Streaming ok but listening with lot of cuts

[vincentsemper]

Hello, after many issues during the last cuple of weeks the connections seem stable and my stations are streaming fine. The issues are while listening.
On both my channels there are lot of cuts very often. I'm listening from different players in different locations and cuts are reported everywhere. i'm the only one ?

You should ask yourself with what are you listening to...

which broadband connection type?
which device?
which software?

It is written. Listening with different players from different locations and different devices.

bitrate is also important.

It works without issues on my end with Firefox, Winamp has cuts but not everytime. So it could be caused by different bitrates of your music files. So check the bitrates and make sure that you files have the same bitrate as you are streaming it. Maybe this issue is caused by your streaming-client, while re-encoding your files with different bitrates.

It is also helpful to use a program like WinMTR to traceroute the path between you and the other end. Any number of transit issues can affect your smooth path to the server end. One issue on the network route can cause major issues with a steady data stream. The others are correct in checking the bitrate of things however normally if the encoder is set for say 128k 44.1Khz then everything outbound should be at that rate regardless of the source.
