Hi David

Indeed, we could reproduce the error now. It definitely is the old decoder
hardware that doesn't connect to the Liquidsoap streams while the new one
works with no problems.

Here the answers to your questions:

- the new hardware decoders work fine with AAC+ and MP3 streams from
Liquidsoap
- the old decoders don't even connect -- meaning that they try to connect,
buffer, rebuffer, and restart eventually (see screencast here:
http://screencast.com/t/NMIyrmO8URH)
- the stream quality doesn't change anything to the behavior of the
decoder
- we are streaming through icecast, we have tested with different servers,
but only with icecast since we don't use shoutcast (anymore).

I have now contacted the hardware manufacturer (Barix) asking them for
assistance. However, there must be something Liquidsoap specific, because
the old decoders work flawlessly with other streaming platforms such as
SAM, Edcast, Nicecast.

Does liquidsoap encode with LAME? Could an external LAME.dll be used? (we
are on windows).

Thanks for your assistance!
Alex

Hi Alexander,

I'm also quite puzzled by this issue, I don't see what it could be. It
doesn't seem like a clock drift, since only the old decoders have issues
with the stream.

So... all I can think of are more questions: Do the new hardware decoders
decode correctly both MP3 and AAC+ liquidsoap streams? How often do the
old decoders disconnect, and is this duration affected by changes in
stream quality? Are you streaming through shoutcast or icecast?

Good luck,

David
