Song is stuttering when changing songs

not impossible, just tricky but that's the case for anything trying to re-use things not intended to be run in a different program from what it was designed to be used with

as most of it would require re-implementing a number API methods used by the Source DSP natively in it to allow it to work outside of Winamp sans the limitations in newer 5.5+ API. so if i was really bored i could do it but that's then helping companies who cannot be bothered to do things correctly (and legally).

sorry again for the O/T

to be honest, I don't think edcast will solve the issue either - because I suspect the issue is how OtsAV uses the dsp plugin API


but, I have another thought ... are there buffer size settings in Shoutcast DNAS 2? one thing I noticed with my flash app was that the buffer level when playing the above stream was about a quarter of the size of other DNAS servers I've listened to

Sorry for the newbie question jaromanda but could you tell me which one to download and try from the link's list below please?

I am running windows 7 64 bit. Thank you

Download the "beta" edcast_winamp ... yeah, it says beta, but I have been using it for over 2 years ... just too lazy to update my site

there are and depending on the build being used will determine the default setting being used. as v2.0 was using a fixed buffer size whereas v2.2.x is using an adaptive size (~5seconds by default) which from testing was a decent compromise between the lag in the system and keeping the stream good. but is all documented in the network config options in the docs provided with the DNAS.

update the wiki!!! it says 1 second for adaptive

(kidding, I'm sure the docs included with DNAS are up to date)
