ICECAST Source Client please add

Postby javaboyuk » Fri Jul 06, 2012 12:15 am

Firstly, the systems works great to control what you want where.
BUT provided your on a computer/smartphone.

Today there are may devices that play mp3/ogg etc streams
such as Internet Radio devices and they can be in many different
opbjects, again smartphones and computers but also much dumber
devices such as:
TV
AMP

My request is.... can you broadcast a stream so I can "tune" my AMP
into it. Ie could be done by setting up an ICECAST server, which is
simple, BUT it needs feeding the source mp3/ogg stream to broadcast.
Can we get an option for an output "module" that will play a stream to
the ICECAST server?

the ICECAST guys have some simple source clients here:

ICECAST server is available here:
http://www.icecast.org/index.php

I had it up and runing on Ubunto 12.04 in about 30mins - the packages
are actually part of ubuntu so you can select them and get ubuntu to install
it then edit the conf file for iceserver to say URL and port and then edit
ICES to say the "mount point" its the bit at the end of the URL you give the
radio station and then ices <playlist> and it streams the listed files
to the icecast server, so so to my AMP, Iphone, machine at work etc etc.
