Usually after that, I’ll hear some streamed audio that skips forward, sort of like scanning a digital file, interruptions in the audio, etc. With the second host, I haven’t had any server shutdowns, but instead will stream successfully for 10 to 30 minutes, then start getting intermittent ‘blinks’ of AutoDJ content. I tried mono vs stereo, never could get a stable stream going, tech support could only tell me the problem was ‘on my end’, and I eventually decided to switch hosts. I couldn’t find the source of this alleged data doubling.
I first experienced a series of server shut-downs - the host told me I was ‘over streaming’, 256 kbps to a 128 kbps account. The modem feeds a wireless router (and I’ve tried 2, a Linksys EA7500 v2 and an Apple AirPort Extreme). We have a Comcast cable modem with d/l speeds of over 100 mbps and upload of around 12 mbps. I’m on Mac OS and have been using Nicecast (later trying Ladiocast). I’ve recently tried to launch a new streaming project, so I purchased precisely the same streaming product I’d had before, with the same host, same gear, only this time, intermittent issues have plagued me from the start. I was involved in a streaming project that operated with CentovaCast software (Icecast 2) for about 7 months with no issues, for whatever that’s worth.
A little background, I have a lot of audio engineering experience, and a little audio streaming experience.
