Nicercast

Simple Node.js icecast compliant streaming server.

IMPORTANT NOTE - TYPESCRIPT FORK

This is a fork of stephen/nicercast that @jabooth undertook for fun in Dec 2016. I moved nicercast and a handful of other projects to Typescript and placed them under a new namespace at github/homeaudio in an effort to better understand and rapidly improve all these interrelated projects.

For now I'm maintaining my forks at github/homeaudio, but I would be delighted if these forks were re-unified with their original projects at some point. Given the extensive nature of the changes made though, I understand that this may be challenging for the original authors.

Installation

npm install --save nicercast

Usage

import { Nicercast } from 'nicercast'

// Stream raw audio from stdin
const input = process.stdin
const server = new Nicercast(input, { metadata: 'Process Input' })

server.listen(3000, () => {
  console.log('http://localhost:3000/listen.m3u')
})

API

new Nicercast(input[, opts])

Creates a new Nicercast server that streams the input stream of raw audio data. The optional opts parameter can be used to specify initial metadata, by suppling it under the key metadata.

Nicercast#setMetadata(metadata)

Set the current metadata to metadata, will be broadcasted to all current listeners.

Nicercast#setInputStream(input)

Set the current input stream to input, will change for all current listeners as well.

Nicercast#listen(port[, hostname][, backlog][, cb])

Start listening on the specified port.

Nicercast#close([cb])

Stop listening.
