Just installed this on the producton server, started it and got:

root@srv2:/icecast# icecast -c icecast.xml
Changed root successfully to "/".
Changed groupid to 118.

On the test servers (both win and linux) kh28 runs fine. On the production kh8 runs fine, but kh28 dies with this error only on this "specific" server...

I can guarantee that the RAM and HDD's are OK, i've tried recompiling and still the same error only on this server. Everywhere else I updated to kh28 flawlessly.

This one screws over the title streaming Sad

, it adds some weird symbols after the actual song.

I've been flushing out a bug with streams (relays) effectively hanging on restart but I think I sorted it out.

http://www.xiphicecast.webspace.virginmedia.com/icecast-2.3.2-kh28.15.tar.gz

I'd need to see the details from the log on this title issue, I've not had any reports on that aspect.

Please, produce a Windows-version, as the relays are on a Windows server....

ok, some unrelated changes done and a win32 build.

The title streaming bug still exist for relays.

I've identified a possible metadata corruption since 28.18 when a flv metadata listener could break things. Fixed the the latest

http://www.xiphicecast.webspace.virginmedia.com/icecast2_win32_v2.3.2-kh28.22_setup.exe

If still not fixed then I'd need some details about the stream in question.

Hey, I know the branch delivers flv, but check this flash lib out that does it for you on the client.

http://thundersnow.thebitstream.com/

it makes flash play aacp and video directly from icecast without a transcoder.

I created a provider that consumes the flv streams from icecast also, but the main function is transcoding the stream to flv packets on the client.

It works pretty darn good here and there, and could use a little optimization here and there as well, heh. Its a couple weeks old and rapidly developing.
