Trying to get icecast and vlc to work together on a windows box.

Icecast Configuration:

<icecast>

<limits>
<clients>10</clients>
<sources>2</sources>
<threadpool>5</threadpool>
<queue-size>102400</queue-size>
<client-timeout>30</client-timeout>
<header-timeout>15</header-timeout>
<source-timeout>10</source-timeout>
</limits>

<authentication>
<admin-user>admin</admin-user>
<admin-password>XXXXXX</admin-password>
</authentication>

<hostname>192.168.1.10</hostname>

<listen-socket>
<port>8000</port>
</listen-socket>

<mount>
<source-password>XXXXXX</source-password>
<mount-name>/stream.ogg</mount-name>
</mount>

<paths>
<logdir>./logs</logdir>
<webroot>./web</webroot>
<adminroot>./admin</adminroot>
<alias source="/" dest="/status.xsl"/>
</paths>

<logging>
<accesslog>access.log</accesslog>
<errorlog>error.log</errorlog>
<loglevel>3</loglevel>
</logging>

</icecast>

VLC Configuration:
:sout=#transcode{vcodec=theo,vb=800,scale=1,acodec=vorb,ab=128,channels=2,samplerate=44100}:std{access=shout,mux=ogg,dst=source:XXXXXX@192.168.1.10:8000//stream.ogg} :no-sout-rtp-sap :no-sout-standard-sap :ttl=1 :sout-keep

I can't get VLC to connect and you see the mount point in the admin panel, but 1) I can't connect to it 2) I see no local video.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Ultimately this will be going on a centOS box, that I have to rebuild as my last one caught fire Very Happy.

regarding the xml, the 2 most obvious issues that stand out are the clients limit being very low (only 10 allowed?) and the queue size is only 100k which is small for a video stream. For the queue, use 512k minimum but probably more depending on the expected bitrate of the stream, you probably should increase the burst-size to something larger than 64k as well.

If there is still an issue, then set log level to 4 and retry, check the error log for what is actually happening.

xml changes

<limits>
<clients>100</clients>
<sources>10</sources>
<threadpool>5</threadpool>
<queue-size>512000</queue-size>
<client-timeout>300</client-timeout>
<header-timeout>150</header-timeout>
<source-timeout>100</source-timeout>
</limits>

Still local video is very choppy, takes a long time to update and I can now view via firefox, but it's very slow.

what bitrate are you expecting of the stream? As suggested before, up the burst size from 64k. Is the encoder cpu usage getting max'd out?
