I recently installed debian on my computer and want to use it with icecast2 and ices0 to stream my music.
Since ices0 can't be installed from the repositories I compile ices0-0.4 from source.
Most of my music is mp3, but some files are m4a.
I tried compiling ices0 with several other package, but can't find the correct options for MP4 support.
I have libfaad en libfaad-dev installed( I don't know which version), shouldn't this be enough for MP4 support?

When I run the ./configure of ices0 it prints the lines:

I ran whereis libfaad and found it was located in /usr/lib.
I included the option --with-faad, but than the script also gives an error it can't find libfaad.
I ran ./configure --with-faad=/usr/lib and got:

This time the configure script even stops.
Has anyone got any clue why I can't compile using libfaad?
Or am I missing a package that supplies some kind of libmp4v2 file?

Has anyone got a suggestion?

Thanks in advance,
Hugo

Either it is a misprint, or libfaad doesn't work without libmp4v2.
http://resare.com/libmp4v2/dist/
> libmp4v2-1.5.0.1.tar.bz2
... Install 'libmp4v2' and the error message disappears.

Ices0 .... todays version works .... ices-0.4.tar.gz is buggy.
http://people.xiph.org/~brendan/snapshots/ices0/
> > ices-0.4-20090525.tar.gz

!! Remember : ices0 depends on 'libshout'
# apt-get install libshout3-dev
.....
Other requirements : python2.5-dev, libmp3lame-dev, (libperl-dev).
.....
Good luck !

Thanks knudfl,

That gave me a push in the right direction.
I just tried compiling the snapshot of ices0.4 which has the same problem.
Apparently libmp4v2 is also need apart from libfaad.

Therefore I compiled libmp4v2 using your source.
I found a snapshot of it on googlecode earlier but ices wasn't able to compile against it.
So now I have a new version of ices-0.4 installed whihc is linked against libmp4v2.
Only .m4a files can't still be played because I get a segfault.

I hope to get that solved although I have now clue where to start solving a segfault.

False alarm, it all works.
Googled today and found that I should use reencoding. (Kind of a D'oh-moment, ices0 binds mp3 to icecast2, not m4a)
So now I can stream both mp3 and m4a.

What was crucial in my fix was a good version of libmp4v2 (instead of the snapshot from googlecode).
and maybe the ices0 snapshot also improved it.

Thanks for the help,
Hugo

some of you managed to compile ices supporting libfaad?
can you help me?

Yeah, of course you can get some help.

How far are you in the proces?
Have you tried compiling it already?
What is your host system?
Do you encounter any errors/warnings?

Or to rephrase that in another way:
With what part do you need the help?

I managed to compile and go to the end without error but not sure if the option "--with-faad" enables file support ".aac" in autoDJ or if it is not possible. Another problem I'm having is on the panel centovacast because it fails to recognize the duration of songs in AAC to add in the playlist.

Help me out here, what is autoDj and how do you combine it wiht ices?
For as far as I know ices does not have support for showing the song duration in some way.

I would like to ask whether your questions are about ices or the other programs you are using?
Because on things like autDj or centovacast I can't help you out.

Well, I'm using the auto-dj with "ices-cc" of centovacast. Already got a response Centova and the next version of the system will support auto-dj with aac plus.

Thanks anyway.
