Michael and Karl,<br><br>Thanks for your replies.<br><br>Sorry for confusing you with bad test info. The contents of playlist.txt that I referred to in my earlier email did not match the log result I specified. However, I had ran the test with both a full and relative path in
playlist.txt; "/home/john/Visitors.ogg" and "Visitors.ogg".<br><br>Got it working, however. Tried playing a different ogg file than Visitors.ogg and it worked!!! If you want to test the file Visitors.ogg
yourself: <a href="http://www.archive.org/download/Shapeshifting_In_Abalone/Visitors.ogg">http://www.archive.org/download/Shapeshifting_In_Abalone/Visitors.ogg</a><br><br>My understanding of the encoding section in ices2.xml
is that ices2 simply tries to output the given ogg file with the supplied encoding parameters to icecast.<br><br>Question: The encoding parameters in ices2.xml do not have to match the encoding bitrates for the played file, correct?
<br><br>I assume the answer is no, as the ogg file that worked was encoded with the same sampling rate as Visitors.ogg.<br><br>Thanks again for your help. I will be creating a streaming radio station soon. Pumped!<br><br>
