Icecast - Jan 2005 - .mp3 and .ogg streamed both as .ogg

Hello..

Im a new icecast user.
Im making an application, that  selects from my collection of mp3s, oggs 
(and flacs) and let them be streamd to icecast2. This takes the input 
from a PostgreSQL table, wich gets modified...

So far, im using ices, wich seems nice, becouse i can use the <script> 
type and it executes my_script to search a file, so ices takes that info 
(i.e. "/dir/my_file.ogg") and streams that file.

It works ok. But only for .ogg files. Im streaming to 
http://url:8000/example.ogg

Is it possible to stream there mp3 files?  i.e. How would i transform a 
mp3 to ogg in a streamed way, so i can let my script pipe the mp3 to ogg 
transformation and stream the ogg output to icecast?...



Thanks in advance!

Hi:

You could invoke a decoder like mpg123 or madplay and get it to decode to 
PCM, then take the PCM in via stdin and get Ices to encode and transmit. 
Though I think you might ahve to get ogg via stdin if you're using a 
script, so put ggenc in the pipe.  Now how you invoke it for those files 
alone is going to be a bit tricky.

Same with FLAC too I guess, though maybe FLAC input could be added to Ices 
(it's probably not that hard but I'm not a developer).

Geoff.
