Drop mpg123 andinstall madplayer... -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mark Kane Sent: Saturday, October 07, 2006 8:19 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [Asterisk-bsd] SHOUTcast MOH Problems
Hi everyone. I've read all over about known problems with mpg123 and MOH being choppy, but there are a few things different about my situation: 1) When on hold and having mpg123 play the stream, the CPU usage on the box still shows ~93% idle. mpg123 shows up as 0.0% usage and is quite a bit down from the top of `top`. 2) Initially when putting them on hold, it plays between 30 and 60 seconds of old audio that was on the stream in the past. Then after that 30-60 seconds, it does a hard cut into what is currently playing (which sounds pretty bad). 3) I'm doing SHOUTcast audio and not files, so I can't just switch to the native * mp3 player. I tried with mpg321 which does play the stream cleanly without skips or choppiness, but it's very low pitch which I found out is due to mpg321 not being able to output in the correct format. I have Zaptel (with ztdummy) loaded and it improved a little bit, but not a whole lot. Music on hold from the native mp3 player comes through fine so it's not a network, provider, or CPU issue. The sound of the "choppiness" is basically just cutting in and out every second or two. It's not super bad, but I'd really like to get it better if possible...or at least eliminate the 30-60 second playing of old stream data when initially putting anyone on hold before doing a hard cut to the current broadcast. Thanks very much in advance for any suggestions or ideas. -Mark -- Internet Radio: Party107 (Trance/Electronic) - http://www.party107.com Rock 101.9 The Edge (Rock) - http://www.rock1019.net IRC: MIXXnet IRC Network - irc.mixxnet.net (Nick: MIXX941) _______________________________________________ Asterisk-BSD mailing list [email protected] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-bsd _______________________________________________ Asterisk-BSD mailing list [email protected] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-bsd
