Icecast Streaming Media Server

[kaptk2]

I need some help getting ezstream working with icecast. I am trying to use theora videos so I have configured my ezstream.xml file according to this: http://www.oddsock.org/guides/video.php However when I try to view the stream it does not exist. Ezstream appears to be working, just no video available to view. Any help?

If the stream does not exist then the log messages will indicate the reason.

My icecast error log contains this:

[2009-03-25 08:31:39] INFO connection/_handle_source_request Source logging in at mountpoint "/test.ogg"
[2009-03-25 08:31:39] INFO source/source_main listener count on /test.ogg now 0
[2009-03-25 08:31:50] WARN source/get_next_buffer Disconnecting source due to socket timeout
[2009-03-25 08:31:50] INFO source/source_shutdown Source "/test.ogg" exiting

So that says to me that the stream is not getting to icecast. I don't have any idea why. The same behaviour is exhibited when using oggfwd. ffmpeg2theroa works as expected when encoding a file to the desktop.

In my ezstream.xml file I have this:
ffmpeg2theora -x 320 -y 240 -v 7 -a 3 @T@ -o /dev/stdout

That command appears to work but the socket time out continues to happen. Where should I look to find out why?

maybe your libshout is not built with theora support
