WHAT IS IT ?
|
||
|
|
::::::::::::
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
ezstream is a command line utility which is a improved version of the old
|
||
|
|
"shout" utility. It enables you to stream mp3 or vorbis files to an icecast
|
||
|
|
server without reencoding and thus requires very little CPU. ezstream is
|
||
|
|
controlled via a XML config file (a few examples are provided in the conf
|
||
|
|
directory).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
ezstream can stream mp3 and ogg vorbis files as well as reading from stdin.
|
||
|
|
Currently, reading from stdin is not working under win32.
|
||
|
|
ID3v1 tags are supported in mp3 files and all ogg vorbis tags are propagated
|
||
|
|
as metadata as well.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|

</ezstream>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
URL - this URL specified the location and mountpoint of the icecast server
|
||
|
|
to which the stream will be sent.

||
|
|
SOURCEPASSWORD - the source password for the icecast server
|
||
|
|
FORMAT - either MP3 or OGGVORBIS, you must specify which format you input
|

|
files are in.
|
||
|
|
FILENAME - This can be a single file (in which ezstream will stream that
|
||
|
|
file over and over continuously) or can be a .m3u file which
|
||
|
|
is a playlist of files. currently, ezstream will go through
|
||
|
|
the files sequentially. If you specify "stdin" as the filename
|
||
|
|
then ezstream will read the input from stdin.
|
