Or you could just use ffmpeg:

ffmpeg -hide_banner -i "${icecaststream}" -c:a copy -vn -strftime 1
-f hls -hls_time 6 -hls_list_size 10 -hls_segment_filename
"${hlspath}radio-%Y%m%d-%s.ts"
-hls_flags delete_segments -segment_format mpegts
"${hlspath}radio.m3u8"

then you just have a set of files for a normal webserver.

Note the c:a copy means there is no transcoding in this instance.

If theory the HLS spec only allows for mp3 or aac, but I've abused it by 
even using opus and not had a problem with the limited number of clients 
I've tried.

ffmpeg also does DASH.

My plans are to have live DJs in the future.
Will ffmpeg work with live DJs?
I know the Liquidsoap does.

Since we?re discussing HLS encoder options, there is also:

	https://github.com/ElvishArtisan/GlassCoder

Which does not require LiquidSoap, ffmpeg or even Icecast. Just aim it at a web
server or CDN publishing point.

Cheers!
