Re: Re[2]: Can Netjuke create MP3s on the fly?

hello

thanks for your reply
ok i got it working and am able to recreate mp3 on the fly

however

the apache associated with the process uses over 100mb of memory
and this is for a 3 minute song originally encoded at 128kb
it also continues to use the cpu even after the song is done playing
( this is as reported by top)

if i try to restart the web server
that particular process of it has to be terminated manually

if i dont restart the web server

then when i try another song i get
Out of memory: Killed process 1201 (httpd)
on the console
( sometimes the first song wont even get completed)

this is on a P3 450mhz with 256 mb ram
and 512mb swap
redhat 8.0 with apache 2.0


here is my playmp3.php

<?php

$filename = $_REQUEST['mp3file'];

$bitrate = 64; // desired streaming bitrate
header("Content-type: audio/mp3");
set_time_limit(1800); // maximum length of a song

echo passthru("/usr/local/bin/lame -b $bitrate -f --silent
\"/var/www/html/downloads/data/mp3/$filename\" - ");

?>



here is some output from top:
