Shoutcast Next Song (WINCH) problem

kino · 23rd February 2006, 05:43

I installed shoutcast server on linux with sc_trans. I can send signal USR1, kill -USR1 PID, and it understands it (writes entry in log files).
But next song, kill -WINCH PID does not work. It not changes sonf and no entry in the log. Any help?

kill -WINCH pid
kill -HUP pid

killall dork*

Does not work. No more ideas? Anyone using shoutcast on linux?

I'm using the FreeBSD version and linux as well on FreeBSD (linux compat) loaded.

I found when sending a winch singal, it have to wait for the crossfader (if used) to play the rest of the song mine was set to 8 seoncds, plus the fact there can be a 30-90 delay from the shoutcast transcoder to the listeners. Have you waited this long to see if the song does change?

Shoutcast is great, but not 100% real time from server to listening clients.

Good luck with this.

A logical solution, but you wouldn't be the first to make tish problem if you're new to linux.
did you replace the "pid" with the actual pid of the server?
try:
kill -WINCH `ps -C sc_trans_linux`
This should replay (not re-read) your playlist.
to re-read the list use:
kill -USR1 `ps -C sc_trans_linux`

Normally you'd first use the -USR, and then the -WINCH
