Shoutcast not live..!??!

chakib00 · 28th February 2003, 21:02

If I play some music or if I say something the people who are listening get the stuff I said live about 10 sec after...

Is this normal or can I fix it? I hope so...

Yes, SHOUTcast is live. It is not, however, real time.

Check out the results from a SHOUTcast forum search on 'delay', or 'buffer', or 'lag', or 'latency', or 'real time', or...

The answer to all is:
The buffer allows QoS (quality of service) to the listener.
If you want real time, then SHOUTcast is not the solution.
