hi list

I'm trying to stream mp3 audio with shoutcast~/icecast2. Have followed the Gentoo Howto as well as the shoutcast~ howto.

Everything seems to work fine, however when I try to connect to the stream with a browser and xmms, the stream is saved to disk rather than played by xmms. This happens on my local machine, but also on remote machines attempting to connect (so i'm told by a reliable source using both PC and Mac).

Should I be specifying some kind of playlist that references the stream?

Here are the messages sent to shoutcast~ in Pd:

mpeg 44100 64 0 5 icecast2 passwd mypasswd connect localhost puredata.mp3 8000

Stats page http://localhost:8000/admin/stats.xsl looks pretty okay:

client_connections 9 clients 0 connections 10 server Icecast 2.1.0 source_client_connections 1 source_relay_connections 0 source_total_connections 1 sources 1 stats 0 stats_connections 0

(/puredata.mp3) List Clients | Move MountPoints | Kill Source

audio_info bitrate=64 bitrate 64 listeners 0 listenurl http://zhongshuobeijing.dyndns.org:8000/puredata.mp3 public 1 type MP3 audio

Here's the error.log after running icecast and connecting with shoutcast~:

Access.log has the following after point browser to http://localhost:8000/puredata.mp3 and opening with xmms (whereupon the stream is saved to disk and not streamed):

127.0.0.1 - - [10/May/2005:00:02:36 +0000] "GET /puredata.mp3 HTTP/1.1" 200 141959 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20050227" 10

Have tried dropping the “.mp3” in messages sent to shoutcast~. Tried adding :”.m3u” to the address passed to the browser. Nothing i've tried works. Best I can do is stream the signal to disk.

Can anyone please suggest what i'm doing wrong? (note that both Pd and xmms are using jack so it's nothing to do with audio being blocked)

cheers, Iain
