 Posted: Sun Aug 26, 2007 10:15 am Post subject: Streaming NSVCap-Icecast-Winamp v5.05 -error syncing to mpeg |
 |
|
Hi,
Have problems playing my own NSV live video stream with Winamp. It says always "error syncing to mpeg".
NSVCap is connecting properly (I think) to Icecast. But I'm unable to watch the stream in Winamp. Icecast is configured to Mountpoint "mytv.nsv", what seemingly is the mountpoint which is been delivered by NSVCap. But if I try to connect to it, Winamp says either "error syncing to mpeg" or "file not found" and stops.
The url's I've tried are
http://my-icecast-address:8000
http://my-icecast-address:8000/mytv
http://my-icecast-address:8000/mytv.nsv
http://my-icecast-address:8000/;mytv.nsv
http://my-icecast-address:8001
http://my-icecast-address:8001/mytv
http://my-icecast-address:8001/mytv.nsv
It seems, that everything is going fine in Icecast, but I am not quite sure about that.
Icecast settings are the following:
| Code: |
<icecast>
<limits>
<clients>100</clients>
<sources>2</sources>
<threadpool>5</threadpool>
<queue-size>524288</queue-size>
<client-timeout>30</client-timeout>
<header-timeout>15</header-timeout>
<source-timeout>10</source-timeout>
<!-- If enabled, this will provide a burst of data when a client
first connects, thereby significantly reducing the startup
time for listeners that do substantial buffering. However,
it also significantly increases latency between the source
client and listening client. For low-latency setups, you
might want to disable this. -->
<burst-on-connect>1</burst-on-connect>
<!-- same as burst-on-connect, but this allows for being more
specific on how much to burst. Most people won't need to
change from the default 64k. Applies to all mountpoints -->
<burst-size>65535</burst-size>
</limits>
<authentication>
<!-- Sources log in with username 'source' -->
<source-password>password</source-password>
<!-- Admin logs in with the username given below -->
<admin-user>admin</admin-user>

</authentication>
<!-- This is the hostname other people will use to connect to your server.

listings. -->
<hostname>192.168.178.7</hostname>

<port>8000</port>

</listen-socket>

<password></password>
<max-listeners>1</max-listeners>
<burst-size>65536</burst-size>
</mount>
-->
<fileserve>1</fileserve>
<!-- set the mountpoint for a shoutcast source to use, the default if not
specified is /stream but you can change it here if an alternative is
wanted or an extension is required -->
<shoutcast-mount>/mytv.nsv</shoutcast-mount>
<!-- -->
<paths>
<!-- basedir is only used if chroot is enabled -->

<adminroot>./admin</adminroot>
<!-- <pidfile>./icecast.pid</pidfile> -->

<!-- Aliases: can also be used for simple redirections as well,

<alias source="/" dest="/status.xsl"/>
</paths>

The xml looks ok, and if the stream appears on the status page then that would indicate the source client connection is good. The url would be http://my-icecast-address:8000/mytv.nsv, port 8000 is the port for listeners and /mytv.nsv is the mountpoint which should be shown on the status page.
The message from winamp indicates the wrong codec be used, it uses extensions to select the codec falling back to mp3 if not found. So either the .nsv is missing or winamp does not have the codec installed.

I doubt that, because the same Winamp on the same machine can play files, which are been recorded by nsvcap using the same encoder settings. It would be quite strage if it would only be unable to find the right codec, if it was a stream and not a recorded file in the same format.
My Winamp is definitely capable of playing streams in that particular format, because I used to watch webtv on it.
Oh, and I tested the stream on my laptop. same issue there. Latest Winamp installed.
