similar to: no mp3s with ices2!? an other way?

> Best wishes > Stefan (on second thought ) :: my last post assumed that you had .OGG files to begin with .. depending on the size of your library, you may want to convert your mp3s to ogg . i ended up doing this , and it made things much simpler on the web end . also ; check out dir2ogg .. echo "dir2ogg written by Darren Kirby; linuxbot@shaw.ca; www.badcomputer.no-ip.com/"

I have mp3s as input and can't convert them all. And since my listeners will ONLY use mp3-streaming I don't want the overhead and quality-loss of converting mp3 to ogg and later stream-transcode them from ogg back to mp3. That's not worth it. So why can't support for mp3 be added to ices2? From a technical point, I mean? Somebody said "It's not and never will

You "should" be able to use mp3s with ices. But not with ices2-2.x. You have to grab ices-0.2.3 from the snapshots. The earlier versions of ices-0.2.3 containted mp3-support but were not capable of streaming to an icecast2-server (only icecast). The current builds support both features. But from testing myself and from the list I recall there have been some problems: Ices connected

Still trying to stream ogg and have not gotten past a make error in ices2. We www.freespeech.org are an independent media / news site so it would be nice to get this running and support this new format. I'd love to convert all of our 700 streaming video files from from realmedia as well but thats another story! Perhaps this is not the correct forum but it seems like there are a lot of

Hi: My understanding was that the ices 0.x app was still being maintained. If it doesn't work with icecast2, and I've not personally tried it, then there's some problem with either ices 0.x or icecast2 and it needs to be fixed. icecast2 should also accept shoutcast-style MP3 streams as well, and again if this doesn't work, it's a bug that needs fixing. I don't see a lot

Actually, you don't have to check out ogg and vorbis from CVS. You can just use Vorbis 1.0, if you like. ices was updated to use the Vorbis 1.0 encoding API, and that is the source of the errors the original poster was seing. --- Stan Seibert <p>On Wed, 2002-07-31 at 15:23, D.

Hello all Icecasters! I'm using icecast 1.3.12 and iceS 0.2.3 (with a self-made patch for VBR MP3, and an extensive Perl script for automatisation) to stream radio. Works great! I've tried to understand everything about MP3/OGG and Icecast and since I'm a stupid person I need to draw things all the time ;) - so I need you to tell me if I've misunderstood anything in this scheme:

can i stream static mp3 files using ices2? if so does the mount point need to to be something similar to"mountpoint1.m3u", "mountoint1.mp3" or just "mountpoint1" <p><p>--- >8 ---- List archives: http://www.xiph.org/archives/ icecast project homepage: http://www.icecast.org/ To unsubscribe from this list, send a message to

Ices 0.x is still developed. So is ices2. They're independent codebases with substantially different capabilities and users. Yes, in retrospect naming it ices2 was a poor

Here's a stupid question: Do icecast/ices 2 ONLY support vorbis, or can they still handle mp3s? I am not ready to stream only vorbis yet, since I don't know how many people are equipped to hear them. If icecast/ices 2 don't support mp3, then I have some hacking to do on ices 1 (namely, I want to play the same stream at two bitrates concurrently), but if icecast/ices 2 do, then

I posted a while back about having trouble with ices 0.2.2 being able to re-encode VBR mp3s, and the response was that ices 0.2.2 did not reencode VBR mp3s. Are there any plans to include such support in future ices versions? If so, any ideas as to when such versions would become available? Thanks, -- "Shall life renew these bodies of a truth?
