FFmpeg can stream multirate, multiformat. I've tested MPEG and WMA. FFmpeg can also function as a "repeater" (so can Icecast) so if you need thousands of listeners just have a bunch of repeaters, and your encoder is only feeding the repeaters. > Orly, when you were streaming content, you were the only one using it?

Basically you connect to URL http://myserver:8000/low.m3u -- to get low bandwidth MPEG http://myserver:8000/high.m3u -- high-bandwidth MPEG http://myserver:8000/low.wma -- low-bandwidth WMA etc. etc. it's not rocket science. --- Orlando Andico <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Mosaic Communications, Inc. _ Philippine Linux Users Group.
