Title: slow/break streaming
Post by: karthik on February 09, 2011, 11:01:24 am

Hi all,

I am using centova cast for running 3 streams. using servint`s dedicated solo450 server with 4gb ram and 500 gb and the configuration is good enough to use shoutcasting.

when i use winamp or vlc player to stream it works fine and it is streaming very slow in the below sites as a widget.

kindly advice

Are you saying your stream(s) are buffering? Don't think that would have anything to do with Centova Cast - how much traffic do you have on your server?

wow, that's low -- and that's usually what causes buffering, cpu. Is this on a VPS or Dedicated?

this is dedicated server

Maybe this is the problem

Default crossfade length for re-encoding: 0

what to replace with zero?

also in client side account in auto dj setup have this option

Crossfade length: 0 ?

a zero disables the cross fade, if you have the cross fade enabled, it does use up more cpu but not that much, not just a few accounts - you said you had used a total of 69G b/w in 20 days which is nothing, I'd say you had a server problem. Did you ask your Dedi provider ?  Also, read over that article and troubleshoot it.
