StreamTranscoder problem (disconnecting)

[kundy]

I have a problem with StreamTranscoder 1.2.6 (WIN32). I would like to transcode a MP3, mono, 40kbs, 44Khz stream to WMA. The stream:http://stream001.radio.hu:8110/
The problem is that the transcoder connects and starts transcoding and streaming but after 10-20sec it disconnects from output and input as well. Reconnect...Connected...Disconnect...

My config file is:
------------------
#
#Source of the radio stream
SourceURL=http://stream001.radio.hu:8110/
#
#Wether or not oddcast will reconnect if it is disconnected from the destination server (example: 1 for YES, 0 for NO)
#
AutomaticReconnect=1
#
#How long it will wait (in seconds) between reconnect attempts. (example: 10)
#
AutomaticReconnectSecs=0
#
#What format to encode to.
#
Encode=WMA
#
#The port used for WMA stream (example: 8200)
#
WMAPort=8205
#
WMAMode=Mono
#
#Bitrate. This is the mean bitrate if using VBR.
BitrateNominal=48
#
#Minimum Bitrate. Used only if using Bitrate Management (not recommended) or LAME VBR(example: 64, 128)
BitrateMin=40
#
#Maximum Bitrate. Used only if using Bitrate Management (not recommended) or LAME VBR (example: 64, 128)
BitrateMax=80
NumberChannels=1
#Sample rate for the stream. Valid values depend on wether using lame or vorbis. Vorbis supports odd samplerates such as 32kHz and 48kHz, but lame appears to not.feel free to experiment (example: 44100, 22050, 11025)
#
Samplerate=44100
LogLevel=3



The output message:

Any idea?
Thanks a lot!

from my experience of streamtranscoder it is extremely picky on a variety of configuration elements which can cause this and it does not tell you.

Try

Samplerate=22050

as I have experienced this with a Windows server fixing the problem.

Now, i tried 22050 with various bitrate but the same effect...

[kundy]

Could you try SourceURL=http://stream001.radio.hu:8110/ ?

I'd consider upgrading to a more recent version of streamtranscoder, the latest one is at:

http://www.oddsock.org/tools/streamTranscoderV3/

...from my experience, the windows version 3 is MUCH more stable

[kundy]

Maybe, but if it is possible i would like to fix the probmlem with streamtranscoder 1.2.6 because i am not famailiar with 'V3.
Now i tried a lots of parameters (with 1.2.6) but got all the time the error message:
"Hey, but circular buffer is full...perhaps your machine isn't fast enough..."

[Nick@ss]

try the oddsock forums for support as they may have the answer you need,

[kundy]

i try get answer in parallel...

[Wavestreaming]

Its really easy to use V3, just download and install. I'm sure you'll be able to get to grips with it far quicker than sitting round waiting for other people to answer your problem...

[kundy]

Ok, but i have problem with the config file. With the streamtranscoder 1.2.6 i used the WMAPort option, but in V3 it is not a valid flag.
Could you send me a working config for WMA encoding, please?
Now i get all the time "unable to connect to socket" message.

[kundy]

I try to use StreamStranscoder V3 on Win32 but get all the time "Unable to connect to the socket"
Why? I would like to transcode a stream and play with winamp
