Creating Icecast channel

[jdaviescoates]

@girish said in Ampache is now available:

Icecast compatible Channels - Looks like we can create a radio channel with this.

Has anyone tried this?

I like Navidrome, but I'd like to get an Icecast online radio station stream of music up too.

I found this

https://github.com/ampache/ampache/wiki/Ampache-on-Icecast

@girish have we already got that stuff in the Cloudron Ampache configuration?

@jdaviescoates I haven't tried it, no. If I understand the wiki correctly what we need to do is to package this ices as a separate app package. It seems to downloading a random media from ampache with ogg format and streaming it out.

Shall I create an wishlist post for it?

@jdaviescoates Yes, I think that would be the next step. An alternate angle is to bundle ice server as part of ampache app package itself and make it optional. But I don't have experience with hosting ice cast channels to know what is the better approach. Does anyone else here know?
