icecast

My icecast2 server is running and I can see my admin. My config file is setup also with a normal mount set. My source client is liquidsoap, this is my code: #!/usr/bin/liquidsoap # Log dir set("log.file.path","/var/log/liquidsoap/basic-radio.log") jazz = playlist("/var/www/html/stream/audio/mp3/jazz") popular = playlist.safe("/var/www/html/stream/audio/mp3/popular-music") radio = fallback( [ switch( [ ({ 0h-12h }, jazz), ({ 12h01-23h59 }, popular), ]), jazz]) #radio = random(weights=[1,5],[ jazz, radio ]) # Stream it out output.icecast(%mp3, host = "18.221.199.44", port = 8000, , mount = "ssp

I am creating a Samsung TV app for a radio station and they provide the "Now Playing" info within the Icecast stream. Is it possible to (and how do I) extract this information? Shoutcast supports " Icy-MetaData " - an additional field in the request header. When set, its a request to the shoutcast server to embed metadata about the stream at periodic intervals(once every " icy-metaint " bytes) in the encoded audio stream itself. The value of " icy-metaint " is decided by the shoutcast server configuration and is sent to the client as part of the initial reply. Check out this post on Shoutcast

I am trying to create a web radio server to stream 3 sources at once. I am using python to create a source client for icecast2 using the python-shout library. I am not too familiar with the language (python). however, i got a sample program which does what i need to and more and i have tweaked it for my need. However, I can only create two streams, and after that, i get the error message shown below. I don't know what i'm doing wrong so i hope you guys can help me figure that out. hostname ="localhost" port= 8000 password = "password" import shout import sys import threading from glob import
