 Posted: Tue Feb 23, 2010 1:39 am Post subject: AAC+ relayed through icecast2 server to quicktime |
 |
|
| I have a aacplus stream I relay to my icecast server. It works great on all players except quicktime. I was told this is because Im missing the "range" setting. Can anyone help shed some light on how I can get quicktime to play this stream??? |

someone once told me that qt used an icy:// url specifier in the playlist but I never heard back from them. Try adding an m3u playlist into webroot with a single
icy://host:port/stream
see if that works.

Thanks for the reply! 
I have been trying icy:// in the urls.
If I use icy://cast.windfarmradio.com:8101/stream I atleast get a "negotiating" message from quicktime instead of an instant failure to connect. |

Not sure which version of QuickTime you are trying. I just tested my station's 128k AAC stream off Icecast 2.3.2 using both a .pls file pointing to it and direct with the Icecast URL with .m3u and it works fine in QuickTime X Player in Snow Leopard. Attempting to directly tune to the stream without the .m3u suffix did not work.
Older versions of QuickTime may not support AAC and AAC+ http streams.

I haven't tried that patch yet but that was my next move.
The icecast install was done by hand but it is a station controlled by CentovaCast
I have quicktime 7. (not pro) |

Ive run the patch. No errors.
I reinstalled icecast with the patched src. No errors.
I restarted the icecast stations that were broad casting. No errors.
But still no luck with quicktime. icy://69.162.64.246:8101/stream |

I would check on what LG73 had mentioned.
AAC+ has not been supported in any of the Apple stuff until very recently. Older versions of Quicktime probably do not support the high-efficiency extensions.
As far as I know AAC+v2 streams were new as of iTunes 9.

Thanks I did try renaming it and it did function differently. But no music. It was silent with no stream info but the track finder was moving for some reason.
---------------------------------------
[playlist]
numberofentries=1
File1=http://69.162.64.246:8101/stream
Title1=aac_plus_relay_windfarm_64
Length1=-1
version=2
---------------------------------------
this is the contests of my .pls file turned .m3u
Should this be different? |
