internet stream stuttering
Posted: 31 Jan 2015 18:38
Hello,
When we are trying an internet stream in our script (and also with modstream), the sound output is stuttering. Using loadtrack, and this only when using a stream as input (identified as stream1 over here). If we play normal songs, there is no stuttering
The first 5-10 minutes are working fine, then the "stuttering" starts. Every 5-10 seconds there is stuttering, sounds like he restarts every 5-10 seconds. If we do a 'next track' to a "local mp3", the stuttering is gone.
If we listen to stream1 directly, without propp, there is no stuttering.
We have the stuttering on the soundcard, but also on a dummy sound (nosound device) which broadcasts on a stream. (so also without using a audio driver, this happens)
We tried stream1 with 128K mp3 stream, aac 64, aac 96...icecast, shoutcast(1 &2) ..all the same result.
If we restart the stream in proppfrexx (for example, next hour), then the stuttering is gone again for 5-10 minutes.
If we use 'line in' as input in proppfrexx, and we send the stream1 to that line in (so proppfrexx isn't processing the stream , but winamp is), then there is also no stuttering. (note: on the same machine, which also proves that the system isn't overloaded or something).
We increased the internet buffer to 10-15 seconds even, but also didn't help anything.
Any idea what could be the problem?
