Streaming Radio Howto

by Asbesto, CORONAVIRUS EDITION 11/3/2020

PULSEAUDIO MERDA AS SYSTEM SERVICE, PORCAMADONNA

I had to do this on starlink for gqrx radio streaming. DIO MERDA

in /etc/pulse I edited daemon.conf uncommenting those lines:

daemonize = yes
system-instance = yes
high-priority = yes

Then I had to add

/usr/bin/pulseaudio --system -D
touch /tmp/pulseaudioMERDA

in rc.local

THEN in /etc/group I added root and asbesto users in the correct groups (i include audio BECAUSE SHIT)

audio:x:29:pulse,asbesto,root
pulse:x:111:asbesto,root
pulse-access:x:112:asbesto,root

then REBOOT AND FUCK OFF

now from asbesto I can sudo darkice

SINK HOLE NEL CULO

DA UTENTE:

pactl load-module module-null-sink sink_name=Radio sink_properties="device.description='Radio'"

dovrebbe creare un LAVANDINO Radio. NON SO A COSA SERVE: VEDI https://zackhobson.com/2020/05/26/internet-radio-pulseaudio-darkice-icecast/

non so come ma se setto device = pulse dentro darkice, strimma quel che esce dal mixer audio quindi anche il dsp out mp3 porcodio gqrx merda

DARKICE setup on vtroglos etc

What device to use?

Use "aplay -l" to get a list of the devices on your system. The hw:X,Y comes from this mapping of your hardware -- in this case, X is the card number, while Y is the device number.

Liquidsoap streaming for radiocybernet on zaverio.com

We installed liquidsoap:

apt-get install liquidsoap

The program we use is "stream.liq" in ~/radiocybernet:

# Log dir
set("log.file.path","/home/asbesto/radiocybernet/streaming.log")

# local telnet server only, port 1234
set("server.telnet", true)

# Music
myplaylist = playlist("~/radiocybernet/playlist.m3u",reload_mode="watch")

# Some jingles
jingles = playlist("~/radiocybernet/jingles.m3u",reload_mode="watch")

# If something goes wrong, we'll play this
security = single("~/radiocybernet/alfacharlie.mp3")

# Start building the feed with music
radio = myplaylist
# Now add some jingles
radio = random(weights = [1, 4],[jingles, radio])
# And finally the security
radio = fallback(track_sensitive = false, [radio, security])

# Stream it out
output.icecast(%mp3,
  host = "radio.dyne.org", port = 8000,
  password = "bactrim", mount = "rcyb.mp3",
  icy_metadata="true",
  genre = "Live",
  description = "Historical Broadcast live 24/7 - Multilingual - WARNING, can contain STRONG ITALIAN LANGUAGE, MAYBE NSFW ",
  name = "Radio Cybernet - Online since 1997",
  url = "http://www.radiocybernet.org",
  audio_to_stereo(radio))

Main playlist is there, you also have jingles and the security mp3 if something fail. random weights control jingles.

audio_to_stereo reencode weird mp3 formats on the fly so everything work smooth!

Just add a list of MP3 somewhere, create a playlist, and that's all!

TELNET server (local only) is useful but kinda tricky.

TODO

Tricks

Liquidsoap use MP3 id tag as titles etc. - If mp3 doesn't have tags, nothing will be display. So you MUST describe any mp3 in id tags. We used eye3D tool for that - very useful: eye3D -t title mp3.

REALAUDIO FILES to mp3 - must be converted. ffmpeg does this. GOOGLE THAT

Darkice config file

This is the config file for darkice under Linux, to stream on radio.dyne.org, use darkice as darkice -c darkice.cfg where darkice.cfg is the configuration file:

With OSS (OLD :-? Open Sound System)

Control permissions and existance of /dev/dsp dsp1 dsp2, dependently from how many audio cards you have. Tri gom or aumix to control the mixer settings.

With ALSA

Control that there is an audio card with aplay -l and always control that you are part of group audio ( or be root )

NOTE

{i}{X}X-({X}{i}

On ubuntu ( and on debian to be tried ) pulseaudio take over hw:0,0 so your audiocard will be hw:1,0 (blarg...). There must be a more gently way of killing pulseaudio and clearing this naming issue... to be investigated :)

Control the mixer with alsamixer ( alsamixer -c1 in case of pulseaudio cadaver )

alsamixer-card-fullduplex.png

In alsamixer press the [tab] button on your keyboard to go to the input capture view:

alsamixer-capture-volumes-view-1.png

Don't put the capture volume at max or you will get poor quality audio, if your terminal supports colors keep it under the red bar :), in amixergui or thing like that keep the capture volume 2/3 of the max volume.

With the arrows you can cross the input channels, put the capture on the -mix- by pressing the space bar and then set the volumes of the outputs ( again [tab] to switch back to the outputs volumes views) as you wish.

If you plan to use a player like mplayer or audacious or xmms remember to set them to use Master as volume and not PCM otherwise with the music you will take down also mikes line-in cd and what-sallamadonna-not , best to set them on software volume control ( -softvol for mplayer )
