shout output has gaps in audio playback

[groffhibbitz]

Hi everyone...

I'm trying to send the vlc output to an icecast server using this command

Code: Select all

vlc.exe -v "C:/audio/Track02.ogg" --sout="#std{access=shout,mux=ogg,dst=source:password@myhost:8000/test.ogg}"

which will successfully connect to my icecast server, but there is a gap in playback every 8 seconds or so, rendering the music un-listen-able.

I've tried streaming from my computer using winamp and oddcast, and do not hear these gaps.

Has anyone else experienced this problem, and if so, how did you solve it?

I also tried running this command on Mac OS X, but i cannot get it to play at all. I think that the Mac version does not have shout support for streaming.


Thanks,

seems to work much better on linux
