YES. Streamsicle 2.0(beta) is as good as advertised and more. Much quicker, initializing notice comes with loading # of files, which is just fun to see how many songs I have. Interface is much more simple and useful. Love bread crumb. But with lack of documentation, it took me much longer to set it up than it needed. So here’s my own note and how-to.
HOWTO set-up/customize streamsicle 2.0 (beta) on your linux machine
- First of all, you need Java, J2RE. download rpm from Sun site and
rpm -Uvh j2re-version-linux-i586.rpm
- Download tar.gz file from Source Forge and untar it
tar xzvf Streamsicle-2.0Beta.tar.gz
- You’ll have streamsicle/ directory on your home directory (or wherever)
- If you are like me, changing port number from the default (8080) to something unique, you need to edit following file.
streamsicle/tomcat/conf/server.xml
file. Serch and replace 8080. (it only appear once.)
- Then you need to edit
streamsicle/web/WEB-INF/conf/streamsicle.conf
Just 4 places. streamsicle.playdir = yourDirctoryPath, streamsicle.host = nameOfServer, streamsicle.description = descriptionOfTheStream, and Password.
- cd streamsicle then ./streamsicle.sh You need not be root.
- Access http://servername:port on your browser and watch it go. Awesome.
That’s it. and to costomize the look of it, kudo’s to streamsicle team, just edit
steramsicle/web/look_default/streamsicle.css
now you don’t have to touch jsp files. Nice. Colors you might find and replace is #5b5b5e(bg) #6e6e9e(tab/top bar) #898989 (unselected tab) #e3e4e7(main background) and #f0f0f1(almost white box). Of course don’t forget the text link color (#4a5aa9) and hover (#9a7001), too. Then you need only change 13 images in steramsicle/web/look_default/img/ folder, change title bar.gif, icons/mini-nub.gif, icons/play38×38.gif, icons/play38×38.gif, and icons/play38×38.gif, search.gif and 7 headers. That’s it. Streamsicle rocks!
