Dear Icecast community, For several weeks I am running two IceCast2 streams. I am very pleased with the stability and performance of the Icecast application. Thumbs-up for the developers of this great piece of software!! The sources (live audio) are generated with two separated liveice-sn04 and streams to the remote Icecast servers. So far so good! Frequently one of the sources stops to stream

Hi Randy, Here's my advice - I'm a relative newbie myself but hopefully the little I've learnt will be useful to you: (1) Install icecast for the broadcasting, and also install "ices" for the actual playing of the files. Use ices 0.4 if you want MP3, or ices 2 if you want Ogg Vorbis. (2) Create a folder on your system, and in that folder store your music - ideally,

Greetings, I have some confusion. I've seen it mentioned, somewhere in some docs, that Icecast2 does not (as yet) support Push relaying. Is this actually the case? Should I be looking at icecast1 (which does support push relay, I believe) until such capability is implemented on icecast2? Or should I be creating a combination of both? Or what? Here's my situation: I have a customer

Hi - I'm rebuilding my OSX system and I can't get ices0 to build - or to be more exact, can't get libshout2 to build. I started by using DarwinPorts, and icecast2 & libogg & libvorbis seemed to build OK. The install of ices0 then gave up at the libshout2 config stage with output like this: [...] checking for libvorbis... ok checking for struct ovectl_ratemanage_arg... no

hi i have a remote machine i am running ices (kh branch) on...if i start ices with the default ices-jack.xml config i get the following: "Failed to read config file" I have tried commenting out the line that refers to alsa: <!--<param name="connect">alsa_pcm:capture_1,alsa_pcm:capture_2</param>--> but no luck...any hints on what i should be doing? adam

Michael Smith wrote: > This still sounds more likely to be cpu starvation than anything else It seems you were correct. After updating my kernel (!), the CPU load figures given by 'top' and 'ps' for streamTranscoder suddenly rose from 0.0-0.3% to about 30-60%. There are occasional peaks above that, which might very well be causing the problem. And the system load now shows

Hi - I've heard that Icecast provides a fake "playlist file" along the lines of http://blahblah:8000/listen.m3u or http://blahblah:8000/playlist.pls because Quicktime can't seem to handle the stream without a playlist file to wrap it up. (There may be other reasons.) However, I can't seem to find any documentation about this, and guessing various URLs on my icecast2.0.1

I got icecast up and running over the weekend. Now i have a couple of questions: 1. What can I do so that the record companies do not come after me ? IS it ok to stream mp3 music ? 2. I did some test. Some of my friends players would only play a few seconds and they had to select play to get more data. They were on a slow link. 3. Any other advice you may have. The play is to stream some

Hi, My icecast2 config file includes <directory> <yp-url>http://www.oddsock.org/cgi-bin/yp-cgi</yp-url> </directory> but when I go to the oddsock YP, I can't find our stream anywhere. Am I doing something wrong, or is something more needed in the config? Thanks in advance. I'd also be grateful if you'd clarify which YP I *should* be using! Does it make any

Hi, Can anyone give me some advice about how to go about creating a perl-driven playlist for ices0? I'd be grateful. I don't know what creating a Perl "module" entails, to be honest. I've written a .pl script which does the necessary functions and returns the path to the next MP3 file; is it enough just to reference this script by name in the <Module></Module>

hello, All, I runa webradio on Icecast and Shoutcast also, but got many compaints of listeners who tell me that they can't listen to the broadcasts on Icecast, because, SOMETIMES, although they already installed Winamp5, when they click on the link, Windows Media player, or Worst: PowerDVD is trying to open the ogg file. Any tips ?? And I'd like to know if there's any Embedded player

running it as myself ("dan") - the same as the owner of the logfiles and of the containing folder. i did try running it as root at first, but as you probably know, you get a warning message if you try to do that. dan On Tue, 7 Dec 2004 13:03:08 -0800, Daniel <lpmusix@gmail.com> wrote: > what user are you running icecast as? > > > > > On Tue, 7 Dec 2004

Hi - I'm a "streaming" newbie. I've recently configured Icecast (v2.2) with Ices (v0.4) to stream a playlist of MP3 files. When a user with iTunes as their default media player connects to this stream (http://www.barsuk.com:8000/barsukradio.m3u), it works just fine. However, if a user has Windows Media player as their default media player, WM seems to get stuck

Hi - Off-topic, but slightly related since it's a device that can listen to icecast streams. We've just bought one of these devices at home and it's absolutely great: http://www.acoustic-energy.co.uk/Product_range/WiFi_radio/WiFi.asp Not the first wifi radio ever, I know, but the unit is really impressive. Good sound quality, and decent interface. And they claim that it a future

hello Another beginners question..... I've been googling through the icecast archives looking for information on how icecast handles multiple clients. Haven't been able to find what I'm looking for. Could someone please explain (or direct me to links) what happens to the upload bandwidth of a box running icecast, when more than one client connects? For example, if a box on a 128kbps
