playing playlist by order

[M@xX]

I am starting 2 dsp process for decoding mp3 with different bitrates. They are started at one time. And I am looking titles in shoucast! titles of the songs are different! why??
they are using one file as playlist.

have you tried using one DSP to stream at the 2 different bitrates, i beleive you can server up to six streams per DSP if you are using the same content. The only reason you need to run 2 winamps and 2 dsp's is if you want more than 6 streams or you want the streams to have different content (like a rock stream and a pop stream).

Just to clarify that the latest DSP, 1.8.2b, has five encoder slots to serve up to five bitrates of the same station.

Just because you started the independent Winamp/DSP combos at the same time does not mean they will remain synchronized.

I am using FreeBsd system and I am starting 2 copies of dsp and they start playing music from differnt positions of playlist! Why?

[jackherer]

are you using winamp with the dsp plug in as the source or are you in fact uysing sc_trans on the bsd box as the source ?

[M@xX]

I am not using winamp!
I use sc_trans on bsd as source

This is where the confusing has arisen, you should have made this clearer from the beggining because you frequently refer to using the DSP and the Shoutcast DSP is a plug in for winamp. For clarity sc_trans should not be refered to as the DSP and should be refered to as sc_trans.

Could you post the config files from your 2 sc_trans processes and we might be able to help.

Here it is

; sc_trans operates in one of two modes, either reading mp3s off disk, decoding,
; re-encoding, and then broadcasting them, or relaying from a shoutcast server,
; transcoding to a lower bitrate, and broadcasting to a new server.

; sc_trans accepts the following signals:
; HUP - flush logfiles (close and reopen) -- will make console logging stop
; WINCH - jump to next song
; USR1 - reload playlist off disk (will not interrupt current playing stream)
; USR2 - toggle shuffle on/off
; TERM - normal sc_trans shutdown (clean)

Since each sc_trans instance is different, the shuffle positions and subsequent song shifts probably won't be synchronized.

OOOoops=) Of course shuffle=)

Thank you
