Making a smooth transition between sources?

Rate this Message:
Hello!
I'm setting up an icecast radio station. I'll usually be broadcasting from this machine, but want to be able to make a smooth transition to an ezstream instance that I can run on the same server as the radio station.
Unfortunately, my experiments haven't found a way I can make a transition without knocking off all my clients. :-( _______________________________________________ Icecast mailing list Icecast@... http://lists.xiph.org/mailman/listinfo/icecast |

What are you listening with? I've noticed that some clients drop connections, like Flash, when mounts fallback while other, like iTunes, TuneIn, QuickTime mobile, don't.

I have a Flash player on my page - so that explains it.
Is there some sort of in-browser player I can use that doesn't have this property?
That leads to another good question - how can I create a link on my page that opens itunes directly? I have a link to a .pls file - but that downloads a file that then has to be opened to open itunes...

You could try a HTML5 player like jplayer http://jplayer.org/latest/demos/ You could use 2 mountpoints Ogg and MP3 to serve the maximum of people in HTML5 -- <-------------------------------------------------------> web perso : http://memeteau.com Boutique Ordinateurs GNU/Linux : http://shop.ekimia.fr Fixe : 0974763294 Mobile : 0624808051 _______________________________________________ Icecast mailing list Icecast@... http://lists.xiph.org/mailman/listinfo/icecast |

Wow, thanks Michel, this is a very deluxe looking player!
I looked on the xiph site for a list of embeddable players but there wasn't one... perhaps such a page should be added?
Thanks again, you'll soon see one of these players on my radio station, http://radio.swirly.com

Hi!
I use DeeFuzzer to push audio or video data as a relay for existing streaming stations (one reading disk files, one streaming live sessions). It provides OSC command scripts to hot switch. Check it out ;) https://github.com/yomguy/DeeFuzzer Cheers, Yomguy On 31/01/2012 02:58, Tom Swirly wrote: > Hello! > > I'm setting up an icecast radio station.

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"
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.

If you are looking for a server-side smooth transition solution then Liquidsoap should be your friend: http://liquidsoap.fm/ > I also have my own Python code to do things like "auto-Twitter" > > https://twitter.com/#!/swirlyRadioList The Flows service provided by liquidsoap also allows twitter push. It is rather experimental for now but it should be live and documented soon!

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
