 |
|
Hello everyone. I'm not sure where to post this as I don't know whether the problem is related to icecast or to the source clients. Las night I installed icecast and darkice on my slackware 11.0 on my virtual machine. It took some time but by the end I was able to stream and test the system from another computer. So far so good. But the quality was really poor so I decided in moving to ices2. I installed it and everything went unnaturally smooth. When I tried to test the system, it wouldn't work. The other computer shows that it actually is downloading something, but I can't hear anything. So I tried reverting to darkice, and it wouldn't work either. I am pretty confident I did not modify the config files of icecast and darkice. SO what happened? Can anyone help me troubleshoot this situation?
Here is a slice from my ices2 config file
| Code: |
<input>
<module>oss</module>
<param name="rate">44100</param>
<param name="channels">2</param>
<param name="device">/dev/dsp</param>
<param name="metadata">0</param>
<param name="metadatafilename">live</param>
</input>
<instance>
<hostname>127.0.0.1</hostname>
<port>8000</port>
<password>....</password>
<mount>/stream.ogg</mount>
<yp>0</yp>
<reconnectdelay>2</reconnectdelay>
<reconnectattempts>5</reconnectattempts>
<maxqueuelength>80</maxqueuelength>
<encode>
<quality>2</quality>
<nominal-bitrate>96000</nominal-bitrate>
<samplerate>44100</samplerate>
<channels>2</channels>
</encode>
</instance>

And here is a slice from my darkice.cfg file
| Code: |
[input]
device = /dev/dsp # OSS DSP soundcard device for the audio input
sampleRate = 44100 # sample rate in Hz. try 11025, 22050 or 44100
bitsPerSample = 16 # bits per sample. try 16
channel = 2 # channels. 1 = mono, 2 = stereo
# this section describes a streaming connection to an IceCast2 server
# there may be up to 8 of these sections, named [icecast2-0] ... [icecast2-7]
# these can be mixed with [icecast-x] and [shoutcast-x] sections
[icecast2-0]
bitrateMode = vbr # average bit rate
quality = 1
format = mp3 # format of the stream: mp3
bitrate = 192 # of the stream sent to the server
server = localhost
# host name of the server
port = 8000 # port of the IceCast2 server, usually 8000
password = .....# source password to the IceCast2 server
mountPoint = test # mount point of this stream on the IceCast2 server
name = mp3 music test
# name of the stream
description = mp3 music test
# description of the stream
url = www.google.com
# URL related to the stream
genre = test # genre of the stream
public = no # advertise this stream?

use the mixer to configure the soundcard input you want to capture.
