Some simple steps and launchd scripts that allows your Mac to broadcast an internet radio stream of an input audio device

The UnlicenseUnlicense

  1. Install Jack2 (route audio tool) http://jackaudio.org/. The following version seems to work fine in macOS 10.14: https://github.com/jackaudio/jackaudio.github.com/releases/tag/1.9.11

  2. Install Darkice (audio streamer): brew install darkice

  3. Darkice will be installed with Jack1 0.125.0 that doesn't seem to work so remove it: brew uninstall --ignore-dependencies jack

  4. Install Icecast (internet radio server): brew install icecast

  5. Prepare basic configs for Icecast and Darkice

    • note, in darkice config I changed the backend to jack_auto

  6. Run Icecast: icecast -c icecast.xml

    • note, the path to icecast root is in the conf file and has to be corrected if homebrew upgrades it

  7. Run Jack: jackd -d coreaudio

  8. Run Darkice: darkice -c darkice.cfg

    • note, you can use jack_lsp -c to ensure that the audio interfaces were auto connected

Go to http://localhost:8000/admin/ and enter the admin-user (admin) and admin-password (hackme) from the icecast.xml config file. You should arrive at the admin page.

Your stream is available via http://localhost:8000/spin
