Shoutcast stream stops in web browser

Shoutcast stream stops in web browser

 

Hi,

We are running a Shoutcast server on our own Linux server URL submitted by user. port 8000.

On most of the machines the site works ok with good quality audio being played on the Flash player. But on some machines, stream gets stopped after 4-5min of playing. We tried with embedding Windows media player, result is same.(it means ,if the problem is of flash player, memory leack or client pull webcasting' (CPW). But its not working even if, when tried with windows media player plugin, its same, streaming stops. ) But the stream can be heard continously on the same PCs if we play the url in Windows Media Player or WinAmp.

So i really confused about, where and what is the problem

Any hint?

regards,
Sudeep

Try to use JW Player. If you have problems with it as well, you can try to increase the buffer length.

I had been used different player, but the streaming stops while using even windows media plugin in browsers.

But it works fine when it play The URL through Winamp player or media

Re: Shoutcast stream stops in web browser

 

Standalone players are much more reliable and I understand perfectly that your stream works in Winamp and WMP.

If you can't tweak your flash player to work, you should try other ones like JW Player mentioned above. The latter player works fine with Shoutcast/Icecast streams for many broadcasters.

The shout cast server is hosted in Linux based System. Do this could be the matter stops the player after 1 or 2 minutes whether its playing in Windows OS.
