Hi, I have just started a FAQ, including this question -- I forgot to check whether my previous answers on this list included more details or clearer explanations. Here is the FAQ entry:
<<< This error means that a clock is getting late in liquidsoap. This can be caused by an overloaded CPU, if your script is doing too much encoding or processing: in that case, you should reduce the load on your machine or simplify your liquidsoap script. The latency may also be caused by some lag, for example a network lag will cause the icecast output to hang, making the clock late. The first kind of latency is problematic because it tends to accumulate, eventually leading to the restarting of outputs: Too much latency! Resetting active source... The second kind of latency can often be ignored: if you are streaming to an icecast server, there are several buffers between you and your listeners which make this problem invisible to them. But in more realtime applications, even small lags will result in glitches. In some situations, it is possible to isolate some parts of a script from the latency caused by other parts. For example, it is possible to produce a clean script and back it up into a file, independently of its output to icecast (which again is sensitive to network lags). For more details on those techniques, read about clocks. >>> Hope that helps, David ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Sell apps to millions through the Intel(R) Atom(Tm) Developer Program Be part of this innovative community and reach millions of netbook users worldwide.
