Connession problem

[retesmash]

How come every day S2 I must restart the server?
Have noticed that the connection is not stable!

If you server is inactive for more than a few hours then it is automatically shut down. This is because a lot of people sign up and only use their server a few times and leave it on - this leads to the servers crashing every few hours.

With this system, the servers crash much less often and I'll soon be adding a new server to the network to further improve the situation.

I am having this problem too. At first it wasn't such a problem but the last couple of days it has gotten worse for me. I have music playing and after awhile my server shuts off. I have to restart every so often. I understand if this happened with streams that werent playing anything, but is there a way we can look into this and maybe fix it? tryto make it better at least?

well actually my problem seems to be with winamp. It seems like winamp stops playing at some song on the list. No idea why, after it ran through the whole songs list the first time, now it stops after 10+ songs for no reason. i check the songs there are no errors.

Do you know if your MP3 settings are changing with the new song? It may be that your source doesn't re-encode the MP3s before sending out the stream, so any samplerate changes will stop Winamp.
