[How To] OpenWrt - Icecast streaming server over local lan and/or internet

Tested on Barrier Breaker, LEDE 17.01, OpenWrt 18.06 and 19.07.2 (does not work on newer releases, see below)

WARNING: DO NOT upgrade from libopenssl 1,0 to 1.1 or ICES won't work anymore.

note: USB /overlay extra space is needed to locally store the ".ogg" music files or else you need to mount an external network storage for this (adapt music path in config files for this case).

  • install software:
opkg update
opkg install libshout ices libtheora libspeex alsa-lib kmod-sound-core kmod-input-core icecast libxslt libcurl libvorbisidec librt
opkg install wget openssl-util 
opkg install libustream-openssl ca-certificates
  • disable icecast autostart at boot:
/etc/init.d/icecast disable
/etc/init.d/icecast stop
  • create local user (icecast does not start as user root)
opkg install shadow-useradd
useradd pilovis
passwd pilovis
mkdir /home
mkdir /home/pilovis
chown pilovis /home/pilovis
  • remove icecast default configuration file:
cp /etc/icecast.xml /etc/icecast.xml.orig
rm  /etc/icecast.xml
  • edit new icecast configuration file:
nano /etc/icecast.xml

  • create playlist file (you need to regenerate it every time you add or remove files in music directory):

Note: playlist ices repeat option with only one Ogg file listed won’t work

rm /root/playlist1.txt
find /root/music -name "*.ogg" > /root/playlist1.txt

  • reboot the router

  • start icecast and ices:
/usr/bin/icecast -b -c /etc/icecast.xml
/usr/bin/ices /etc/ices.xml
  • test icecast streaming server from your PC:

http://router-ipaddress:8000

cpu and memory usage - OpenWrt @300 Mhz CPU & 64 Mbytes RAM (32 is enough)

 PID  PPID USER     STAT   VSZ %VSZ %CPU COMMAND
 5479     1 pilovis  S     6904  11%   1% /usr/bin/icecast -b -c /etc/icecast.xml
 5489     1 root     S     6960  12%   1% /usr/bin/ices /etc/ices.xml

note that icecast runs as normal user "pilovis" and ices as user "root"

If you have a router with just 32 Mbytes of ram memory, I would suggest you to install zram-swap package to virtually increase the available ram:

opkg update
opkg install zram-swap

ZRAM is a script to activate swaping on a compressed zram partition.
This could be used to increase the available memory, by using compressed memory.

Streaming server autostart at boot

nano /etc/rc.local


# Put your custom commands here that should be executed once
# the system init finished. By default this file does nothing.
/usr/bin/icecast -b -c /etc/icecast.xml
/bin/sleep 3
/usr/bin/ices /etc/ices.xml
/bin/sleep 3
exit 0

note: icecast and ices need some delay when launched at startup by rc.local

beautiful OpenWrt embedded web player (using uhttpd) for your Streaming server,
no client required to listen to the music, just use Firefox browser on your PC/Smartphone/Tablet to open this page and enjoy listening to the music.
This web player page has integrated start/stop and volume controls.

note. it needs an internet connection to work since the skin and the player are hosted on an external site.

thanks to: https://sourceforge.net/projects/ffmp3/ and https://www.muses.org

note that the text at the bottom between the two bars is continuously scrolling from right to left.

on the above code change http://192.168.1.1:8000/Radio88 with your OpenWrt streaming router IP address
to get access to luci control panel use : http://yourRouterIP/luci.html
to get access to this player page use: http://yourRouterIP!

if you prefere hosting all files, including skin and flash player directly on the router (eg. for local streaming without internet connection), here are the files and the modified html code you need:

https://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/ffmp3/Version%201.2/muses-1.2.zip

have you created the playlist file?

Also note that the new IceS 2.x supports sending only Ogg Vorbis stream to an Icecast server, unfortunately it does not support MP3 streams anymore :frowning:

Yes, thats what ive found while documenting the issue.
thanks.

Audio Volume Normalization

Sometimes some of the .ogg files have bad audio volume, too low or too high.

An interesting solution to normalize volume to all .ogg fle (prior to be stored into openwrt):

ubuntu/debian required:

sudo apt-get install normalize-audio

nano normalize.sh

for audio_file in *.ogg; do
    normalize-ogg $audio_file;
done

chmod 755 normalize.sh

sh normalize.sh

or else

sudo apt-get install vorbisgain

vorbisgain *.ogg

Why not libopus and perhaps (if you have the requisite disk space) libflac? Opus is the more modern successor to the two codecs you mentioned. It covers both full-band music and low-band VoIP use cases. It's basically the swiss army knife of lossy audio, and then FLAC is for lossless.

Script to convert .mp3 audio files in .ogg

required ubuntu linux

sudo apt-get install ffmpeg vorbis-tools libvorbis-dev

cd to mp3 direcory and do the followings:

nano mp3toogg.sh

# script to convert mp3 to ogg audio files
for file in *.mp3;
   do ffmpeg -i "${file}" -acodec libvorbis "${file/%mp3/ogg}"; 
done

chmod 755 mp3toogg.sh

./mp3toogg.sh

If you have music files with spaces in filename, it is better to rename the files removing spaces, this is the shell command (replace space with underscore):

for f in *\ *; do mv "$f" "${f// /_}"; done

To remove all weird characters in filename except underscore:

for file in *; do mv "$file" $(echo "$file" | sed -e 's/[^A-Za-z0-9._-]/_/g'); done &

Because flash player is not anymore supported, this is a simple html5 player to be hosted in the openwrt icecast router (in /www directory)

Assuming your router IP address is 192.168.1.164 (change it in the above code):

to get the current playing song:

tail -f /tmp/playlist.log

the result in my case is the following:

21/Oct/2021:18:15:55 +0200|/Radio88|1|Shania Twain - GOD AIN'T GONNA GETCHA FOR THAT

to get just the current song name:

tail -1 /tmp/playlist.log | cut -d " " -f "2-" | cut -c 18- 

to get the current playing file:

tail -1 /tmp/ices1.log  | cut -d " " -f "6-"

This is my OpenWRT Internet Radio Receiver:

I want to pipe from librespot to sox and then into my icecast but something went wrong all the time.
This cmd worked to create a mp3 file wich sound fine.

./librespot --limit-sink-write --disable-audio-cache --backend pipe | sox -t s16 -r 44100 -c 2 - -t mp3 - | tee song.mp3

But how is the way to pipe something like this into icecast or ices?
I thought I need to do it with stdinpcm as input....
