Short: Shoutcast/Icecast Amiga client (v1.24) Author: Sebastian Jedruszkiewicz Uploader: Sebastian Jedruszkiewicz Type: comm/misc Requires: mpega.library, TCP stack. NList.mcc Architecture: m68k-amigaos What is it? ----------- StreAmi is an Amiga client for very popular audio streaming over the net. There are two well known streaming systems, Icecast and Shoutcast, which can send audio data over network compressed with mpg audio. StreAmi allows you to connect to such a server and listen to the audio in realtime. What you need? -------------- - mpega.library - TCP stack (Miami, AmiTCP) - fast internet connection. - about 300kb of free memory. - NList MUI class How to use: ----------- StreAmi comes with MUI GUI interface. After starting you should change prefs files to anything you want. I wont explain here what all thse gadgets means. It should be quite clear. anyway: - Audio buffer size, describes how many audio is send to ahi each time. - Net buffer size, describes how many data is fetched from network (data is fetched in asynchronous way). If you do not understand what something means - do not touch it. If you know what everything means - write me a nice guide, I do not have much free time left for that ;). Now, you have your prefs set. from pulldown menu select "Server List" Add any serwer you want. You can find list of servers on http://www.shoutcast.com or http://www.icecast.org In this archive I have included simple list with 3 servers. Ok, now select you preffered server in main window, and click connect. enjoy. NOTE: Prefs and server list is stored in progdir: in text file. Do not mess with it unless you know exactly what are you doing. You have been warned. Suggestions: ------------ Send anything to streami@frogger.rules.pl Bugs, Not finished features, future: ------------------------------------ - Changing prefs on fly does not work. Only audio buffer size and net io size is updated. - Support for #?.pls files should be added. - CLI options whould be a nice idea too. - With slow connections sometimes audio goes crazy. Dunno why. - Maybe I will also create server, for sending audio streams to the net. - some of the errors are still displayed in CLI. Authors: -------- Programming: Sebastian Jedruszkiewicz StreAmi logo: Grzegorz Kraszewski Changes: -------- 1.1 - fixed problems with deadlocks if connection failed. - no more deadlocks if connection is lost. 1.2 - fixed bug in ahi code causing crash. 1.21 - Fixed bug in Server List gui. 1.22 - Fixed bug which caused deadlock, when server sends error response on StreAmi request. - AHI Unit was not read from .prefs file. fixed. 1.24 - some changes in network code, should be faster, and much more stable now. - added support for #?.pls files, please go to http://frogger.rules.pl/streami for instructions how to setup you favorite browser to use #?.pls files with StreAmi. - started adding CLI interface, right now only PLSFILE works. - Tasks created by streami now have bumped priority, to prevent audio from stoping. - audio buffer size was NOT used! I dont know how it happened, but now it is, and bigger audio blocks should be send to ahi.device, thus audio wont be interrupted, by for example moving windows.
