immediate connection closed?!
 

When I connec to my SC server it says Starting Stream and then immediately Connection Closed (1 seconds). What gives?

Post a section of the log and a link to the stream for us to try.

I see that you (or someone) connected for 22 second using winamp 2.9; I am trying with winamp3 when this immediate closed connection happens.

40kbps 22kHz mono coming in ok.

You have some buffering and clipping issues to clean-up.
More clipping than buffereing.

Also, if you're going to broadcast at 56kbps or less, consider mono.

I tuned in for 2+ minutes.

Yes, I see you played for 129 seconds using version 2.8 so I switched to using version 2.9 for listening and it works. Something with version3 I guess.
