 |
|
I only want to send the signal from my laptop to my Roku Soundbridge for music.
I am using ices.
My logfile reads this entry:

My icecast error.log reads:

And the access.log reads:

My mac appears to pick up the signal, but there is no sound that comes through.
the Roku attempts to connect but does not.
Please help me diagnose what I am missing...

ps. I would love to figure out the video broadcast next... anyone had success with sending a DVR stream over the net? |

The most obvious thing that shows is that you are using ices2 which is a ogg vorbis source client and you've named the mountpoint with a .mp3 extension. That extension could be tricking the listening player into think the stream content is MP3 which it isn't

Ok, that makes sense.
I did change the extention to .mp3, only because I expected the stream needed to be mp3 for the soundbridge.
I will try it as an .ogg, but think it may not work.
thanks Karl.

so the player connects, gets some content then terminates the link. I can't say why the player closed the connection as I'm not familiar with it. Can it handle ogg vorbis?

I have never attempted oggVorbis.. but I doubt it.
I am going to try using shoutcast.
Unless you have a suggestion for a simpler mp3 service.

shoutcast doesn't handle ogg vorbis, whereas icecast handles it and other formats like mp3. No one is forcing you to use ogg vorbis but if you want to stream in mp3 then you'll have to use a different source client to ices 2.

Ok, two questions:
1) What does the client require in order to listen to an OggVorbis stream? Anything special? The reason I ask is, again, I dont think the Roku is set up to recieve anything but an m3u playlist.
2) I tried using Muse and was not successful either.
I think the simplest solution is going to mp3.
what is the simplest setup to get my linux machine to broadcast the sound that is being played on its speakers?

First thing of note, an m3u playlist says nothing about the format of the stream, it's just the format of the playlist. The client could understand an m3u and still not understand the format.
I don't know the Roku to know whether it can play ogg vorbis, you can always test the stream with something that can like vlc or winamp. Some players like wmp need plugins to play ogg vorbis but you have to consult the people why maintain the Roku to find out if ogg vorbis is possible with it.
I can't comment much on live mp3 encoding on linux as there is limited support for that. liveice can capture from dsp and encode but you'll have to sort that yourself because of licensing concerns, I think darkice can be used as well.
