Posted: Fri Feb 17, 2006 6:10 pm Post subject: [SOLVED] Ices 2.0 Vorbis VBR is killing me with delay |
|
|
Hello, I am trying to setup an icecast channel for audio news.. The line will be silent most of the time with broadcasts about 3 or 4 times an hour. My problem is that with VBR the silence gets compressed down to nothing, causing the player buffer to open up a huge delay.
When the broadcaster comes on I want all the listeners to hear it ASAP. I was looking at nominal-bitrate but it didn't seem to have an effect. Any ideas?

When I pipe music into the channel the prebuffering is not a problem because there is content on the stream.. however, since silence is primarily what's on the line this creates a delay. Is there any way to stop ices from sending in VBR? (So the silence would be encoded at 24kbps instead of < 2kbps ) |

have you tried the managed mode settings, ie <managed> 1 and <minimum-bitrate> 24000 (or some figure slightly lower than the nominal)?

hmph, i had tried nominal-rate and minimum-rate by themselves before posting to no avail but now retrying with both of them it is doing just fine, thank you!
Code: |
<encode>
<quality>3</quality>
<samplerate>8000</samplerate>
<channels>1</channels>
<managed>1</managed>
<nominal-bitrate>24000</nominal-bitrate>
<minimum-bitrate>24000</minimum-bitrate>
</encode>
