Cliente de medios para streaming a servidores Icecast. Permite la creación de streams multimedia a partir de ficheros o de la salida estándar. Soporta streams en Ogg, MP3, WebM y Matroska.

• Repositorio oficial (Gitlab)

Creamos un fichero XML con la configuración necesaria.

Para este ejemplo, se ha creado previamente un fichero llamado lista.m3u con la ruta a ficheros de audio .mp3. Esta lista de reproducción la emitirá aleatoriamente y sin parar.

También está cubierta la información del servidor Icecast al que enviaremos el stream para que cualquier persona pueda conectarse y recibirlo.

        For compatibility reasons, the default configuration and this example
        is "may". THIS IS INSECURE. It allows a MitM to intercept the
        password and tamper with the stream. It is recommended to set this to
        "required" when configuring TLS to secure streaming over untrusted
        networks.

Para lanzar Ezstream utilizan un fichero de configuración previamente creado, por ejemplo, config-ezstream.xml tendríamos que ejecutar:

ezstream -c config-ezstream.xml
