Hi everybody.

I've installed icecast2 + ices0. my client is xmms 1.2.10. Everything works fine when i'm using winamp, but if it is xmms after 15-20 minutes it stops playing. Confused Thanks

xmms plays fine here, although there is a quirk with the alsa output causing the playback to stop if there is a lot of system activity. Find out why xmms stops, does icecast see the listener as fallen too far behind ? Maybe the queue or buffer settings are not correct for a lagging network link?

hmm, as i can see.. icecast says that client was dropped but xmms still plays. When the track finishes xmms stops. Maybe it's queue settings?

ps sorry for my english and greetings from Russia Smile

If icecast drops the listener for whatever reason then xmms will stop, but without clear reasons for it stopping we can only guess. If you have some network configuration issue then that may require fixing or maybe the queue-size needs increasing.

That error is because the listener has lagged far behind, it may be that your network link is not enough or that the queue-size is not high enough. Without more detail it's hard to say.

What details do you need?
Network, i think it isn't network problem, because while it is win+winamp everything is good. There is LAN and bandwidth is enough for listening i suppose.

My initial checking would be to try other players besides those 2, vlc, mpg123, real/helix whatever, just to see if it's an xmms only problem. A lagging listener is down to it not processing the stream data quick enough, that may be down to the delivery or maybe xmms is stuck on something.

The xmms getting stuck after 15-20 mins is odd. Is is consitently happening after this timeframe, is there any event at the time, like a track change. What output driver is being used. These sorts of things come in useful to isolate issues.

hmm. it isn't xmms problem.
mpg123:

mpg123: Can't rewind stream by 966 bits!
mpg123: Can't rewind stream by 47 bits!

that is probably a resync, looking for a frame marker, mpg123 is poor at that.

Why not do something simpler as you seem to be having a hard time checking things. Use curl or wget to get the stream. What usually happens is a small burst of data occurs at the beginning and then it settles back to the normal stream rate (note that you have failed to give any information on the stream so I cannot even guess at figures).

If curl or wget terminates then check why, see if it's the same reason (ie whether it has fallen too far behind), if so then there is something slowing the network connection down starving the player of audio. If the curl/wget lasts longer than your xmms does then it's something to do with the xmms player.
