[Icecast] Live streaming from Mac OS X

[Dwipal Desai]

Hi Geoff!
Thanks for ur reply

Is there a way to tell icecast that the stream is mp3 ?

Mac OS X has another way of live streaming using Quicktime Broadcaster, 
however, i am not able to make it work with MPlayer2. It works file 
with a quicktime client. There seems to be some issues with the SDP 
files that Quicktime creates for playing the audio and mplayer. 
Nicecast is kindof exactly what i want, but its not a freeware and i 
want to try the open source stuff first.

Basically, what i have is XBMC running, and want to send the local 
audio from iBook to xbmc, which is connected to the home theater. I 
would eventually like to use FLAC for compressing the audio, so there 
is no loss of quality.

ICES is not getting compiled on OSX, am getting error:
(I have installed the icecast/libshout libraries, havent tried really 
hard to debug ices yet).

Hi:

Not sure if I'm reading this correctly, but it looks to me that Icecast 
is thinking it's an ogg stream which might be part of your problem.
This is a fairly clunky way of streaming, surely there's something more 
conventional that can be used on OS X nowadays?  That article is 2.5 
years old.  I'd have thought you'd be able to compile Ices or Darkice 
under OS X. Or you could try Nicecast (I've not used it but it seems to 
be what you might want) - http://www.rogueamoeba.com/nicecast/

Best of luck.

Geoff.
