similar to: Re: Severe problem with Icecast2 and streamTranscoder

I have a setup where Icecast 2.2.0 is serving a single Vorbis stream. The source is either a local ices2 or a remote Winamp/Oddcast. I'm then running a streamTranscoder 1.2.8 instance on the server to transcode the Vorbis stream to MP3 on the fly and send it back to Icecast, to be served at a different mountpoint. My config files are very basic with most settings at their defaults. The

Consider the following: I've been running tests where I've set up more than one instance of streamTranscoder - all running on the same machine as the Icecast server and with identical config files - to

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

Hello, we're running a radio using Icecast2 and Winamp5/Oddcast as the source. We have several DJ's who broadcast from their homes, which means that the quality of the source->server connection varies wildly. Several of our DJ's have massive problems when broadcasting to Icecast: the music constantly goes on a pause, sometimes for a second or two, sometimes for long enough

Hi folks I'm running streamtranscoder on my icecast server. Unfortunately, after 5-15 minutes of transcoding, it sometimes produces jumpy/skippy audio or drops the stream altogether. What I'd like to do is restart streamtranscoder every 5 minutes. However, when I kill streamtranscoder and bring it back, all listeners on the stream get killed. How can I prevent this? In other words,

This is all happening on a box with: Win 2k SP3 512K RAM 1.2 GHZ Celeron The PC has noother load...all its doing is downsampling an MP3 stream to lower bitrates. I'm using the LAME_ENC.DLL with streamTranscoder. There is no version number tagged on the lame_enc.dll, but the file is dates July 2002. When I refer to "skipped and popped and dropped" I am referring to your

What is everyones opinion and expierience with using ODDSOCK streamTranscoder to downsample mp3 streams? I tried it on Windows 2000 and then compared it against shoutCAST DSP plugin. It sucked. It skipped and popped and cut off the first 1/2 second of each track and dropped. It sucked, while shoutCast DSP was flawless. What attracted to me to streamTranscoder was you don't have to run an MP3

OK guys. Thanks so for taking the time to talk to me even though this was off topic. And Oddsock, especially thanks for insisting that no one had this problem. It got me thinking......your transcoder is at the mercy of several external components..one of them being lame_enc.dll So..I went and found several versions of the lame_enc.dll, and experimented. I'm not sure how I should compile lame

hi, I have a single stream going to my icecast server, encoded in hi-quality ogg. goal is to serve hi- and low quality ogg and mp3 streams, re-encoded from the single hi-quality ogg stream. encoding all from e.g. oddcast simultaniously is not an option. it would be easier if source-streams would be static and always named the same .. unfortunately they are not. if so, I could define simple

I'm sorry...I haven't been doind this for too long.

Hi All, I have two questions. I have an icecast2 server installed, and I need to set up a Linux-based computer that sends a church's programs to the icecast server. (Both worship and teaching.) What application do you suggest? It would be really pleasing if I wouldn't need X11 to use the software, and it would display (with charactergraphics) the current signal level. The signal

Hello I've been playing around with Icecast, Oddcast DSP v2 and streamTranscoder, trying to get multiple streams with different bitrates in ogg format running. The source I am streaming is from Winamp 2.80 Oddcast DSP v2 serving to a linux compilation (got it from CVS just yesterday) of Icecast 2. I also compiled streamTranscoder 1.1 and after much trial got a not really stable second

hi, so far I'm very happy that I have running an icecast server with streamtranscoder which autimatically transcodes a certein mountpoit (ogg-high-quality) to low, mid and high mp3 stream on-connect. but I'm stuck with two problems: 1. how to determine which stramtranscoderv3 process is reencoding this particular stream? because doing <on-disconnect> just # killall
