[Question] MPC-Radio

[Ping_pong]

I have since today problems with MPC-radio, every minut the radio is re-buffering Mediaplayer. This is really anoying when i listen music.

This only happend today, so i wonder how come. Is it because the Dj his upload is set too high?

I have 170 KB/s download so that shouldn't be a problem :S

Eerm, i think i needed to post this in this section, right? :x

Yea, ur right to post it in this section.

Well i had some problems with my system so it could just be me... try again tomorrow, i have to restart now because my sound card is corrupt and i cant hear anything anymore... (Thats prolly it)

There's nothing wrong with u... well with ur system anyways... :P

its because of the upload rate you guys have ... put the music birate on 40kb . because if you set it higher like 90kb means. you send +- 90kb to a person ... give it to 20 ppl well then its multiplying lol. anyway it has to upload first to the server and then the server sends . also the buff can be caused trough bad routing by the server. like i would connect to a 20mbit line in china where i only could download on a speed of 30kb/sec instead of 2.8mb/sec. in my own country on a 20mbit line.

correct me if im wrong

you are actually wrong :x

the dj only needs to push one stream up to the server so 96kbps would mean the dj has to upload to the server at a constant speed of about 13kytes/s (it's 12kbytes/s plus overhead which is usually around 1kbyte/s so 13kbytes/s total)

now since most ISPs post stats in kbits/s that means the dj has to theoretically have 104kbits/s upload to be able to stream at 96kbps, now because of other overhead that's not tru and at least 256kbits/s upload is recomended.

this server here is on a 10000mbit backbone (yes 10,000 not 1,000 I didn't typo) so the server itself is not a problem especially since Ping_pong said himself that he had no problems beforehand. the problem was probably just in the streaming software that one time or something, shit happens.

I can perfectly handle the stream and browsing [not intensive tho] on my 128kbps up speed
