- Short: Shoutcast/Icecast Amiga client
- Author: Sebastian Jedruszkiewicz
- Uploader: Sebastian Jedruszkiewicz <elf@frogger.rules.pl>
- 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.
