Yes, I actually might. So far its been working very well...

Ok, so a little update to this. After spending a while messing with this, I
realized the problem was that the password was incorrect! (do you believe
that!) haha, so at least we know this is the response. Liquidsoap is receiving
some command that it doesn't understand when the password was incorrect. So if
I use this wireshark program, we can figure out what is actually being
sent/recieved? Interesting...I'll try this out and see if we can get the
needed info to update Liquidsoap to address the protocol behavior when there is
an incorrect password.
However, now that I got Virtual DJ connected to Liquidsoap successfully, I keep
getting an error saying "Unknown Codec" followed by another mesage saying
"XXXXXX.mp3 is not an mp3". I do not have ocaml-mad installed (I had the
HARDEST time geting liquidsoap installed on redhat linux!!!!!!!!! disabling
ocaml-mad was the only way to successfuly get it loaded). I suspect this is
the reason that I now cannot stream from Vritual DJ (which uses ICY) because I
dont have MAD to decode the MP3.
HOWEVER, Virtual DJ has an option to stream ogg/vorbis. I tried streaming in
ogg via ICY protocol but it stil said unknown codec and XXXXX.mp3 is not an mp3.
I also tried using edcast (which is the winamp plugin i've been using
successfully to connect using the icecast2 protocol with ogg/vorbis format).
With edcast, I tried using the icecast protocol but streaming in MP3 format and
again same error saying unknown codec (again, probably because of missing
ocaml-mad).
The question is why virtual DJ streaming in ogg would still trigger an unkonwn
codec error in liquidsoap....unless the ICY protocol really only supports MP3
format or something and even though streaming in ogg, its telling liquidsoap
its an mp3 (so liquidsoap doesn't know what to do)...is this possible?
My big dilema right now is the radio is 100% ready to launch but any DJs that
want to do a live show using software that only support shoutcast protocol, Im
not sure if they will be able to use the system :-(
1) Does liquidsoap really support ICY protocol "enough" to be able to
reasonably use it by most users using typical broadcasting software? or is
support so minimal that its not worth trying?
2) You mention something about the SVN possibly having some updates to this.
How far advanced (Roman?) is the SVN from 0.9.0 in the respect to ICY/Shoutcast
support? I had one hell of a time tryign to get liquidsoap installed on redhat
linux and i'll be damned if Im going to try again without some good reasons :-P
Im ready for launch time and I dont know if I should just say the hell with it
for Shoutcast support or hold off a week while I get this ICY protocol issue
addressed
