Ice, ice, baby

More and more I read and try, streamsicle was the perfect tool for my ourpose. Darn! The closest answer, my friend, may be Icecast. Here is a good intro article and very detailed howto documentation as well as an official documentation and F. A. Q.. I still need to figure out how to request and create playlist on the fly.There are some tools such as DarkIce, Sphinxter, Muse, and formentioned Tunez, but none of them seems to do what I want it to do.

One thing that I did figure out is Fedora Core 3 has its own Personal firewall, which I am sure I enabled while installing the OS but didn’t think about it. In order to get some ports working on the network, you need to open System Settings -> Security Level (or ) to launch “Security Level Configuration Tool” and in Other Ports section, add portnumber:tcp, portnumber:tcp.

Whoa, I just got it working! Commaned I used was /usr/local/icecast/bin/ices -d “my random Jazz tunes” -m radio -F /home/daigo/playlist1.txt -h daigo.homelinux.com -P PASSWORD -n “::: radio daigo :::” Yay! Ice, ice, baby!
