Minimal browser based SHOUTcast streaming

Primary LanguagePython

Streamed Rice

Streamed Rice is a lightweight SHOUTcast (.pls) internet radio pass-though server leveraging the HTML5 audio element. You need to run Steamed Rice yourself, or find a public server, but you will be able to play arbritrary SHOUTcast streams from any modern browser.

Quick Setup

$ git clone https://github.com/RyanJenkins/streamedrice.git
$ cd streamedrice
$ ./streamedrice.py

and navigate to localhost using a modern web browser. Streamed Rice depends on Gevent to mange simultanious connections, you may be able to run using Flask's development server but it would be grossly inefficient.

Last.fm Integration

Streamed Rice supports Last.fm integration in the form of album art fetching and/or scrobbleing. Both these things require a Last.fm API key. On startup Streamed Rice will search its current directory for a settings.json file containing Last.fm API information in the following format:

{
  "scrobbling":true,
  "albumart":true,
  "key":"",
  "secret":""
}

if this file isn't found Streamed Rice will start and operate without these features.
