Description by douglas:
A DarkIce? installation, paired with a how-to for doing it, might make for a pretty attractive addition to the LS feature set. I could see a number of places where having such an install would make things a lot easier: - Preview entire playlist - Preview transition - Preview file - Listen to station's output Low priority, naturally, but still...

I would imagine that integration of mp3/ogg encoding and streaming this to an icecast server should not be considered low priority. I think streaming integration should be an essential feature of livesupport. And about the decode/encode issue: I imagine that the music library holds files encoded in a variety of bitrates and formats, but generally of high quality (128 or 192 kbps). One would want to be able to stream to an icecast server in different bitrates and format. The flexibility that decoding-then-encoding offers is a great compensation for this seemingly redundant step. Integration via Jack seems an excellent idea. I just wonder whether this would have consequences for the inclusion in the stream of dynamic metadata (now playing etc) as described in https://www.campware.org/view.php?id=617

I'ld like to emphasize again, that I think that integration of ogg/mp3 streaming (to an icecast 2 server) should be considered a very valuable feature, and one that will attract lots of additional users for livesupport. Darkice is great and integration would be perfect.

I completely agree. I was going to open up a feature request for this but I saw this one. I run internet radio stuff only, and LiveSupport has pretty much every other feature I need except for this. Sure, I could output it via the soundcard and stream to the net from another computer from the soundcard line in, but then there would be no song title data being sent. I know for sure if this feature was added I could drop one of our automation boxes that runs another commercial solution that doesn't work well anyway. I could also revive one of my stations that has been dead for almost a year due to most software that I have tried being garbage. Thanks again for your hard work on this product. It's looking great, but that's just one feature I need. -Mark

adding icecast2-compatible streaming would take about 4 days (to both the scheduler and the GUI)

upgrade gstreamer elements for streaming live broadcast, as talk about on forum topic https://www.campware.org/phorum/read.php?12,2839,2847#msg-2847
we could, especially after the next release of darkice, which supports Jack. if we could get LiveSupport to play to a jack port, and connect that to darkice, that would be the easiest... but also note that this would mean that at one isntance we decode mp3, and then we re- encode it with darkice. the long term solution would be to send the sound output directly to a streaming server...
