have you determined if oddcast or icecast is stopping this? is oddcast even attempting to connect? have you looked at the icecast log files to see the rejections if it is? There is information you can give to try to pinpoint the reason for this situation.

I tryed simplacast "a plugin for winamp" it works badly, please go to the link http://64.131.69.210:8000 you may listen, but:

1- each 3 => 10 minutes it stops
2- some times , simplecast gives me errors message "unable to send data fast enough, buffer cleared"

I can not connect with ODDcast.

oddcast is the best plugin for winamp, many people use it daily without issue.

it seems to play back here ok, but as to why 1) occurs, well that can only be determined by looking at the log files but typically why people get kicked off is because the bandwidth is not sufficient.

From a simple test from here, the connection does not drop but mp3 at 64k is not going to work well at 44100 stereo, either increase the bitrate or reduce your settings.

the log files are simple text files. If you don't see attempts by oddcast to start streaming then the issue is not icecast.

can you plz guide on how and where to find the log file ?

and why i'm still seeing the error "unable to send data fast enough, buffer cleared"

the log file name and location is defined in the xml that you supply to icecast (look for logdir and either errorlog or accesslog). The error message you have specified is not an icecast message, it will be a message generated by the source client.
