Peer to peer streaming suddnely stops

HamGuy · 22nd May 2003, 07:37

Problem: I need 24/7 uninterupted streaming peer to peer, IP to IP, single 56k mono stream, O/S Win2k Pro Box using shoutcast/winamp2.91, Box only used for streaming, no surfing, no email, nothing. Both Boxes P400 96mb ram, behind routers. Seems simple and it should be...but here's the rub, it's the 24/7 bit that's the problem. The server runs like a charm, never goes down but for some reason the stream suddenly disappears...it just stops streaming for no reason and you have to re-start it again ... sometimes it goes for a day, sometimes it only streams for 6hrs sometimes as long as 2 days. Lots of bandwidth and I never see buffering or hear dropouts ...ideas??

Do you have to restart Winamp?

Do you have repeat turned on?

What do the dnas logs say???

does it say that it dropped the source because there was no data sent for 30s

if so then winamp stopped playing tracks, so the connection was dropped

winamp probably stopped playing tracks because it came to the end of the playlist

do what festerhead said, and turn repeat on

Are the DNAS and DSP on the same machine?

Hmm.. the time it stays up is random... maybe its just a broken DLL or something.. what codec are you using to transcode your stream? I would suggest (re)getting a new/your codec again. Try that. Maybe its leaky or something and breaks... or maybe its just broke. Maybe also try regetting your DSP plug in too...
