Hello everyone! I've been looking into using icecast to help get some terrestrial radio stations into Internet broadcasting. One of their requirements is that they have the ability to overlay internet-only content over the regional commercials that they run during their programming - ie, during breaks between their normal programming, they don't want ads from their advertisers

I have an opensolaris server running with a raidz zfs pool with almost 1TB of storage. This is intended to be a central fileserver via samba and ftp for all sorts of purposes. I also want to use it to backup my XP laptop. I am having trouble finding out how I can setup solaris to allow my XP machine to backup on a regular schedule, do I look for programs for XP or does solaris have some built in

Hello again, I'm having a dickens of a time getting ezstream configured - it requires libshout2 - so far so good. I installed the darwin ports library, did a port install libogg and then a port install libvorbis. Now, when I try to do a port install libshout2, configure returns the following. Any idea why it isn't working? Darwinport is configured to install in it's

Hello all I have been encoding to OGG as a default for well over a year, but I recently thought I ought to test how it sounds compared to other codecs. I got the Windows Media 9 encoder and I was quite surprised at how bad a job OGG did at quality 0 with a simple piano clip, and how well WMA9 was - I've always considered WMA as being a bit naff, but WMA9 has forced me to re-access this view

I think what they're trying to do here is not only block non-SCDNAS servers, but also as many non-Shoutcast sources as they can. Think about it - if you're streaming MP3Pro without

Hello Everybody, I'm having the strangest problem getting WMP 10 to stream from my icecast server. I'm currently serving two streams - one is a 128kbit/s mp3 stream, the other is a 32kbit/s mp3 stream Even when explicitly declaring the stream type to be http in icecast.xml , the 32kbit/s stream buffers *VERY* slowly (it takes about 3-5 min) in WMP before finally playing.

WMP will play a normal icecast mp3 feed. Thats one of the reasons I use MP3 because everything will play it. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Michael Smith" <msmith@xiph.org> To: "Michael Hale" <giftculture@gmail.com> Cc: <icecast@xiph.org> Sent: Thursday, September 01, 2005 5:03 AM Subject: Re: [Icecast] a few more questions... > Mike > >

Brainstorming Idea: Possibly add an xml api to the current yp logic, that way 3rd party providers could parse the stations in the yp off icecast.org in there media players. of course a plugin for winamp would be the first obvious choice(since the already have there own media library but uses yp.shoutcast.com), but others would follow. I remember seeing something previously at dir.xiph.org but

You'd still have to pay the royalties. It DOES matter if it's mp3. You have to pay the publisher royalties regardless, but in addition, there's a 2%

hi, if i reencode a stream that is in mp3pro (streamed with sam) to a lower bitrate by using ices/lame, is the reencoded stream mp3 or mp3pro ? thank you -- Mit freundlichen Gr?ssen Carsten Henkel mailto:carsten@chatlabel.de Eine gl?ckliche Frau braucht 4 Tiere: einen Jaguar in der Garage, einen Nerz im Schrank, einen Hengst im Bett und einen Esel, der alles

Reading Monty's message, I better re-post this one :-). In another thread the following was said: > It might help if you also mentioned that the sound quality of Ogg is > significantly better than MP3 (assuming that you use regular MP3, not > MP3Pro), especially at 32kbps. Speaking of which, would there be anything to stop Vorbis, maybe not v1 but in the future, to use similar

Greg, Yes, I have noticed that new codec.. AACPlus. Its really impressive in it's abilities, and it's sound quality. I tried to open it up with Windows Media Player and my Flash Player.. didn't seem to like it very much. While It's really kewl as a codec, and it has great support with a couple players, and limited support for the rest, I'll stick with the mainstream for now,

I can see Oracle has packages for RedHad 5 but not for 6... Should I install the rpm for redhad even though they are built against 5? Or should I install the generic rpm package from Oracle? anyone knows the differences? Thanks in advance Regards, Marc Deop

Sort of off topic, but I was wondering about how the SBR data factors into an mp3pro bitrate. If you encode a "64kbps" mp3pro stream, I'm guessing that 64kbps would include the SBR data. So, when played in a normal MP3 player, would a 64kbps mp3pro stream actually sound worse than a 64kbps MP3 stream? Tony Arcieri --- >8 ---- List archives: http://www.xiph.org/archives/ Ogg

But the source computer runs the other os, so I don't have too much choice as to what I can do and the timeout problems remain with mp3 as well. The persons involved don't want to use .ogg for now so that is also not an option. Is this an icecast bug, or some other problem? on Thursday 08/14/2003 Arc(arc@indymedia.org) wrote > On Thu, Aug 14, 2003 at 12:01:11PM -0400, John Covici

And thats only a player. What about an (Open Source) encoder? Nah, I'll stick with OGG for the time being.
