Slashdot Mirror


Slashdot Live @ LinuxWorld

We're now streaming audio live from the LinuxWorld show floor. You can get it at mp3-2.thesync.com:8000 (and thanks to TheSync for making this happen). Hopefully we'll have video coming out soon. You can now see our fancy dandy live webcam.

    I think you might have just /.'d yourself, when you brought up the webcam site and then turned the laptop towards the cam... it was just too much to handle. I think for a moment I could percieve infinity. Have Fun

    You see guys, *this* is why the penguin logo was a bad idea. You can't dress up a girlie like an over-stuffed, flightless bird and expect her to look sexy.

    I guess the *BSD camp really is superior.

    How would proper /. radio interest you?

    Does this mean I get to hear people shouting 'First Post!' and talking about Natalie Portman naked and petrified with a bowl of hot grits?

  6. UGH, slashdot effect: slow. by adraken · · Score: 3

    Must... put... more... servers... that's kinda what's nice about icecast/shoutcast, you can have one streaming location that streams to several servers that can handle a lot of bandwidth.

  7. Ugh. server full by Zaffle · · Score: 3
    HTTP/1.0 504 Server Full Server: icecast/1.3.0

    Right, now, all those with cable modems who are currently hearing it, start streaming it from your computer too. Post your ip here. *grin*. All others, bugger off so I can get on.

    Seriously though, mp3-2.thesync.com resolves to only one IP address. Surely slashdot of all people would have figured we are gonna need more than one server. Never-the-less, TheSync set it up, so slashdot probably didn't have much control over it. Its a great idea, I just wish I could listen to it too! :)

      Even better:

      until mpg123 -q http://mp3-2.thesync.com:8000; do echo -n; done

      This'll work at a bash prompt or in a bash script with the standard header. This has the advantage of NOT respawning after you finally get in and later quit. (A lot less output too.)

  12. Re:mp3 streaming / capture software by Inoshiro · · Score: 2

    Liveice with icecast on line in. Keep the radio connected to line in.

    If you wish to stream static MP3s, get Shout or Yell and stream those.

    Yell is available from part of my website as I am the primary developer. It's in development, and is not yet feature complete. It will, however, let you keep a couple of CDs worth of MP3s looping in sequential or random play -- there is some skipping, though. It appears to be a bug in the icecast server (assumptions made about br and buffersize). I'm working with some members of the icecast dev team on it.

    Icecast is, of course, available from Icecast.org, and contains Shout as a part of the standard package. Shout has some trickier issues, though. AFAIK, signalling is not working in Linux by default because of how Linux handles signals. Grab the CVS Shout for the fix :-)

    Otherwise, it's interesting you pointed this out. Practically everyone (less the blue shirted suite, and a few others) are wearing nothing but black with black hair.

    we got it all going, then icecast flaked for a what seemed to be a very long and very nerve-racking time. sorry about that; it's all better now. of course, if you're listening now, you're not hearing anything because we're not saying anything. :) just keep it running in the background, and crank it up when the next show starts. in the meantime, you can bring up the webcam and watch me typing this to you. :-)
