losing relay connection about deefuzzer HOT 9 CLOSED

Relay mode needs some testing and verification. One of the last pull requests I made a few minutes ago #58 had a fix for an issue when using relay mode. I'm sending up another pull request for some regression issues then will investigate this one.

The AAC format is not supported at all by libshout, nor by icecast, nor by deefuzzer.
Please try with OGG or MP3.
Note that I've been using the relay mode in production for years, and it's very well tested and stable considering these formats ;)

Sorry I missed the AAC bit and honed in on the crash. It drives me nuts the number of people who are attempting to get AAC to work in audio streams when everything clearly states it's unsupported at every step in the chain except for the source.

That said, should we investigate an AAC audio streaming solution that deefuzzer can take advantage of?

from deefuzzer.

No pb ;) Yes me too, maybe we should add some warnings or skips when the mimetypes are not compatible...
On the other side, the fact is that the current relaying method is a curl callback pushing to any server accepting the type of request. I use it only now on video webm streams through stream-m (until I get it right on icecast) but it could work on any other format as long as the server accepts it. However, AFAIK, no open / free streaming server manage aac.
Anyone is welcome to test deefuzzer pushing on proprietary apps like Wowza or more but I personally don't have any kind of this stuff for the moment (I mostly build embed systems).

oh sorry I missed the aac too!

I solve this by using ffmpeg to convert live stream on the fly to ogg and then I put the ogg file in deefuzzer.

Great! So streaming from ffmpeg to the deefuzzer relay works well for you? Do you use a FIFO or a file for the ogg?

from deefuzzer.

I'm using file and It works fine.

Cool :)
