Hello,

I want to build a streaming mp3 server on the WRT. Icecast (the server; http://www.icecast.org/download.php)
is available as source code and the client ices (sending mp3s or oggs to the server; http://www.icecast.org/ices.php) too.
The mp3s could get the WRT from a SMB-Share.

It's possible to build packages? Does the router (my: WRT54G 2.2) have enough power?

Thanks

Raymond

Well actually I'm trying to  port peercast on the openwrt.

This project is rather light and _should_ build and run with this hardware.

Any news about this?

Yes!

I'm waiting for upstream to apply an autoconf patch for a proper Makefile generation.

Then it will be easier to build the package!

PeerCast package is done!

Description: P2P audio and video streaming server
PeerCast is a fresh new P2P streaming server. It can stream music
and video from a broad variety of formats.
.
Many audio players can listen to peercast streams, as it's
been built to remain compatible with Nullsoft Shoutcast.
For more info, visit http://www.peercast.org.

With peercast you can stream video and audio, as well as relay peercast streams to all your local network from one single source!
All you have to do is setup a peercast on the router, and then get all the other local clients to listen to this source!

You can also stream to internet with a local network source etc..
Peercast accepts ices clients as well as many others.

The package is located at:
http://www.cti.ecp.fr/~beauxir5/peercast
it depends on libpthread and uclibc++ that you may find there also.
All you have to do is ipkg install it and then run /etc/init.d/S60peercast
You can access the server at: http://yourrouterip:7144/
The first password is hackme, you should change it asap

I'll be happy to have feedbacks, my email is: toots < at > rastageeks < dot > org

looks ok ! i installed it as ipkg -dest disk install .... then i have to copy files from /mnt/disk2/usr/share/peercast/html/en/ to /usr/share/peercast/html/en/. only password hackme dont work for me. dunno why.

i relay two mp3 streams on peercast on WL-HDD2.5 white russian rc4 , and after some time (a day or so) i am getting some crashes :

terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::bad_alloc'
  what():  St9bad_alloc
Trace/breakpoint trap

Did anybody managed to crosscompile ices ? or some alternative - light weight source client that would run on the same device and ogg/mp3 to peercast ?

i did not try this yet, since i made loads of modifications to my "old" peercast.
i would be interested if somebody found a way how to display list of available streams to normal users, not only via admin interface.
Also i suggest to take out meta refresh tags from peercast html by default.
Another issue is automatic appending .pls extension and renaming mounpoint to something like :
F369AA4034AB9FFF417A56926B91F3E8.pls
you cannot play this in xmms.
what i really like is automatic renaming of ogg video to "OGM". this should become standard.
Peercast works nice !

... so it has been quite a while .... Did anybody managed to crosscompile ices2 ?  Does it actualy make a sense - or is it too heavy for  BCM4710 ?
icecast runns nice (although no theora in), but i am looking for solution to use also a client source on the same box.

Yes , I think is the new proposal , ICECAST WITH THEORA SUPPORT IN THE PACKAGES ?

This would be totally usable :
openwrt routers can act as server well.
with ices can act as clients reasonably well with precodified files (forget about icecast and ices , use 2 routers for this)

forget about make ices encode inside the router
forget as live inputs inside the router (via usb devices , really not true , but this need encode , virtually discarder. )

But only the server passing video .... I think is reasonable , and not so difficult , we are talking to change source code from 1 package and test.

I haven't the knowledge to crosscompile (this is the needed for the testing , not ?) , never do , but if someone can point me I can work in this.

When installing Ices the installer doesn't return to Luci, How do I check if the Ices install hasn't gone wrong?

Alsa and sound-core are installed.   

I'd like to know if others also have the issue that the installer doesn't nicely finish in Luci (when installing from the WEBGUI)

A Cubieboard should be fast enough to do encoding. is there a way to calculate an estimate CPU load for encoding.  Todays SoC's are quiet powerfull. i'm curious if lower bitrates can be streamed reasonably reliable..

Say 8 bit.
