Radio stream?

[m@…]

Would be cool to have an online livestream, either repohosting other streams or allowing folks to swap-in their own stuff

Is there some sort of format you had in mind? It's pretty easy to set up icecast mounts.

[m@…]

not really! I assume mixxx can plug into the standard ways of doing a stream, having a web frontend for folks to access would be nice. relaying ​https://wjtbradio.com/ or other submitted radios would be cool too.

[talijacoyote@…]

That looks like it'd plug into icecast just fine, if wanted I can look at setting icecast2 up to start with, then we can figure out a front end? I don't think it'd be too hard to do something like probe the mount to see if it's online on a main page, and embed the mounts in a list with some sort of indicator, or list offline stations separately.

• ​https://sleepy.zone/ if they're ever back

whatever else

finn recommends ​https://github.com/ElvishArtisan/rivendell (​https://www.rivendellaudio.org) and also not icecast (do it straight from ffmpeg? this is a joke recommendation)

finn complains about chunking.

[talijacoyote@…]

I presume the streaming is handled better but that also seems incredibly overkill for a few streams, looking at its sales pitch. It looks like the way it is intended to be distributed is through a full install of Ubuntu desktop. I would really like to not have to administer an entire broadcast suite aimed at professionals just to relay a few streams.

If we want to go with something else that's fine, I will look around.
