I tried running Software Update but I already have the latest versions of everything.
After reading FAQ and checking other problems, decided to try installing frameworks separately in case that was a pre-requisite. (I thought the frameworks was included in XiphQT 0.1.5 - but hey, I am getting desperate now!).
Downloaded Xiph Frameworks (20060508) and retried installation of XiphQT - but still had the same problem, unable to select a drive to install on.
Tried a restart (just in case!) and then retried installation of XiphQT again but was still unable to select a drive to install on.
This is the first universal binary I have tried to load - I am assuming that it is supposed to run on a PPC machine? (I thought the Universal meant it would run on both Intel and PPC machines.)

## SUMMARY
Currently it is not generally possible to display ('play') theora content without
copying decoded frames at least twice - once from libtheora memory to user memory, and once from user memory to display memory.
This proposal suggests the addition of two API calls that add the concept of a "shared" buffer, allocated and freed by the user but lockable by libtheora. With such a buffer, one of these copies can be eliminated.
## THE PROBLEM
libtheora provides decoded frames in memory allocated and owned by libtheora (through the theora_yuv_out function call). libtheora does not guarantee that this memory is valid following subsequent theora_packet_in calls. Hence, the player application must either copy the decoded frame directly to the screen, or copy it to a buffer for later display.
However, it is undesirable to copy the frame directly to the screen, as this will lead either to unpredictable display times or an inefficient use of available time (the player must either display the frame as soon as it is ready or wait until the display time of the frame arrives). Hence, players must in general incur the cost of copying the frame to a temporary buffer owned by the player application.
## THREE PROPOSED SOLUTIONS
(1) One solution would be to add a single API call to libtheora:
```
theora_unlock_yuv_buffer(theora *, buffer *)
```
libtheora would then avoid freeing frames that have not been explicitly unlocked by the user. This approach has disadvantages:
* the behaviour of the library changes (legacy applications will stop working due to memory leaks)
* an additional function call per frame is required for normal operation of the library
(2) These disadvantages can be mitigated by requiring the user to lock buffers
first:
```
theora_lock_yuv_buffer(theora_state *, yuv_buffer *)
theora_unlock_yuv_buffer(theora_state *, yuv_buffer *)
```
libtheora would exhibit the same behaviour in the absence of these functions being
called, but would not free frames that have been locked by the user until subsequently unlocked.
(3) Another approach is to allow user-allocation of buffers:
```
theora_user_yuv_out(theora_state *, yuv_buffer *)
int theora_user_buffer_is_freeable(theora_state *, yuv_buffer *)
```
In this case, the user can provide user-allocated memory into which theora decodes the frame, and theora can indicate that a user-allocated frame should not be freed (for example, if the frame is a reference frame). Normal operation of the library is unchanged.
This approach has the additional advantage that the user can tailor memory use to the application and environment - restricted-memory embedded systems can avoid malloc and free, while directX-based systems can provide memory already allocated as a directX texture.
## RECOMMENDATION
Given that this problem exists, and is fixable with minimal API modification and no perceived change for existing applications, I would suggest that we consider fixing it. I currently favour approach 3, as it is more flexible, however this approach also means more work for the application designer that wishes to use the new feature.

I downloaded some zipped free .ogg files from the BrianJonestownMassacre (band) website and followed their sketchy and not very in depth instructions. Files now are unzipped and in .ogg format. i want them to play in Itunes. I downloaded the XiphQT components recommended for modifying the files to play in Quicktime/Itunes. For some reason after following installation procedures the OS claims the Software was succesfully installed but I can't locate it, (though the installer files & other stuff are on the drive.) It does not appear to be properly installed in spite of what the OS tells me. My drive has a partitioned with a drive for software and one for audio. All Itunes files are on the audio drive. What I want to know is how to get these files into Itunes so I can listen to the music.

it would be nice that converted to 2 channels if number of channels is not supported by the sound card (e.g. my i810 only supports 2 channels)
it would be useful that ao_open_live returned a detailed description of the error when failing, since now it only returns NULL and sends things like "libao - OSS cannot set channels to 1" to stderr.
and also it would be nice a uniform method for selecting which sound card to use. say, sound card number n, with 0<=n. currently oss and alsa09 have different options for selecting sound card number and it needs a device name.Monty MontgomeryMonty Montgomeryhttps://gitlab.xiph.org/xiph/xiph-qt/-/issues/952track number is not recognised when importing OGG files2009-06-29T17:04:22ZGitlab Bottrack number is not recognised when importing OGG filesI just imported a huge set of OGG files into iTunes 6.0.4 (3) on MacOSX 10.4.6(Intel)

Even when incomplete, the end of the timeline corresponds to the end of the full-length media. The timeline is also shaded to show what proportion of the file has loaded, and the playhead will not move beyond this point.
When playing Ogg media like this. This progress bar feature does not work, the entire bar is shaded as soon as the player appears. The end of the timeline also currently corresponds to the end of the downloaded portion of media, meaning that when playing & downloading at the same time, the playhead will reach the end and then start to move erratically backwards and forwards as downloading continues.Arek KorbikArek Korbikhttps://gitlab.xiph.org/xiph/xiph-qt/-/issues/894Can't burn OGG tracks to CD from iTunes2007-08-28T19:53:39Zt3rminCan't burn OGG tracks to CD from iTunesI'm sure this is related to the various other limitations imposed by Apple's closed API, but I thought I'd report it as I didn't see a ticket for it.

In order to alleviate the traffic on my internet broadband link, I use an Icecast relay on my local network. It retrieves a single Shoutcast stream from the Internet and all the local clients get their streams from it.
Icecast has worked very well in that capacity but has always suffered from a minor shortcoming. Many popular Shoutcast stations provide the same stream through multiple servers. Unfortunately, Icecast 2.3.1 only allows the specification of a single master server for each relay section. So if that master server refuses the connection there is no way to tell Icecast to try an alternate. I've coded a patch to the Icecast 2.3.1 source that allows the specification of multiple master servers. For each relay, Icecast will try each of the multiple servers that can now be specified till a connection is achieved.
The relay section in the icecast.xml file now looks like this:
<relay>
<servers>
<server>
<ip>64.236.34.196</ip>
<port>80</port>
</server>
<server>
<ip>64.236.34.4</ip>
<port>80</port>
</server>
</servers>
<mount>/stream/1048</mount>
<local-mount>/stream.mp3</local-mount>
<on-demand>0</on-demand>
<relay-shoutcast-metadata>1</relay-shoutcast-metadata>
</relay>
If anybody's interested and in the spirit of open source development I've made the patch available as a contribution to the community. It can be downloaded at http://www.dillobits.com/icecast-2.3.1-patch.txt .

Using QT player with this plugin on a streaming ogg file uses between 10% to 20% of CPU power. In contrast Whamb 1.2 uses 2% to 5% CPU power on the same stream.
The ogg continues to stream after I hit the pause button, wasting bandwith.
QT player caches the ogg stream leading to odd behaviour. So after I close the stream window and attempt to open it again the stream will start at where I had first started in the last session and end where I had closed the session, not allowing me to go any further. I worked around this problem by emptying the cache in system preferences and then restarting QT player.Arek KorbikArek Korbik
