No Data Flow Timeout

Hello,

I have been seeing in my tail log this very often.
â€œRE: No Data Flow Timeoutâ€

So I tried to see if I could get it to do it and sometimes I can not connect
with QCDPlayer 4.51, Winamp 5.0 with the mp3PRO plugin, Winamp 5.0, iTunes/4.7 for Windows, and WMP 9 and 10 I get:

â€œConnection Closed [L: 47] {0 bytes} (1 secs) RE: No Data Flow Timeoutâ€

It takes awhile before I can get the stream to work.
I see this often also:

â€œConnection Closed [L: 47] {12872160 bytes} (1577 secs) RE: Broken pipeâ€

Any ideas on the problem?

Thanks
John

Broken Pipe is normal

the No Data Flow is some kind of bug, which OS are you running steamcast on?

I'm 99% sure it's Redhat.

ok well I will repack it and send you a copy to test out on your system if you wouldn't mind?

I added a couple of things that I think might resolve it but without having it actually happen to me, I won't know until you try it.

I just hammered your stream a couple of times and it doesn't seem to be kicking me now

Perhaps I finally figured this one out.

Ok that fixed it.
Works like a charm!

Now I see:

"RE: Connection reset by peer"
is that the same as "Broken pipe" ?
looks like it.

Thanks an bunch!

You can pretty much assume that broken pipe and connection resets are committed by the client. Basically they stopped listening.

Ok great!

I love this server so far.
I had 100 people (full) on it today without any problems except for the "No Data Flow Timeout"

It will get hammered later today and I will see what happens!

Thanks Again for the help and great software!
John

Jay, i have the same problem here: No Data Flow Timeout

Winamp 5.08 says also: ERROR SYNCING TO MPEG.
What can this be?

again a bug has been fixed in the dev version, it will be released later this month.
