[Icecast] icecast2 mp3 header missing

[coppla]

Hi all,

I’m using icecast2 to serve live streams in mp3. The streams can be played on Chrome or web views on Android, but it is very slow. Then i tried ffplay (ffmpeg) to play the streams, it’s much faster but it reports “header missing”. I built ffmpeg with debug-info and i saw that ffmpeg probed the streams several times to get the stream format. First several times the score is low and ffmpeg does not have confidence in the probed format. I guess that’s why the stream is so slow on Android.

I'm using ffmpeg + mp3fwd as source client. I’ve also tried LadioCast on OSX, and ffmpeg 2.4.2 stand alone without mp3fwd. The problem persists.

Looking forward to your help! Thanks in advance!
