-DisOrder and Republishing Internet Streams
-==========================================
+RTP Streaming
+=============
-DisOrder doesn't have any built-in support for playing streams but you can make
-it do so. I use the following in my configuration file:
+DisOrder is now capable to transmitting RTP streams over a suitable network.
+To enable this make sure that allplayers use the speaker process, i.e. execraw
+rather than exec (or it won't work properly) and configure the network speaker
+backend:
- player /export/radio/*.oggradio shell 'xargs ogg123 -q < "$TRACK"'
- collection fs iso-8859-1 /export/radio
+ speaker_backend network
+ broadcast 172.17.207.255 9003
+ broadcast_from 172.17.207.2 9002
-After setting this up you'll need to re-read the config file and provoke a
-rescan:
+The destination address doesn't have to be a broadcast address.
+broadcast_from is optional but may be convenient for some cases.
- disorder reconfigure rescan /export/radio
+To play, use the disorder-playrtp client.
-/export/radio contains a file for each stream, containing the URL to use:
+ disorder-playrtp 0.0.0.0 9003
- lyonesse$ cat /export/radio/CUR1350.oggradio
- http://cur.chu.cam.ac.uk:8000/cur.ogg
+Currently only 16-bit 44100Hz stereo is supported, which requires about
+1.4Mbit/s. Possibly other lower-quality but lower-bandwidth encodings will be
+supported in future.
-You'll probably want to prevent random play of streams:
-
- disorder set /export/radio/CUR1350.oggradio pick_at_random 0
+If you have a too-recent version of sox you may need to set the sox_generation
+option.
-You can then queue a stream like any other track. It won't automatically
-interrupt the playing track, you have to scratch it manually. Go back to
-normal play by scratching the stream.
+There is now (not well tested) multicast support.
-Creating A Stream Of DisOrder Output
-====================================
+Icecast Streaming
+=================
This can be achieved using the speaker_command option and Icecast (see
http://www.icecast.org/). It will only work if you use the speaker process,
play the stream with XMMS or whatever. The total setup seems to play rather
behind the 'current' time, watch this space for a fix (or contribute one!)
-Other DisOrder options you can set are sox_generation which you should set to
-if you have a sufficently recent version of sox, due to an incompatile change
-in its command syntax; and sample_format which determines what format is
-supplied to the speaker_command. See disorder_config(5) for further
-information.
+If you have a too-recent version of sox you may need to set the sox_generation
+option.
