Hi Craig.
I'm not sure if it's the same circumstances but I experienced similar issues
with ices/icecast because I had ogg files and mp3 intermixed in my playlist.
Icecast would play fine for several hours then abruptly quit. I don't have the
error logs anymore so I can't give you any details there, but the source of the
problem was the ices plugin encountering an ogg file instead of an mp3. Anyway,
maybe you've got a file in your playlist that icecast/ices doesn't like???
Hope that helps.
Regards,
Pete.

playing the icecast stream. I believe the problem is related to the icecast
stream for two reasons. 1) Because it quits on more than one different player
(Winamp 5 and Foobar2000) and 2) Because I used to use shoutcast with Winamp 2
and never had this problem. Anyway, I tried to get as much information about the
problem as possible, so I turned on logging (at loglevel 3) and got a log of the
period when the player stops playing. I have looked at the logs myself and don't
believe they will be much help, however I have increased the loglevel to 4 so
that the next set of logs I get will be more detailed. Below is a list of my
logs and config files. It goes in this order - access.log, error.log, ices.log,
ices config file and icecast config file. Any help would be appreciated, but
again, I will have better logging when the stream stops playing again (probably
in about 8 hours or so).
