Hi,
Here is an issue I am getting for some time now but that I cannot fixe, hope you can help.
I regullarly, let say 15 to 20 times a day have someting like 2 seconds blank in the stream. No audio. Nothing wrong from RB point of view, no error, no disconnection from IceCast. Icecast is configured to play backup file in case of source drop, but it does not switch to backup file at all.
From client/listener side there is a 2 to 3 seconds blank in the music, sometime it's just 1/2 second. Sometime winamp says buffer 0% and then stars playing again. Most of the time listeners are not getting disconnected. But it's really annoying.
Just to remaind you both RB server and Icecast are running on virtual machines on the same guest. I also broadcast an external stream receive from yhe Internet on the same Icecast and there is no blank.
It seems to me that RB sometime run out of streaming to IceCast but not long enough for IceCast to disconnect source!
Is there a way I can artificially increase by 0.1% the anount of speed RB is playing and streaming to IceCast ?
Tere is no sound cart on the virtual machine so RB is configure with "No sound" and the "Do not limit decode rate..." option is checked.
Seens to occur more often when intensive use of overlaping tracks with using "Intro" "Outro" triggers ie a jingle playing over the begining of a track, or when starting playing a long file with "Intro" trigger set.
2 RB VM:
RB version: 4.7.7.0
Virtual Machine on Citrix XenServer
Win XP Pro SP3
2 vCPU 1 Go Ram : Average CPUs load 24%
2 mp3 encoder 128k + 320k
1 AAC+ encoder 40k
Network: Internal (Citrix internal 1Gb LAN)
IceCast 2.3.2:
Virtual Machine on Citrix XenServer
Ubuntu server 11.04
1 vCPU 2Go Ram CPU : Average CPUload 16%
Network: Internal (Citrix internal 1Gb LAN) + Internet bridged 100Mb

Average CPU 65%
Thanks for your help.
