Icecast Reviews and Details

• AzuraCast: A Simple, Self-Hosted Web Radio Management Suite

  I'm using icecast2 for that. The only downsides are that it does only mp3s and sometimes it goes mute after a track ends. A short silent transition track should workaround the latter problem but I never managed to make it work. I configured a hotkey to restart VLC on my laptop instead. https://icecast.org/. - Source: Hacker News / almost 3 years ago

• 'A fluke': The oldest webcam is still watching over San Francisco

  If you want a very low FPS stream you can do what @TODO mentioned and just take stills from the camera and serve them in an HTML page and refresh as often as you like. Let the user refresh the page, or use javascript to do it automatically. If you want more of a "proper" video stream (whatever that means) one good choice is to use Icecast[1][2]. It makes it pretty easy to set up audio and video streams and publish... - Source: Hacker News / about 4 years ago

• The right direction

  If you're handy with Linux or willing to learn, you can't get much more bang-for-the-buck than using software from http://www.rivendellaudio.org/ to play sounds and https://icecast.org/ to stream it. It goes a little like:. Source: over 4 years ago

• I want to earn money with music

  You could check out Icecast. As the website suggests , is a streaming media (audio/video) server which currently supports Ogg (Vorbis and Theora), Opus, WebM and MP3 streams. It can be used to create an Internet radio station or a privately running jukebox and many things in between. It is very versatile in that new formats can be added relatively easily and supports open standards for communication and interaction. Source: almost 5 years ago

• A small live streaming music server

  If this is for fun, I'd recommend just using https://icecast.org/ as it will let you accomplish what you want and not spend weeks debugging buffer/stream code (this is from experience - we run a streaming service on Node.js that handles 100K+ listeners). Source: almost 5 years ago

• Want to possibly start my own internet radio network

  If you're into Linux you can run Icecast, many large online radio stations/networks use it as a distribution back end. Its free and open source so that's a plus too. Source: about 5 years ago

• Radio Stacey - online 24/7 shoegaze/dreampop station (put in the wiki?)

  Another cool thing you can do with VLC is save streams as a playlist. So for example here's what I do instead of using Spotify: find online streams on icecast.org in whatever genre I like, open them up in VLC, and save them as a playlist as my personal online favs. Now I have 30-40 online streams I can click on whenever I feel like hearing a certain type of music.

• Implementing Non-Trivial Containerized Systems - Part 1: Picking Components

  I first met Icecast (https://icecast.org/) when I worked at a web-hosting startup around the turn of the millennium. One night, one of my co-workers and I had the crazy idea to load a bunch of audio files on the networked file server and stream them to our workstations. We could listen to music while we worked 90+ hours a week. Strange times. After realizing it wasn't as simple as exporting .ogg files over HTTP,... - Source: dev.to / over 5 years ago

• Music server which can play different playlists simultaneously

  Oh, that's different didn't understand your question. I'd recommend trying out Icecast (https://icecast.org/) since it supports streaming a playlist over an internet radio of sorts. I don't think there's an easy way to skip a song, though. Source: over 5 years ago

• Setting up a vinyl player to an arc/sub

  I fixed it by hosting an icecast radio station on a Raspberry Pi with a Behringer UFO202 (€22,-) as input device and play the stream from the Sonos app. Source: over 5 years ago
