searched both here and the listener forum, no luck so here goes

configuration

  • winxpPro
  • firewall(zone alarm)=off (for testing)
  • router port 8000 forwarded to icecast machine
  • icecast v2.3.1 (from the win32 installer)
  • oddcast winamp plugin v(I don't recall) encoded mp3 @ 64kbit
ok, mountpoint = /stream.mp3 and is set the same in oddcast
Code:
    <mount>
        <mount-name>/stream.mp3</mount-name>

        <username>source</username>
        <password>some_password</password>

        <!-- for testing -->
        <max-listeners>2</max-listeners>
        <public>0</public>
        <stream-name>Radio - mp3</stream-name>
    </mount>

remote listeners get the status page (verified using various response header test pages) but upon trying the stream, recieve "error synching to stream"
tested remotely using itunes, winAmp and WMP(also tested as /stream.aac with similiar configuration and results)

local listeners(behind the NAT) get the the status page and stream just fine (including correct stream url http://some.url.com:8000/stream.mp3

my isp HAS been toying with upload compression off and on, could this be the issue? doesn't seem to be a DDNS problem as the status is viewable anywhere (locally configured by hosts file, remotely through afraid.org)

any help would be greatly appreciated...

- Void

side note: is there a method by which to change the default .m3u exstension or even remove it for custom setups?

also any SIMPLE methods for embedding status on an Apache server running on port 80 same machine would be welcome =)

The sync message is because the player cannot find the frame markers for the aac or mp3 streams (depending on the extension used in the mountpoint). If your ISP is compressing the stream then that would do it but that seems a very strange to do if no decompression is going on somewhere else.

the m3u is automatically generated when requested if no such file exists on webroot. If you want some other extension that link to it but that won't be automatically generated. As for embedding the status page, well you can use html [i]frame/object references.

assuming it's NOT the isp fouling things up, what are other posibilities for the cause of this?

for the aacp stream I was using oddcast, which recognizes the shoutcast aac+ stream encoder, but doesn't access all the options (defaults to 44.1khz parametric stereo, bit rate specifiable) so I can believe it might be misusing it...

but I can't understand why it would have frame issues using the the lame mp3 encoder.... I'm hoping it's just a local issue and I've got winamp or icecast imprpoerly configed (and since the config would match it still works)

any thoughts are appreciated

if /stream.mp3 is the mountpoint of the stream then the content will have to be mp3 not aac

did that initially... using lame to encode on mp3... but get the above errors from remote clients... can't think of any reasonable reason why, but seems to be universal (meaning "all remote connects")
