

Hi Abhijit I can't answer your questions but I would be very interested in a fully working binary of Ices2 for Win32 once it's ready. Thanks for the effort.

My wish for 1.1 is to stream my station with VBR at bitrates averaging 28-32kb/s with a minimum 32khz sample rate. Hopefully this will be achievable with the new low bitrate tuning that is planned. This could put it on a par with Real Audio at 32kb/s. Currently a quality of -1, 32khz sample rate produces an average around 34-38kb/s which is too high for modems. I could currently use a managed

Hi all, I need to convert a floating point value from Microsoft Basic format to IEEE format. There's a simple way to achieve this in R or I have to write my own function? (e.g. convert the C code below) thanks t #include <string.h> /* for strncpy */ int _fmsbintoieee(float *src4, float *dest4) { unsigned char *msbin = (unsigned char *)src4; unsigned char *ieee

Hi Rob The stream format has nothing to do with your audio files. I probably have 70% MP3's and 30% Ogg Vorbis files, and 1 or 2 WAV files for jingles on my hard drive. I only encode new CD's to Ogg Vorbis. But my station is streaming in AAC+ format, and I have also streamed in Ogg Vorbis format simultaneously. There is no way I would bother streaming in MP3 format. It's 15+

That will be difficult/time consuming. I may try that one day.

Hmm, maybe it could work somehow if we're using quality-based VBR- encoding? If you have silence only very few bandwidth is needed. But I really personally dislike all these VBR-things ... so thats why I would never try implementing it :-) If you want to try to do it this way you might have to write a dsp- plugin that loads Oddcast DSP "behind" itself and passes audio through.

Or is there any other option for servicing IceCast via a Windows PC
