[PD][announce] oggcast~ ogg/vorbis streamer

[Olaf Matthes]

Hi,

which server are you running? We experienced some problems on Win98 with
JRoar, but Linux with JRoar and IceCast2 should work. Do you get any error
messages or does Pd crash?

I just uploaded the latest oggcast~ 0.1c.zip to
ftp://ftp.muart.de/akustische-kunst/pd/oggvorbis/. There are also the
Versions of IceCast2 and JRoar I use on my win2k machine (as well as the
Winamp Plugin needed to play ogg/vorbis streams).
The only bug I can reproduce on my machine is a crash of Pd when the
server refuses to receive the stream (send() in oggcast~ returns an error
message). In this case I get an access violation in vorbis.dll (the
'general' vorbis library on win) and Pd crashes.... I'll try to fix this.

Olaf

PS: Yves, as you can see there are some problems that need to be solved...
maybe next week: playlist for win...
