[quote author=”timmywa”]I just tried the new version and it kept throwing integer between 0 and 30 errors. And the sliders for the limiters are all jacked up showing some huge numbers. And the integer errors fill my screen if I slide those sliders!
Anyone else try this and have that experience?[/quote]
fixed in 3.23[quote author=”knigget”]
In Edcast (ideally!):
Stream 1 (AAC) = the unprocessed Pipeline1 (untouched straight from Sam, Winamp etc)
Stream 2 (MP3) = the processed Pipeline2Make sense?[/quote]
Not really … how does one get two pipelines to one edcastedcast (DSP version) can
a) get its input from a sound card
b) get its input via winamp dsp API – i.e. encode_samples(struct winampDSPModule *this_mod, short int *short_samples, int numsamples, int bps, int nch, int srate)as I said, from my end, I can "make" edcast able to handle multiple different sources – the issue is, what the sending end can do, i.e. HOW it intends to send two different streams of audio to edcast
[quote author=”Boki”]I today updated to http://users.tpg.com.au/rioradio/edcast … 1.1012.exe
All seems ok. (for now)[/quote]
dsp version 3.22 is badly broken – stupid sliders 😉version 3.23 is good
In edast? yes it is – sort of
I have an ASIO version which does that, mono only as that was the request I received – very specific audio card I have to say – the guy can play 8 different mono audio channels to it – each one available for input via an ASIO channel – each encoder in edcast can be configured to read a different channel – I’ve never tried to make it stereo – though, with the recent changes I’ve made, it would be easy to do so.
that’s the "standalone" version
the DSP version … can you send more than 2 channels via winamp DSP API? if so, I can say that it would be perfectly possible to do what you need. Of course, the source has to be able to send that way
Hello again
I don’t pretend to understand the why’s of limiter and/or pre-emphasis. I received a request to add these functions by someone who has a lot of "poor quality" mp3’s. Limiter was easy to code. Pre-emphasis, hell, I didn’t even know what it meant – so I looked it up, and coded it.
The guy with the problem swears his "poor quality" mp3’s are now "significantly improved" at the receiving end.
Hey, who am I to argue.
Anyway – I’ve added controls to edcast to play with limit level / pre-emphasis … limit level is probably WAY over kill down to -30dB 😉 pre-emphasis is 0 to 75us … I chose 75, because all my reading of pre-emphasis mentioned values up to about 75!!
Anyway – it’s there to play with – or not http://users.tpg.com.au/rioradio – I’ve significantly lowered CPU usage – the audio "paths" within edcast were over complicated with way too much malloc’ing going on for my liking
P.S. sorry jesseg if you received this in a private message … don’t know how I managed that!!!
[quote author=”JesseG”][quote author=”Boki”]So, Best what i can done is to put AAC (low rate) in FLA!
Patched IceCast Server with mountpoint yourstation.fla and some simple Web Player, like JWPlayer. Users will only need to open site. And music is there.[/quote]That works, but JW and flash player in general still are causing a "memory leak" of sorts from that, right? Or has that been fixed now?[/quote]
the memory leak is avoided by playing streams using a different method – learn about that here http://forums.shoutcast.com/showthread.php?t=325316 – that method allows mp3 and aac … also vp6 or avc video (i.e. nsv streams) in flashanother little change to attenuation … rather than combobox, enter a (positive) decimal value for finer control
Merry Christmas to all
[quote author=”Guillou”]Maybe a bug, when you change the name of log file, it doesn’t work. It only take the default name.
I installed it for Brekaway live and it always restart when you click "connect" only if you select somme attenuation ! (ex : -2db)
Moreover, in the installation program, I can’t install it in another path than c:program fileswinamp… the install button can’t be clicked.[/quote]
I had to change things quite a bit to properly support windows 7 – it may need some more tweakingthe per stream attenuation had two big bugs, fixed last night
[quote author=”knigget”]Also, a lot of changes (like genre, url etc) only take effect once you have quit BAL (thus ending Edcast) and restarted.[/quote]
That is a shoutcast issue, assuming shoutcast streaming – genre etc is set on connection
[quote author=”knigget”]I had this as well – I have this running on a VM and really didn’t want to install Winamp but its done now I guess. Even with the original Edcast, I got the impression that there was something within the Winamp program folder that was crucial for Edcast to run….?[/quote]
dsp version of edcast install uses the registry to find where winamp is installed, and will only install there – I could change it, or make a separate installer for "non winamp" dsp install[quote author=”sneradio”][quote author=”JesseG”]HE or PS profile? That’s an important factor at those bitrates.[/quote]
According to my Edcast config it is "AAC+V2 parametric stereo". I believe AAC+V2 implies both HE and PS profiles. Is that right?[/quote]
Correct, HE-AACv2 = AAC+SBR+PS – HE-AACv1 = AAC+SBR – see the table I’ve created at http://users.tpg.com.au/radiorio/ – the green boxes are the only valid combinations that work with enc_aacplus.dlllatest edcast enforces those combinations
FYI – with latest enc_aacplus.dll you wont need nscrt.dll – in fact, latest winamp does not come with nscrt.dll
