]]> Comment on OGG to MP3 streaming howto – icecast and shoutcast by djscsi http://iwtf.net/2010/01/04/linux-ogg-and-mp3-streaming-server/comment-page-1/#comment-878 djscsi Thu, 26 Jan 2012 22:27:44 +0000 http://iwtf.net/?p=128#comment-878 I wanted to update the people here who have been asking about sending metadata (current song) between icecast and shoutcast. We couldn't get that to work after a bunch of messing with the 2 servers, and didn't see a good place in the perl script to include it, so my solution was to write a bash script that pulls song data from icecast and sends it to shoutcast via the admin web interface. This script is just a loop that periodically gets the current song from icecast, encodes it into a URL friendly format (urlencode), and sends it to shoutcast using curl. The script is added to the start.sh and stop.sh scripts that are called when the icecast mount is activated (where the oggtoshout perl script is called). It is not a clean or pretty solution - but it works, and solves the problem of the metadata getting eaten by the transcoding. Also I would like to thank the author for writing this guide, as it was instrumental in me getting this all working. I'm now successfully streaming directly from Traktor to Shoutcast-only stations and sending song IDs, and couldn't be happier!

I find it very frustrating when speaking to overseas call centres as most agents are given pre written scenarios and a rarely able to actually help with much other than standard, bulk queries. Im not sure how stating the truth, that many overseas agents speak english as a second language, could be construed as racism. theres no pleasing all of the people all of the time I suppose. For the benefit of the user "Reader" I would like to point out that I speak several languages and have lived all over the world, including many years in countries within central Asia.
