Weird Behavior....

[lostinthecast]

Hey everyone

I run a online radio station that is currently hosted by radiojar, while it is a good setup they are 25 bucks a month and they are not the best techwise. They use a closed source code and sometimes if i change something on the server it takes several hours for it to update. I deleted my entire library once and it played for another 12 hours after.

Needless to say I am moving from their servers. My new media host is a private dedicated server that can handle 8000 connections at 128kb stream.

I have set the server up like this.

Shoutcast Version 2 is running on the server and the ip is a public one, port 8000 is open. The music plays back fine with a pls file on any listeners connection HOWEVER, after about 5 minutes of stream time the audio starts to skip for a split second every 30 seconds or so.

Its a strange behavior and I know we are close to bringing this thing online for my listeners (i average abut 2000 at any one time) but I cannot go forward as long as this "skipping" continues.

I also installed Icecast to see if it was a shoutcast issue, the skipping occurs on the icecast setup as well. It is not the music files as they are all from a broadcast outlet and not stolen off the internet. I do not know where to go next and any help would be great,

you can listen to the stream in a winamp or vlc player by using the attached pls, give it a few minutes and you will start to hear the skips.

Thanks again
