This statement reminds me of IT crowd: "Have you tried switching off and on again"...

Hi Walu, Icecast is one-to-many, gnump3d is on-demand one-on-one - so in your community radio context, icecast is the solution. Cheers, Tony 2009/10/12 Arthur Buliva <abuliva@mobileplanet.co.ke>:

Hey Walu, Sharing a thot as I'm almost ready by Dec 1st week to go live testing. If you do not want the hastle and expense of streaming ( besides the local loop ), this service will be offered in January after dec tests are completed. Will inform you when operational. You can also try something called on flv..... Rgds, Aki.

Hi Everyone, This is old - i replied to Walu directly but i feel that probably for purposes of future reference for others - i can also post the same here. I have slightly edited the response - this is based on our experience doing live streaming of public meetings afew years back. There are to functions to streaming 1) The Server 2) The Source Client The Server The server was running icecast - www.icecast.org which is an opensource streaming multi-media application. This was easy to setup actually- it has an xml file for config and you just have to edit the options, i.e port folks will connect on, the server-name/ip address, admin username and pass etc. Then icecast is accessible via the web, hence after installing creating an alias on apache or just a virtual-host to the icecast directory should easily get you going. The Source Client The next steps are to originate the stream and send it to the server. There are various opensource capture tools that can capture (from varios sources including mic), encode the source file, generate a stream and send the stream to the icecast server (in mp3 or ogg format). This url has a list of source clients you can use - http://www.icecast.org/3rdparty.php We used Darkice, Muse and ices were the options we tried out. I think we used Darkice and Muse in some instances. We didnt have much success with ices that i can remember - but it works as well. In MacOS Nicecast works pretty well too. There are others too that you can give a try. I hope that helps. Regards, Michuki. aki wrote:
