Oh, this seems very cool - but, it doesn't handle the actual streaming, am I right, just mixes multiple relay streams together? Or, does it actually stream from playlists on the server? If so, I'd switch in a moment! (I think I'm seeing different documentations from different times here...) I'm using eztream as my streamer for when my base computer isn't operating... and I had to hack it to fix the fact it didn't properly handle TagLib, and didn't report the "album" name. There's also a UTF-8 encoding issue with ezstream which I have proven to my own satisfaction by streaming the same single track from itunes/Nicecast on my desktop, and then from ezstream... I get the correct UTF-8 titles when using Nicecast, but wrong ones when using ezstream. I'm supposedly an expert on character encodings :-D but I haven't figured out exactly where the issue is in ezstream. I also have my own Python code to do things like "auto-Twitter" https://twitter.com/#!/swirlyRadioList You can see my code to do it here: https://github.com/rec/radio I haven't prettied it up for release but I tend to write fairly readable code.

[Icecast] Making a smooth transition between sources?

It is rather experimental for now but it should be live and documented soon! Romain
Wow, LiquidSoap looks really exciting, I'll definitely check it out! Je me demande pourquoi tous ces programmes excellents sont construits par des francophones... :-D On Wed, Feb 1, 2012 at 1:17 PM, Romain Beauxis <toots at rastageeks.org> wrote:> Hi Tom, > > 2012/2/1 Tom Swirly <tom at swirly.com>: > > Oh, this seems very cool - but, it doesn't handle the actual streaming, > am I > > right, just mixes multiple relay streams together? > > > > Or, does it actually stream from playlists on the server?
