Short: Shoutcast/Icecast Amiga client Author: Sebastian Jedruszkiewicz Uploader: Sebastian Jedruszkiewicz Type: comm/misc Requires: mpega.library, TCP stack. What is it? ----------- StreAmi is an Amiga client for very popular audio streaming over the net. There are two well known streaming systems, Icecast and Shoutcast, which can send audio data over network compressed with mpg audio. StreAmi allows you to connect to such a server and listen to the audio in realtime. What you need? -------------- - mpega.library - TCP stack (Miami, AmiTCP) - fast internet connection. - about 300kb of free memory. How to use: ----------- StreAmi comes with MUI GUI interface. After starting you should change prefs files to anything you want. I wont explain here what all thse gadgets means. It should be quite clear. anyway: - Audio buffer size, describes how many audio is send to ahi each time. - Net buffer size, describes how many data is fetched from network (data is fetched in asynchronous way). If you do not understand what something means - do not touch it. If you know what everything means - write me a nice guide, I do not have much free time left for that ;). Now, you have your prefs set. from pulldown menu select "Server List" Add any serwer you want. You can find list of servers on http://www.shoutcast.com or http://www.icecast.org In this archive I have included simple list with 3 servers. Ok, now select you preffered server in main window, and click connect. enjoy. NOTE: Prefs and server list is stored in progdir: in text file. Do not mess with it unless you know exactly what are you doing. You have been warned. Suggestions: ------------ Send anything to streami@frogger.rules.pl Bugs, Not finished features, future: ------------------------------------ - Changing prefs on fly does not work. Only audio buffer size and net io size is updated. - Support for #?.pls files should be added. - CLI options whould be a nice idea too. - With slow connections sometimes audio goes crazy. Dunno why. - Maybe I will also create server, for sending audio streams to the net. - some of the errors are still displayed in CLI. - If connection is lost, everything will probably crash.
