Icecast - Oct 2017 - convert public online radios to ogg and stream them inside company

Hello dear icecast fans,

In my company we have voip phones, that can also play OGG stream /online
radio streams/
There are some good public online radios, which however uses MP3 stream.

I want convert different online public streams from mp3 to ogg, and offer
ogg streams in my company, so our voip phones can play them.

Can icecast (ezstream,ices) be used for my scenario?


I tried a relay configuration (w/o conversion at the beginning) for one
public online stream:.

<relay>
<server>live.slovakradio.sk</server>
  <port>8080</port>
  <mount>/Slovensko_256.mp3</mount>
  <local-mount>/sk.mp3</local-mount>
  <on-demand>1</on-demand>
</relay>


but it doesn't work. In log file I found:
INFO slave/start_relay_stream Starting relayed source at mountpoint
"/sk.mp3"
INFO slave/open_relay_connection connecting to live.slovakradio.sk:8080
WARN slave/open_relay_connection Failed to connect to
live.slovakradio.sk:8080


Can relay feature be used for public online stream? or just for my own
primary stream?

Thanks a lot for any help and routing to right way.

For sure you can do it.

I do it too. I relay some others national radio streams that i use as 
fallback.


I tried to listen to <http://live.slovakradio.sk:8080/sk.mp3> in a simple 
player (XMMS). It seems not working.

Be sure your remote source is really available, then try again.


Regards.

I made a mistake but <http://live.slovakradio.sk:8080/Slovensko_256.mp3>
don't

Maybe i'm wrong, sorry if i've been useless.

- I was curious to know if the solution could be that simple thing:

You try to connect to port 8080, which is generally used for a web proxy.

So i just tried with port 8000, the default port for icecast.

It works !  ^^



So, try this :


<relay>
  <server>live.slovakradio.sk</server>
  <port>8000</port>
  <mount>/Slovensko_256.mp3</mount>
  <local-mount>/sk.mp3</local-mount>
  <on-demand>1</on-demand>
</relay>


Regards.

I might be wrong but icecast can’t do it on its own, what it receives is
what it streams.
That been said, your best bet is liquidsoap for transcoding and icecast as
a streaming server.

By that I meant, have liquidsoap fetch the mp3stream, transcode and shout
it to your icecast.
