Create your own online radio with shoutcast streaming server|Linux|
SHOUTcast is server software for streaming media developed by Nullsoft. It allows digital audio content, primarily in MP3 or HE-AAC format, to be broadcast to and from media player software, enabling hobbyists and professionals to create Internet radio networks. At least one streaming system, Icecast, licensed under the GPL exists. With SHOUTcast server you can create your own online radio, for example record a program with your voice and save it as mp3, then set it to run after 3 songs. You can also set a message from you to your listners ( The message has to be recorded in advance and saved as mp3), or to set record a message between every song, so you will have a real radio station online :)
1. Download shoutcast files to server and then extract them ( You can always download the file manualy from this link ) :
- Download the command bellow to download the SHOUTcast files :
wget http://yp.shoutcast.com/downloads/sc1-9-8/sc_serv_1.9.8_Linux.tar.gz
- Extract the tar file using the command :
tar -zxvf sc_serv_1.9.8_Linux.tar.gz
2- Now rename folder :
mv sc_serv_1.9.8_Linux shoutcast
3- Always on the terminal, open and edit the file config sc_serv.conf
gedit sc_serv.conf
4- Now in the config sc_serv.conf file you can set maxuser, password , port
maxuser
password
port
Remember that the maxuser depend of your connexion upload speed and of the quality of streaming ( kb/s )
So you need to have a cable or DSL connection, 56K can cut it but only 1 or 2 people MAX. The higher upload speed, the better!
Remove the ; infront of adminpassword and set a password
Then save and exit.
7. Start the server using the command :
./sc_serv sc_serv.conf
8- Now the server is on, you need to broadcast your music :
On the website of shoutcast they said that you can just broadcoast from using Winmap and SHOUTcast DSP plugin
Broadcasters need to use Winamp and the SHOUTcast DSP Plugin for Winamp. There is no current solution for broadcasting from Unix or Macintosh.
9- Now peoples can listen to your online radio on the adress bellow :
http://(your ip address):8000/listen.pls
If you have a website or a blog you can forward the link bellow to http://yourwebsite/radio and then put a link on the frontpage -Listen Online Radio -
All your questions regarding streaming you can find an answer in this link

Just one thing:
What about pep8 in your python code ? How can you give ‘tutorials’ on quite popular website, of such a bad quality ?

Larry Page is not being completely honest! The manner in which the PRISM program/project works does not need access from company administrators or owners, so called “direct access”; the access to the information is already there. These tech company CEOs take for granted the actual intelligence of most end users of their products. All it takes is a little digging and reading to go from ignorant to informed on these things especially on exactly how the internet works/functions in the U.S.A. I find Larry Page’s remarks just as laughable as Al Gore’s claim to “inventing” the internet/world wide web!
If you, as an end user, are reading this post; I challenge you to research these matters yourself. It really is quite simple with all the “information sites” that exist on the web today ie Wikipedia, & other online encyclopedias that actually list source material, as well as highly respected tech sites and blogs that also list their source material. Be warned: this is only the tip of the iceberg and these tech CEOs know and understand this; they are scrambling in attempt to perform DAMAGE CONTROL to save the company and what little trust thay have left from their products end users/consumers.
Am I a skeptic? I believe someone has to be or needs to be at this point in time! If your not just a little skeptical of the government, tech companies, and the people that are in charge of these agencies and companies; you need to be, even if just a little skeptic. For your own personal protection and security! I know I was a part of this community for over 14 years!

As I understand it so do VLC use same encoders as ffmpeg. And yes, there are less code that can break when you use command line instead of a graphical UI.
And may I ask what mono has to do with VLC? *facepalm*

Just some thoughts about Java.
OpenJDK7 are now THE Java implementation and Oracles are just one more of the reimplementations. So you should not need to install Oracles version.
And you really don’t need to remove the OpenJDK7 installation to also have Sun Java JDK 7. Just run
sudo update-java-alternatives –list
and select which java you want to have as default java of all that is installed.
And if you want to run a program with one special version, check manpage for java-wrappers how to do that.
man java-wrappers
so you can run java program rasterizer like this:
JAVA_FLAVOR=openjdk rasterizer
JAVA_ARGS=-Xmx80m rasterizer
JAVA_BINDIR=/usr/share/
etc
