Knigget & Mick,
Ok, ran some test today on the server. First, because its a VPS server, I found out there is no audio support what so ever, which is why I am unable to run the Breakaway Lines and SAM with the Audio Card AGC. I found this out ever talking to godaddy tech support.
I also found out with their full dedicated boxes that the virtual audio cables would work. So, I believe that is the next logical step for us.Next, I ran the suggest test of streaming remotely to the server, and the stream test just fine with now buffer issues at all. Thus, I feel the issue lays in that the VPS is just not powerful enough to handle what we are looking for in our web based streams.

Few updates, looked to try the idea with SAM on removing the live link and using the pipeline. On the VPS the pipeline shows installed on VPS, but Sam doesn’t show it as and audio source nor does it on the windows audio sources. Wonder if this is something with godaddy’s VPS server. Wonder if it’s different on a dedicated box. Even tryed a fresh install.Also, edcast meters don’t read anything from Sam stream except showing its encoding.
I tryed using the Sam encoders to and does the same buffering even using Sam encoders.Here’s info from the test this morning.
All streams seem to be affected equally. Did test all night on the server, and
the streams all seem to constantly buffer after 2:38 secs.
We are running stream transcoder v3 – odd sock
icecast win32 v2.3.1I’ve tryed putting straight from SAMBC straight into the broadcast server and still buffers.
Also, was monitoring the server stats this morning, found that memory usage is sitting at 918meg, but processor (CPU usage) was jumping from 21% to 65+% constantly. Think this could be the culprit. Which seems pretty deadly for a VPS to jump that much.
