As a national broadcaster, ISDN is definitely NOT cost effective compared to IP based transport. It does buy you reliable transport and reasonable delay however. For us to get to StarGuide and our affiliates, we have to use ISDN. We spend a lot of money on these lines and have driven our rate down to 4 cents per minute. But we DO NOT broadcast 24 hours a day. I would consider an ADN, Fract T1,

Hello, I have another question as to what we need to use with our stations, if Icecast is what we need. We will be simulcasting three stations through DSL. No one will be accessing this but our stations. We will put out our programming from the main office, hook up a computer at three stations to receive the feed and put it out on air. Then also we will be on the internet with one of the

Hi, I'm running Aaron's tunequeue scripts for my radio site. (tunequeue.sf.net) I have ices2 to read Ogg Vorbis files and feed the icecast2 server with those files. Could someone please tell me how can I disable ID3 updating? I want all clients to only show the name of the radio, but don't get any of the ID tag information stored in the Ogg files. Where can I set that? Sorry for

what about "ethernet over tcp"? don't know if windows support this, but for linux/unix users it should be possible to authenticate via mac address in routed network using icecast url authentication + eth over ip software bridge. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Balint Jacint" <bjacint@kvark.hu> To: "Alexander Dal Farra"

Hi Christian, Aaron Wolfe has already sent me a script he used for his online radio. I only need to customize it -- and maybe create a Debian package from it. It knows much more than I need (requests, cancels, more stations, etc.), I'll have to cut out some parts. To answer your questions I use Debian Linux, I'll use ices2 as source, not a media player. Thanks, Jacint Christian

Hi all, I'd like to launch a radio station that would show the current, previous and upcoming tracks on a dynamic website. Is there any software around that would do just this task, or do I have to create my own scripts? The source (ices) is on the same computer where the icecast server is. Thanks in advance! Yours, Jacint

Hi, We're planning to launch a video stream. We do not have anything yet (no camera, no computer, no software, only a Linux server that will do the broadcasting with icecast installed). Has anyone ever done such a thing? What hardware do you suggest? What software can be used (both for Linux and Windows on source side). Can Icecast be used for this video streaming purpose (on server side)?

Hi Guys, My first post here so hello to all :-)) Anyway, my question: Does anybody know if there is a tool out there that can process the icecast log files and return a graph of listener numbers over a set period? I'd like to be able to know when our most busiest time was. Thanks very much in advance, Andy

Hi, I searched the Internet to find an answers, but I didn't find anything useful, so I'm turning to you, maybe someone has the answer. I want to make a realtime broadcast from a Linux box. The source is the soundcard's line-in, and it sends the stream to an Icecast server. I would like to have realtime compressor/limiter functionalities on this Linux box, so the outgoing signal

Hi, I'm planning to broadcast live stream from a place, where there's only ADSL connection, which may be used during broadcast, so temporary bandwidth-sortage can happen. Is there any way to create a huge buffer on server-side? This way there would be no problem, if the source couldn't send the stream, the server could serve from the buffer until the source gets bandwidth again.

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

Hi, I just wanna share with you my experience with theora ffmpeg2theora, icecast2 and ubuntu edgy. I wanted to broadcast live video on an Ubuntu machine with ffmpeg2theora, oggfwd and icecast2. I read the thread http://lists.xiph.org/pipermail/icecast/2005-February/008608.html about the stream dying after a couple seconds with libshout 2.0. Now the same happens if you use libshout3 v2.2 with

Hi, I know two solutions for that. 1. You set up icecast to broadcast on the 80 port (there's a <port> tag in the xml). If you run a webserver on the same machine, then you can't do this. 2. If you run a webserver on the 80 port, you can set up the webserver to relay the stream through it. If you use apache, you need something like this in your httpd.conf: <VirtualHost

Hi there, is it possible to use such encryption like SSL/TLS for authenticating users on a mountpoint? I can't find somethin like that in the docmentation and it would be nice to have such a mechanism like that, because all passwords will be transmitted in PLAIN text. This is not very secure, because anyone can see the usernames and passwords in his sniffer program. Would be pleased if

Hi Karl, Thanks for the reply. As I read the documentation, the queue-size is related to the listener, not the source. If the listener sets up a small buffer, they can easily run out of it. The source-timeout parameter is an important one for me, I'll raise that. Thanks! Isn't there a parameter that controls the buffer size used in the server...? Or any other way to make this goal?

I knew it wasn't ID3, I just didn't know the name for it. This way you knew what I meant. :) Thanks for the reply. Then I'll modify my Ogg files. I have jlGui Java player embedded into my web page, and it keeps reconnecting every time a song has ended. Unfortunately by reconnecting it looses the first 1-2 seconds of the songs. According to what you've said there's no way

Hi, Does Icecast2.3 handle wmv (windows media video) format streams? I need to set up a live streaming service. It is important that no additional software should be installed on client side, so either need a flash player (or java based player if we have nothing else) or a format that can be played with the default Windows Media Player. If it supports such things what software can I use to

Hi, I had the same experience as Jacint and had to downgrade libshout to the dapper version. I also found that I had to downgrade icecast2 from 2.3.1-3 (edgy) to the dapper version 2.3.1-2 in order to actually view the streamed video. Karim

As a national broadcaster, ISDN is definitely NOT cost effective compared to IP based transport. I don't disagree. I'm simply suggesting that digital telephony of one form or another is more reliable and little latency. And, in certain circumstances cheaper than IP. Our friend at the Bible college didn't say whether he's talking about long distance (as in telephone charges)
