Hello,
This is what I do when I want to play a list of songs (ogg format) and stream it to a client.
Install icecast2 which is the audio streaming server
apt-get install icecast2You may want to change the default configuration. I recommend to change: port, source-password, relay-password, admin-password. The port is just for obscurity.
Install ices2. This is the program that will read your music files and supply it to icecast for streaming.
I like to create a user where to store music files. It's up to you if you wish to store somewhere else.
Then put some music into it
Create your playlist file
and put the following
create the playlist xml, that you will feed to ices2. this xml will point to the txt file above.
and put the following
Then create an ices2 daemon (please correct me if this is wrong term. I just mean the one where you can issue later "service ices2 start" or "service ices2 stop").
Ant put the following contents
And issue the following commands to do some magic. I'm not sure what they are for, but you need them.
Now you can run it
Now paste to your browser the url and enjoy the music:http://ip
ort/jon.ogg
