I've been holding off on rewriting this in java and attempting to add it
to fred for a couple of reasons, but I am going to do it in the near
future. it was only implmented in python because, frankly, that's what
I'm most comfortable in :-p. However, all of the technology *DOES* exist
for me to do this in java (there is even a java implentation of an ogg
encoder!)
fish's fred streaming blockers:
(a-1, of course, too, that i had to get an environment that could compile
fred - i went thoguht many, many different combinations of vm+compiler
before i found a set that would run ajd produce working code - and now i
can't run limewire anymore :-p. but i'm more comfortable in python than
java, so of course i'm gonna prefer to work out tricky problems there :-p)
a) there was a non-trivial discussion of changing the format of stream
metadata to be more "standard", which I fully support in principal,
however there was no concensus on this, or if there was then it flew over
my head
b) getting the technology stable - right now, an in node encoding tool is
less usefgul than it could be, because to avoid overloading your node, you
need to split your inserts accross two nodes for a 16kbps stream (this,
btw, is what I'm using the FCP load info for), however at this point, once
the format is stabilised, the decoder end isn't been changing too much.
c) that question of certain ogg players (of the same version!) playing at
double speed - this one isn't just me, it's come up on the icecast list as
well, at the very least, when i googled for it, but alas no solution,
other than "don't use mono ogg files!", which is , well, unrealistic given
network badnwidth constaints
- fish
p.s. as an interesting side node, a crazy fucker sent me a patch to stream
*live video*, tho his patch is broken and it's jumpy (as in, you have a
five or more second jump every two minutes), he is still clearly a crazy
montherfucker.
