Hi, I have been browins through the archives for a bit now, however I cannot seem to find any direct answer to a question I have. What streaming tools are/will be available for ogg vorbis? I found this quote on vorbis.com: "What about streaming in Ogg Vorbis format? Streaming is an important component of Vorbis. The format has been designed from the ground-up to be easily streamable. The designers of Vorbis are working alongside the creators of Icecast streaming media software to make Icecast Vorbis-compatible. We are also working on player support for streaming Ogg files. Streaming Ogg files from the web will be supported by the player plugins at the 1.0 Vorbis release." However I have been unable to find any trace of this. Apart from Icecast, are there any other streaming servers available/being developed for ogg? Hope someone has more info than me, Thanks Tim. --- >8 ---- List archives: http://www.xiph.org/archives/ Ogg project homepage: http://www.xiph.org/ogg/ To unsubscribe from this list, send a message to 'vorbis-request@xiph.org' containing only the word 'unsubscribe' in the body.

ive been trying to get oggvorbis to stream through my engine and if you ask me its a pain in the arse.. I still havent got it to work properly (using the decoder_example as a reference). if anyone has any suggestions i would appreciate it .. mp3 is so simple to stream in that you just read 1 dword, read a frame, then get a fixed size decoded block back.. The ogg layer seems cumbersome especially when i see it does dynamic reallocation inside the layer upon decoding! cheers Brett ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tim Hurman" <kano@kano.org.uk> To: <vorbis@xiph.org> Sent: Wednesday, September 20, 2000 11:05 AM Subject: [vorbis] Streaming> Hi, > > I have been browins through the archives for a bit now, however I cannot > seem to find any direct answer to a question I have.

IceCast has been really well designed, and thus is very flexible. My question though, is it just a matter of someone writing a source program (ala ices for MP3s), or are there more fundamental issues from the server side holding Vorbis streaming back? Also, what are the plans/timeline for updating the decoder plugins (for WinAMP, Sonique, XMMS, etc.) to support streaming? And has there been a determination for MIME type and pointer file (ala M3Us for MP3s) for Vorbis?
