Hi list,
About 4 years ago I did some streaming with icecast v1 - mostly just the audio
of monthly user group meetings, with at most 20 clients. (normaly about 3.)
I just got the OK to stream the audio from the 3 days of PyCon (
http://us.pycon.org Feb 23-25 ).
There will be a KuroBox hooked into the sound system in each of the 3 conference
rooms http://www.kurobox.com/revolution/what.html - last year they were used to
record the audio. They will be there again this year. I am assuming i can use
jack or something to tap into the lame encoding? and stream that to the ice-cast
server.
I have a T1 to host a server off site, so that we are not relying on the
Hotel's
bandwidth.
I have 0.0 idea how many people will want to tune in. I hear many of the 600
attendees may want to listen to 2 sessions at the same time. So it is worth
setting up a 'local' server just to keep the traffic off of the hotels
bottleneck.
Why am I posting? I am running out of time to actually implement this, and am
hoping someone will say "oh yeah, easy. you do X and I'll take care of
the rest."
So, anyone game?
