Winamp locking up during broadcast

Kevinbond · 25th February 2003, 04:38

Hello I have been checking out these forums the last couple of days now.

I have winamp setup and I can broadcast great. But after a while for no reason everyone will tell me that I'm not broadcasting any more. I can still hear wimamp playing. If I click on the talk button my volume changes and everything. If I check the Shoutcast admin it says im still connected. but I'm no longer sending data. If i try and reconnect is will send a little bit of data and then will not do anything. SO what I do is to try and close winamp but it will not close. I have to go into task manager and close it. I have to click on it twice to get it ti finaly close. I get no error codes or any thing. So then I can restart Winamp and connect and it works fine again until it does the same thing. It is very wierld cause it is very random. I have gone 2 hours and no crash and i can go 10 minutes and no crash.

I have tried the 1.8.0 and the 1.8.2 dsp. I use winamp 2.81

Computer Spec:

1.6 P4
512 DDR
60 gig WD harddrive
Soundblaster Audigy Gamer

I have checked the soundblaster thread in the winamp forums but none of the fixes helped me. Thank for you time

hmm this may help. I'm using 1.8.0 dsp right now and i am saving the broadcast. Well every broadcast that I have wimamp freeze up on me are the exact same size. They are 2743kb a piece. THere are 7 of them. Since I crashed 7 time that would be right. But everyone of them just stop when winamp freezes. And I guess I'll add I know it isn't the server i'm connecting to. Cause I'm the only one having this problem and I connected to a different server last night and the same think happened.

I would really love any attempt to help me.

thanks

Kevin

P.S. I just tried it again with the same song repeating. after a while it froze up again. I had to shutdown winamp through taskamanager. the file is this

Kevinbond · 26th February 2003, 02:39

None at all. Only thing I have installed is winamp 2.81 and the shoutcast plugin. That is all

Sorry Sed is my gameing name.

Also tonight I tried connecting to the server with shoutcast and then running all the music through media player. I still have not crashed and everything is running good. I just do not like media player. So after I was finished I reconnected and played one song with winamp and then I crashed right after the song was over. It is so wierd. I have tried all the fixes i have found in these forums.

THanks for any help you can give me.

P.S. I have tried to uninstall and reinstall and not go.

Kevin

Never mind i guess I was not going long enough cause i just froze up again. and I didn't use winamp at all execpt to connect to the server. And guess what the save file is the same as above
