Hi,
I have now been able to create the "Live Streaming Server" for Solaris x86 that uses Icecast, Ices and Open Sound. You can download the package from: http://www.opensound.com/test/livess-1.0-i386.pkg Setup instructions are really simple and can be done on any machine with audio. Server Setup: ------------- 1) Must have Solaris 11 with Open Sound System - ensure recording is working by running ossrecord test.wav and speak into the mic and playback by typing ossplay test.wav. If you hear your voice you're set. If nothing is heard run ossxmix and setup the mixer so that the mic is the input source. 2) pkgadd -d livess-1.0-i386.pkg as root 3) edit /etc/icecast.xml and /etc/ices.xml and look for xx.xx.xx.xx and replace that with your machine's IP. 4) run /etc/init.d/livess start Client setup (windows, unix, macos) ---------------------------- Requirement: XMMS or Winamp or Windows Media Player or iTunes UNIX: In XMMS: put the mouse on the XMMS window press ^l and it pop up a dialog box in which you type: http://you.ip.add.ress:8000/opensolaris.ogg WINDOWS: In Winamp: hit PL button and press Add and select Add URL and in the box type http://your.ip.add.ress:8000/opensolaris.ogg MACOS: No clue if itunes supports ogg. Wait for about 20 seconds and you should now hear anything being recording on the server. There is a lag of about 20 seconds - nothing I can do about it - it's just buffering and encoding that takes time. THis version uses Ogg so we should be in the clear w.r.t licenses and other issue surrounding mp3. If necessary we can also record whatever is being sent out to the net to a file for archival. Give it a shot and let me know if there are problems. best regards Dev Mazumdar -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
