Josh, this might help. I am the tech for Eargazm, an internet radio
station that's been live since 1999. (Are Internet years like dog years??)
We do a live show bi-weekly, then play from the archives the rest of the
time. We have icecast and liquidsoap on the same streaming machine.
Listeners connect to icecast on port 8000.
This is our main script:
=======================================================================
#!/usr/local/bin/liquidsoap
# Set our environment
set("log.file.path","/tmp/eargazm.log")
# Build the input source
# /usr/local/etc/playlist is a file that contains the full pathnames of
# the archived shows we want to play.
radio = playlist("/usr/local/etc/playlist")
# This line listens to port 8010 for activity
full_live = input.harbor("live", port=8010, password="notreally")
# This line says that if there's activity on the full_live port,
# broadcast it. If not, fall back to playing from the playlist.
input_src = fallback(track_sensitive=false, [full_live, radio])
# This section sends the output to icecast
output.icecast( %mp3,
host = "localhost", port = 8000,
password = "notreally", mount = "hires.mp3",
description = "Eargazm in your ear",
url = "http://www.eargazm.com";,
mksafe(input_src)
)
=======================================================================
I am currently working to get the on-air studio to send out an icecast-
compatible stream on port 8010 from the Mac there, but there have been
a couple of issues. First is that there's quite a bit of vinyl that
gets played, so we'd have to sent the mixer's output into the Mac and
convert it first. We've only managed to update the Mac to a dual-CPU
G5 machine in the last month, and I'm looking into ways to make that
happen which wouldn't affect the playing of songs from the local
iTunes library on that machine.
For now, there's an audio line out to the streaming machine, and when
we want to go live, we run another liquidsoap script (without killing
the main script):
=======================================================================
#!/usr/local/bin/liquidsoap
# Stream it out to the input.harbor on port 8010 so the main server picks
# it up and rebroadcasts it
output.icecast( %mp3,
host = "localhost", port = 8010,
password = "notreally", mount = "live",
description = "Eargazm live!", url = "http://www.eargazm.com";,
mksafe(input.alsa(bufferize=false))
)
# Save live transmission
output.file(%mp3, append = true, "/tape/newshow.mp3",
mksafe(input.http("http://192.168.1.95:8000/hires.mp3";)))
=======================================================================
When we run the second script, it takes the input from the soundcard,
converts it to mp3, and pushes it out to port 8010, which the main
script then sees as live and uses it over the playlist. When we're done
with the live show, we do Ctrl-C in the shell we ran the live script in,
and the pre-recorded show picks up right where it left off. As a bonus,
the live show is automatically dumped to a file for easy archiving.
I hope this helps a bit.
