Topic: BASS_Encode_IsActive returns 0

[axisdj]

Hello,

I am using BASS_Encode_IsActive to confirm I am connected to an IceCast Stream service. Occationally BASS_Encode_IsActive returns 0

When this occurs I call BASS_ErrorGetCode() which returns 0

I also check BASS_ENCODE_COUNT_CAST and  BASS_ENCODE_COUNT_OUT which generally returns a pretty high ratio 1 to 1 or 99.9

Any ideas of how to get a better understanding of why  BASS_Encode_IsActive returns 0

In this case I attempt to reconnect to stream server, which works, but I would like to understand why this occurs.

thanks

You can use BASS_Encode_SetNotify to request a callback when the encoder dies, which will also give you a reason for it. Please see the documentation for details.

the notify triggers error 2 BASS_ENCODE_NOTIFY_CAST

Is that a stream server issue?

[Ian @ un4seen]

That means the connection with the Icecast server was lost. It could be a server issue, or just the internet connection between you and the server.
