Hi guys
I have tried to stream to icecast with no success...

I need to transcode 3-4 wma internet streams to mp3 and send them to my icecast server.
(Convert wma to mp3 and stream it to IceCast)

here is an example http://kissfm.live24.gr/kiss2111 this is wma
I tried in windows using the latest vlc with these options
:sout=#transcode{acodec=mp3,ab=48,channels=2,samplerate=44100}:std{access=shout,mux=ogg,dst=demo1@85.17.146.158:8000/demo}

I also tried this as I read in a post something about mp3=1 option to be able to stream...
:sout=#transcode{acodec=mp3,ab=48,channels=2,samplerate=44100,aenc=ffmpeg}:std{access=shout{mp3=1, bitrate=48, samplerate=44100, channels=2},mux=ogg,dst=demo1@85.17.146.158:8000/demo}

I can't tell why stream does not go to icecast, If I try to stream in local http via vlc it works fine.

Please be so kind and help me out as I see no future in this
I even waited a couple of minutes as I read to another post that it takes a few minutes to begin the stream out to icecast server...

Kind regards

Connection fails. If you know how to use Wireshark, you can check what happens.

Thank you!
I fixed it...

I'm getting a nice stream - very clear sound from transcoding.

Sometimes I get a timer message and the stream stops ans very often I get this :
access_mms debug: recv command start_sequence:0x00000001 command_id:0xb00bface length:32 len8:4 sequence 0x000002fd len8_II:2 dir_comm:0x0004001b

but the stream goes on.

I get the same messages
but no traffic on wireshark
no network traffic at all

can anybody post a setup stream for IceCast and a webcam

Grr! can you post your solution milis?
