Hi,

Thank you for building such a nice system with liquidsoap. And be
assured that your problem is not a major one.

This sounds like an inaccurate error message. We should fix it (i.e.,
file a ticket on savonet.rastageeks.org if we forget). Sometimes
several error of different natures are handled in a single place and
all reported with the same message. Bad.

It can definitely help. Also, you can directly dump the data received
by harbor by passing dumpfile="path/to/file.dump" to input.harbor().
You might not be able to read this, but you can send it do Romain and
he should be able to :p

This is definitely the reason. I recommend you try a little harder and
tell us about your problems installing ocaml-mad, because you just
need it. (There might be an alternative using an external decoding
program, but if possible mad is best.)

This is strange, maybe virtual DJ encodes as ogg but does not indicate
it properly to the shout/harbor server? That wouldn't be surprising,
because afaik ICY is only for MP3.

Apparently it's still rough on the edges, but I think Romain would say
that it's close to full support and he's commited to get that support
(I know because I wasn't and we discussed it).

I don't know. I don't see anything critical change in the SVN
regarding harbor by just looking at our CHANGES file. To be sure I
would have to read the full SVN log. I'd recommend to stick to the
0.9.0 that you have but get ocaml-mad with it. And switch to SVN if we
find out later that it is necessary: anyway if you're already building
from source the SVN is just as simple.
