Most likely we won't run into this, but just wanted to post it somewhere for reference sake in case we run into it. Karl Heyes is pretty much the only active icecast developer now and is almost always very responsive. Here he was proactively so, pm'ing me, just to let me know. I don't think this was the mplayer issue some people saw w/my test stream as what Karl describes is not client specific and plenty of other clients had no problems (or at least not this problem) with my test streams.
-Eric 21:46 -!- Irssi: Starting query in freenode with karlH 21:46 <karlH> are you working to setup theora streams? 21:46 <edrz> will be soonish. 21:46 <edrz> probably going to sleep soon. 21:47 <edrz> but hopefully tomorrow we'll have test streams running in preperation for DebConf8 21:47 <karlH> well it's just that I've had a bug reported for low bandwidth theora, fixed in 2.3.2-kh1 21:47 <edrz> low bandwidth as in how low? 21:48 <karlH> but if you have a .2.3.2 setup then I have a tarball for that 21:48 <edrz> we've got a 9mbps uplink going out to our master relay. 21:48 <edrz> and only enough encoder cpu power to do one quality. 21:48 <karlH> not sure of the trigger point, but the recent improvements in theora has shown this up more 21:49 <edrz> what are the symptoms? 21:49 <karlH> listener connects but receives nothing 21:50 <karlH> it has to do with the startup markers 21:50 <edrz> hmmm. i saw something that might have been that when I was testing at home but assumed it was a configuration vagary on my part. 21:50 <edrz> though ... it wasn't that they were getting nothing. 21:51 <karlH> you get the http headers part 21:52 <edrz> my issue was more that the queue/burst seemed to have stale data when I tried having very large queues on multiple levels of relay. 21:53 <karlH> haven't heard anything about that 21:54 <edrz> lowering all but the first mostly took care of it. 21:54 <edrz> sounds different from what you're describing. 21:55 <edrz> does what you're talking about happen for all clients? it's definitely on the icecast side? 21:55 <karlH> yes 21:55 <karlH> yes 21:55 <edrz> i'll know more tomorrow. 21:55 <edrz> thanks for the heads up. 21:55 <karlH> ok -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean. _______________________________________________ Debconf-video mailing list [email protected] http://lists.debconf.org/mailman/listinfo/debconf-video
