Using a different streaming client, Nicecast, then Ladiocast.Swapping wireless routers (from Linksys to the Airport mentioned above).Streaming from 2 different computers, one ethernet cabled to the wireless router, one on wi-fi.I tried these things which had no effect: Switching from Icecast to Shoutcast (which we did.The host suggested these fixes (none of which worked): I never lose connection to the server, it doesn't shut down, but the stream is full of glitches and errors. 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.
