Hello,
I started broadcasting some music a week ago and so far so good. Until I came back today and noticed an IP address that was connected for almost a day (non-stop). I became quickly suspicious and found out that some people can rip the stream easily. So I banned the IP address and the whole subnet.
But what I mostly want to say is that during the time the connection was alive, I could hear some noises on the stream, as if the encoding didn't perform well. This happened only when this IP address was connected. So to me, it is a hint that someone is ripping your stream. Does anyone notice the same thing ??
