3 This file describes DisOrder's relationship to several different things that
8 DisOrder is capable to transmitting RTP streams over a suitable network.
12 To enable this make sure that all players use the speaker process, i.e. execraw
13 rather than exec (or it won't work properly) and configure the network speaker
17 broadcast 172.17.207.255 9003
18 broadcast_from 172.17.207.2 9002
20 The destination address (broadcast) can be:
21 - a broadcast address for a local network
24 The source address (broadcast_from) is optional but may be convenient in some
27 If the destination is a multicast address then you should set the TTL, for
32 (The destination can also be a unicast address but that's not a tested
37 To play, use the disorder-playrtp client. If the destination address was a
38 unicast or broadcast address then:
42 If the destination address was a multicast address then you must specify that,
45 disorder-playrtp 224.2.3.4 9003
47 If the client machine has a DisOrder configuration file allowing disorder(1) to
48 connect to the server then the parameters are unnecessary: disorder-playrtp
49 will figure out the details automatically.
53 Disobedience is capable of running disorder-playrtp in the background (provided
54 it is installed); look for the speaker icon. If it detects that the server is
55 using network play then its volume control will apply to the local volume, not
58 If you run into trouble look for *.log files in the ~/.disorder directory.
62 Currently only 16-bit 44100Hz stereo is supported, which requires about
63 1.4Mbit/s. At the time of writing I've found this to work fine on 100Mbit/s
64 ethernet and had reports of success with 10Mbit/s ethernet, but have not had
65 any success with wireless.
67 Possibly other lower-quality but lower-bandwidth encodings will be supported in
70 If you have a very recent version of sox you may need to set the sox_generation
71 option. See disorder_config(5).
76 This can be achieved using the speaker_command option and Icecast (see
77 http://www.icecast.org/). It will only work if you use the speaker process,
78 i.e. execraw for everything.

124 This doesn't seem to get on very well with pausing but you're unlikely to want
125 to pause a stream in any case. I used IceCast 2.3.1 and Ices 2.0.1. You can
126 play the stream with XMMS or whatever. The total setup seems to play rather
127 behind the 'current' time, watch this space for a fix (or contribute one!)
129 If you have a too-recent version of sox you may need to set the sox_generation
132 Mark Wooding contributed the original support for this but it's been modified
133 enough that he probably shouldn't be blamed for any bugs in the current code.
136 * DisOrder and Republishing Internet Streams
138 DisOrder doesn't have any built-in support for playing streams but you can make
139 it do so. I use the following in my configuration file:
141 player /export/radio/*.oggradio shell 'xargs ogg123 -q < "$TRACK"'
142 collection fs iso-8859-1 /export/radio
144 After setting this up you'll need to re-read the config file and provoke a
147 disorder reconfigure rescan /export/radio
149 /export/radio contains a file for each stream, containing the URL to use:
151 lyonesse$ cat /export/radio/CUR1350.oggradio
152 http://cur.chu.cam.ac.uk:8000/cur.ogg
154 You'll probably want to prevent random play of streams:
156 disorder set /export/radio/CUR1350.oggradio pick_at_random 0
158 You can then queue a stream like any other track. It won't automatically
159 interrupt the playing track, you have to scratch it manually. Go back to
160 normal play by scratching the stream.
