Icecast Streaming Media Server

[Jonog]

Hi I use ice cast only for me, to do a link for an FM radio station.
I am on windows XP. Everything seems to work but*

After it could be 13 hours, it could be 80 hours, the listener player disconnects. Winamp, VLC etc.

There are no errors in the log but where it says
DBUG slave/slave.c checking master stream list I think at the time it does that, this is when winamp etc disconnect at the other end but not always.

Its very confusing, could it be to do with sample rates? As everything is set to 48000. Thanks.

Couple of questions....

Are you running the server stream from a commercial ISP to a datacenter?

Is the DC from software freezing/errors? Is it that you just noticed a big drop in your listener logs?

The first thing that pops in my mind when I hear about issues similar to this is the ISP.

Sorry I didnt explain that too well.

This all on a Local area network. One stream, one listener at the TX site.

It seems what whenever that slaveC thing happens the audio skips or the link drops.

Ok, Show and tell time. I need to see the entry before, and after the DBUG slave/slave.c checking master stream list. This way I can figure out if its your comp having issues dealing with the source or something else. I know this has probably been done already, but did you check your computers CPU logs for spiking. Your running the WIN32 app correct? maybe a process that started in the background that did not play nice with resources. If nothing appears in the logs before and after the S/S.c checking master, than it pretty much means your source stopped. That's when I would get suspicious of computer processes.

I havent checked for CPU spikes but its 2.7ghz dual core. I am using edcast as a source.

If my sources stopped though would the stream not still play with no audio?
