[Icecast-dev] Develop a radio client using Icecast server

[sanjay.girigoswami at wipro.com]

Hi,



I want to develop a streaming client application in LINUX platform which will use Icecast server to receive the stream and play the radio stations.

The purpose of the application would be:



*         connect with the Icecast server

*         get the station list from the server

*         get the playlist

*         play a radio station

*         fetch the metadata information.



Now my questions are:



1)      What will be the entry point for Icecast server

In case of SHOUTcast server, The entry point is "Genre". The Radio client first retrieves the genre list from the server and then get station list for each genre.



2)      Where do I find the query strings which will be sent to server to get the station list, play list url etc.

For example, in case of SHOUTcast server we send the below query to get the station list by Genre:

http://api.shoutcast.com/legacy/genresearch?(DEV Id)&genre<http://api.shoutcast.com/legacy/genresearch?(DEV%20Id)&genre>=(Genre name)



3)      Can you please share a sample client application code which uses Icecast server to retrieve the station list and play a station.





Thank you in advance.



Regards,

Sanjay
