 n4ch723hr3r | i never used either of them thats why i asked if thats what your looking for | 13:58:18 |
|  @brisingr05:matrix.org left the room. | 14:00:52 |
 matthewcroughan - nix.zone | Navidrome isn't really for radio broadcasting to thousands of listeners, more for personal music collection | 14:01:54 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | I only see two options really, icecast or peertube | 14:02:48 |
| n4ch723hr3r | ohh for that liquidsoap looks promising | 14:03:13 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | liquidsoap targets icecast | 14:03:27 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | it has a hls output though | 14:03:39 |
| n4ch723hr3r | i thought liquidsoap can take icecast as an input | 14:03:58 |
| n4ch723hr3r | * i thought liquidsoap can take icecast as an input | 14:04:06 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | nono, icecast is where you output to | 14:04:26 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | icecast takes streams as input | 14:04:34 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | and then broadcasts them to many listeners | 14:04:44 |
| n4ch723hr3r | https://github.com/kenellorando/cadence
found this, but also uses icecast | 14:07:05 |
| n4ch723hr3r | https://github.com/cheatsnake/airstation
this seems to work without icecast | 14:08:54 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | Airstation looks nice yeah | 14:10:00 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | would be interesting if liquidsoap could add to it | 14:10:10 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | liquidsoap is the real language to use | 14:12:21 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | it's what https://somafm.com/ is probably using | 14:12:28 |
| n4ch723hr3r | most people porbably use youtube to be honest 😅 | 14:14:18 |
| n4ch723hr3r | * most people probably use youtube to be honest 😅 | 14:14:23 |
 emily | for HLS, MPEG-DASh etc. this is a totally generic widget | 14:14:34 |
| emily | HLS is specifically designed to work with a normal web server | 14:14:51 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | yeah, http streaming | 14:14:50 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | But I need to convince someone else who wants to run icecast in my space that they don't need icecast | 14:15:05 |
| emily | FFmpeg supports most of this stuff also | 14:15:06 |
| n4ch723hr3r | FFMPeg can convert m3u8 <-> audio files so you could just do that | 14:15:54 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | Why are there so many production systems still using Icecast? | 14:16:34 |
 toonn | Why mess with something that works? | 14:16:49 |
| n4ch723hr3r | because its good enough | 14:16:49 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | Only if you have a spare IP to dedicate it to | 14:17:16 |
