Vorbis Streamer (foo_vorbisstream) Options

[Canar]

Uh, that's not a normal components list. Preferences -> Components -> Hit the "Copy" button on the top-right, paste here.

Also, something to try would be to put the Resampler, set to resample to 44100Hz, above Vorbis Streamer. I have a sneaking suspicion that will eliminate the problem. I'm currently waiting on a certain change before I reinstall my development environment, at which point I can roll a build with proper debug information. Until that point, however, try the Resampler. If that solves the problem, I just need to get v1.1 out, which will replace the old, crappy internal resampler code with a call to PPHS or SoX.

[Tomacco_Boy]

Sorry for the components list muck up, and here's a proper one. I will try the resampler and report back with how it goes, i do have a quick question tho.

Would using a crossfader be advisable or a bad idea

Thanks for the great plugin, much appreciated! I love Vorbis but MP3 support is essential too. Any info on implementing lame_enc with Vorbis Streamer?

It's on the TODO list somewhere. I don't even have a working build environment on my current install of Windows, but it's coming.

Should not be the slightest problem.

[Tomacco_Boy]

The resampler tip you gave seems to have stopped the crashes, so far so good.

[Canar]

Sweet! Crash cause isolated. I'll rip that garbage out in the next version.

[saivert]

Crash when loading DSP preset featuring foo_vorbisstreamer and the configuration is incorrect (like wrong icecast passwors, wrong hostname or wrong port).
UI deadlocks.

[odyssey]

Is it somehow possible to avoid the stream to be interrupted? I.e. the stream should run regardless if music is playing or not...

[Zarggg]

I'd +1 that request if I could figure out a way to justify it. It might come in handy if I could interject a microphone recording (i.e., "live"), but there's no way to do that with this.

[Canar]

edcast has the other behaviour. If you want that behaviour, just use edcast. I don't personally like that behaviour, I prefer the status quo. Hence, the status quo.

There's an off-chance I could add that as an Advanced option, but that would require me working on this component, and my progress in my TODO list is slow. What's more, things seem to keep getting tacked onto it faster than they're coming off. Fortunately, my productivity is greater lately. There is hope!

[Zarggg]

One of the main reasons I started using your component was because edcast was being retarded.

It's not a high-priority feature for me anyway, just kind of a "would be nice if I ever wanted to do something with it".

[Canar]

Another feature idea: A "Test" button on the server configuration dialog.

[Caleb]

This is truly a great component Canar.

edcast was freezing my foobar intermittently so I had to look for alternatives, and your component is rock solid.

I'd like to repeat the previous requests of being able to stream MP3 as well, for backwards compatibility.

Thanks!

[ChronoSphere]

Agreed, many still use WMP/embedded WMP on websites and as far as i could test it, WMP doesn't play vorbis.....

[Hancoque]

Nor does iTunes. So MP3 support is quite important to reach every possible user.

[Canar]

I am not concerned about reaching listeners with this component. Those who find it useful will use it anyhow. I am concerned with good design. Modular codec support is a planned feature, but that is far ahead in the roadmap.

This plugin worked right away and I haven’t noticed any stutter or problem whatsoever when connecting to the Icecast stream. Very nice! However, FLAC support would make it even better! I know you’re working on it, but I just wanted to let you know that there’s one more person out here who very much would like that feature. I’ve tried edcast, but it doesn’t work.

/F

[posejdon]

Canar,
how install & turn subj on foobar v0968, short guide s-b-s 1,2,3,...?

[Canar]

There's a new version just around the corner featuring a whole load of bugfixes thanks to Peter. It'll be up just as soon as I can recall my password to the components site...

[Canar]

Version 1.1 is now up. Note that old configurations will break badly; you'll need to re-enter all the server information and make new DSP presets.

[greebo]

Is there an easy way to stop/pause streaming (to particular server) ?

[Canar]

If you use a DSP preset to save your settings, starting and stopping streaming is as easy as changing your DSP preset.

yep..that is one way to do it. thanks.

[RoadZilla]

+1 also for me regarding mp3 support. For a long time I used Ed Zaleski's 'edcast', but since he put his entire project on 'autopilot' (which means he keeps things alive without much proactive development), I am happy to see Vorbis Streamer as a very good successor. I stream my music to a Roku SoundBridge which unfortunately does not support .ogg format (except via FireFly server).

With foobar2k one of the two Edcast config files is always deleted when foobar2k terminates. I contacted Ed and received a special version that stores config files in 'User\Appdata', but this seems to be just a workaround.

I like the idea of using the combination of foobar2k, Icecast and promising cool Vorbis Streamer, but due to the necessity to have mp3 support I'll have to be patient and wait. Looking forward to seing this feature in a future release.

[wojtek]

Hi there, great component!
A simple request (or something in that matter) - would it be possible to somewhat "fix" situation when the Vorbis Streamer is loaded in DSP but there is no IceCast server running? This results in foobar2000 being very sluggish and unresponsive. Don't know - maybe an auto-disable function after failed attempt to connect to server? or at lest some error message in dialog box or console? (I was playing with the component yesterday and forget bout it today and spend about an hour trying to figure out why foo2k is acting up on me )
