−	~~==Icecast2/Shoutcast Meta Data from Rivendell==~~
−
−	~~=== icecast.py ===~~
−
−	~~Icecast Stream python meta-data Updater Courtesy WZEW-FM MOBILE AL and Nik Martin - Server Corps~~
−
−	~~[http://92zew.net/icecast.py icecast.py]~~
−
−
−
−	~~===Updating metadata IceCast2/Shoutcast with Rivendell - RDSTREAMDATA===~~
−	~~<font size=1>Portuguese to English translation</font>~~
−
−	Following these steps can we use the information in "Now & Next" to update the Rivendell icecast2 servers and / or Shoutcast, thereby making the names of the artist and song are running are displayed in the player receiving the stream.
−
−	~~The Rivendell sends this information via UDP messages, what we do is to capture these messages (using netcat), treat them and apply them to the desired shape Shoutcast/Icecast2 streaming services.~~
−
−
−	~~==== Requirements ====~~
−
−	~~The procedures shown here were tested at 10.4 32 bit Ubuntu distribution.~~
−	~~Make sure your distribution has the following packages installed:~~
−
−	* Wget (Used to upgrade servers icecast2)
−	* Lynx (Used to upgrade servers Shoutcast)
−	* Nc (netcat, used to capture messages sent by RDAirPlay)
−
−	~~The commands used in the scripts provided below will work with NC (netcat) openbsd version which is the default for Ubuntu 10.04.~~
−	~~If your distribution uses the traditional NC default, see if there is a binary version of openbsd, as Ubuntu, for example, has both versions.~~
−	~~In Ubuntu you can check the versions available with the command:~~
−
−	~~# Update-alternatives - list nc~~
−
−	~~It is not necessary that you change the default version of your system, just set in the following steps to use the version RDStreamData openbsd.~~
−
−	~~==== Installation ====~~
−
−	* Download the package rdstreamdata.tar.gz
−	~~[Http://www.fdts.com.br/rdstreamdata.tar.gz rdstreamdata.tar.gz]~~
−
−	* Unzip the package and enter the directory created
−	~~# Tar-zxvf rdstreamdata.tar.gz~~
−	~~# Cd rdstreamdata~~
−	* As root, run the installation script and read the instructions on screen.
−	~~#. / Install.sh~~
−	~~Will this script install RDstreamdata, a set of scripts That Will listen to an UDP port is Rivendell Now & Next information and update~~
−	~~this information to an icecast2 and / or ShoutCast Server.~~
−	~~Do you want to do it? y / n.y~~
−	* Enter "y" and hit Enter
−	~~Copying files~~
−	~~Now You Have to edit / etc / rdstreamdata.conf 'to suit your icecast2, Rivendell and ShoutCast Configurations.~~
−
−	~~Attemper That You Must Set the username and group Which must run under the process before you start the daemon for the first time.~~
−	~~Edit / etc / default / rdstreamdata 'and set' Enable 'to' true ', so You Can start it though the init script~~
−
−	~~Also you need to Set the script / etc / init.d / rdstreamdata 'to Be automaticaly run in the desired runlevels,~~
−	~~systems in Ubuntu You may use "sysv-rc-conf 'command for this.~~
−
−
−	~~You Can contact me at contato@fdts.com.br~~
−
−	~~Thanks for using~~
−
−	~~====General Settings ====~~
−
−	* Now we must set up some items, as described by the installer, start with the'''/ etc / defaults / rdstreamdata''', where we must fulfill what the user under which the processes are executed. You can use either the user that you log into Linux as the user running the other services of Rivendell, I use the username'''rduser''' and''group 'rivendell'''. '''NOT recommend that you use root or another user with higher privileges'''.
−	* Even in'''/ etc / defaults / rdstreamdata''' set the value of'''ENABLE''' to'''true''', otherwise the daemon will not start.
−	* In the file'''/ etc / rdstreamdata.conf''' we have all other settings, we should look to the following:
−	** In the general settings:
−	***'''Netcat_bin = / bin / nc''' - At this point we can define a binary alternative to netcat, remember that we emphasize the importance of early use Netcat version of OpenBSD. As with Ubuntu 4.10 this is already the default, I'm using the default path / bin / nc.
−	***'''Riv_udp_port = "9876"''' - Here we define which port our script will be listening for messages from Rivendell, you should use a port that is not being used by any service above 1024 and ever since we are not running as root. The port is also used here as defined in the configuration of Rivendell.
−	***'''Message = "Name of your radio"''' - The message specified here is used when the RDAirPlay is closed or when the event is in the air that is not configured to send names (jingles, commercials, called , etc.).
−	***'''Min_title_size = 5''' - Minimum size of characters that the event must have for the the standard message set in the previous section is replaced by the name of the event. This is used to filter unwanted events of null characters.
−
−	~~==== Settings Icecast2====~~
−	* In the file'''/ etc / rdstreamdata.conf'''
−	** These settings define whether or not you use a server Icecast2 and what data to access it.
−	***'''Ic_enable = true''' - If the value is different from'''true''' the server Icecast2 not be updated.
−	***'''Ic_server = "localhost"''' - Hostname or IP of server Icecast2, change as needed.
−	***'''Ic_admin = "admin"''' - User Icecast2 server administrator, change as needed.
−	***'''Ic_pass = "password"''' - User password server administrator Icecast2, change as needed.
−	***'''Ic_port = "8888"''' - Server port Icecast2, change as needed.
−	***'''Ic_mount = "/ radio"''' - Mount point Icecast2 server, change as needed.
−
−	~~==== Settings Shoucast====~~
−	* In the file'''/ etc / rdstreamdata.conf'''
−	** These settings define whether or not you use a Shoutcast server and what data to access it.
−	***'''Sc_enable = true''' - If the value is different from'''true''' the Shoutcast server will not be updated.
−	***'''Sc_server = "localhost"''' - Hostname or IP of the Shoutcast server, change as needed.
−	***'''Sc_admin = "admin"''' - User Shoutcast server administrator, change as needed.
−	***'''Sc_pass = "password"''' - Password for user administrator Shoutcast server, change as needed.
−	***'''Sc_port = "8080"''' - Shoutcast server port, change as needed.
−
−	~~==== Configuring Rivendell ====~~
−
−	~~This is an essential step for the update to run, since the Rivendell not send the desired information is useless effort.~~
−	~~To enable the transmission of information follow the following steps:~~
−	* Enter rdadmin.
−	~~[[File: rdstreamdata_01.jpeg]]~~
−	* Click on'''Manage Hosts'''.
−	~~[[File: rdstreamdata_02.jpeg]]~~
−	* Select the Host which runs RDAirPlay and click'''Edit'''.
−	~~[[File: rdstreamdata_03.jpeg]]~~
−	* Click'''RDAirPlay'''
−	~~[[File: rdstreamdata_04.jpeg]]~~
−	* On the screen that opens click'''Now & Next Set Parameters'''.
−	~~[[File: rdstreamdata_05.jpeg]]~~
−	* Fill in the fields as indicated:
−	**'''IP Address''' 127.0.0.1
−	**'''UDP Port:''' 9876 - The same setup informed'''/ etc / rdstreamdata.conf'''.
−	**'''UDP String:'''% a -% t% r - Thus we have a message with the names of the artist and the current song, plus a line break.
−	~~[[File: rdstreamdata_06.jpeg]]~~
−
−
−	~~At this point the RDAirPlay is ready to send UDP messages to update our Streaming, however we must be sure that groups are configured to transmit the event information.~~
−
−	* Free rdadmin again.
−	~~[[File: rdstreamdata_01.jpeg]]~~
−	* Click'''Groups'''.
−	~~[[File: rdstreamdata_07.jpeg]]~~
−	* Select a group that wants to transmit information and click'''Edit'''.
−	~~[[File: rdstreamdata_08.jpeg]]~~
−	* Check the'''Transmit Now & Next day''' and click OK.
−	~~[[File: rdstreamdata_09.jpeg]]~~
−	* Repeat the last steps for all desired groups.
−
−	* Close and reopen the RDAirPlay. Now the Rivendell should already be updating your streaming server!
−
−	~~Happy Rivendelling!~~
−
−	~~You can follow any updates to the log file'''/ var / log / rdstreamdata.log'''~~

−
−	~~Download and uncompress the source archive file. Then open a terminal and go to the '''edcast-jack-3.1.7''' (May be a different folder name if the version increases) directory and compile it.~~
−
−	The normal '''./configure''' , '''make''' and then run as super user '''make install''' worked for me. However, since there is no list of the dependencies I had to run '''./configure''' a number of times watching for the missing files till I got them all installed. Then do '''make''' and after that as the super user '''make install''' to be up and running. Type '''edcast-jack''' in a console window and it will tell you how to invoke it on the command line.
−
−	~~On Ubuntu Jaunty 9.04 the following packages had to be installed to have full edcast-jack functionality: (Mark additional required changes as well!)~~
−	~~<pre>~~
−	~~libfaac-dev~~
−	~~libfaac0~~
−	~~libjack-dev~~
−	~~libflac-dev~~
−	~~libogg-dev~~

−	~~=== edcast-jack Readme ===~~
−	~~<pre>edcast-jack Readme~~
−	~~-------------------~~
−
−	~~This version of edcast allows you to hook into any jack output port~~
−	~~and broadcast the audio to an icecast or shoutcast server.~~
−
−	~~This version of edcast is all command-line oriented, and comes with~~
−	~~example config files for each of the encoding types supported (Ogg Vorbis,~~
−	~~LAME, AAC). You will most likely need to take one of the example configs~~
−	~~(in the conf dir) and modify it to suit your needs.~~
−
−	~~Here is an example of how to use it with jack (http://jackit.sourceforge.net).~~
−
−	~~Step 1:~~
−	* startup jackd
−
−	~~Step 2:~~
−	* Feed a signal into jackd. There are many applications you can use
−	~~for this, if you like XMMS, try installing http://xmms-jack.sourceforge.net/~~
−
−	~~Step 3:~~
−	* Start edcast specifying the appropriate output ports. To get a list of
−	~~the output ports, use jack_lsp. If you use XMMS, you'll see something like :~~
−
−	~~% jack_lsp~~
−	~~alsa_pcm:capture_1~~
−	~~alsa_pcm:capture_2~~
−	~~alsa_pcm:playback_1~~
−	~~alsa_pcm:playback_2~~
−	~~bio2jack_0_32083:out_0~~
−	~~bio2jack_0_32083:out_1~~
−
−	~~In this case, the bio2jack_0_32083:out_0 and bio2jack_0_32083:out_1 are the~~
−	~~output ports from XMMS. So you'd start edcast like :~~
−
−	~~edcast -c edcast_OggVorbis.cfg bio2jack_0_32083:out_0 bio2jack_0_32083:out_1~~
−
−	~~Use edcast -h for a usage.</pre>~~
−
−	~~=== edcast-jack Usage ===~~
−	~~<pre>~~
−	~~usage: edcast -c configfile [ -n jack_client_name ] [ -p portmatch ] [ jackport1 [ jackport2 ... ]]~~
−	~~Where:~~
−	~~-c : config file that specified encoding settings~~
−	~~-n : name used to register with jackd~~

−
−	~~=== Streamdata ===~~
−
−	~~Streamdata for Shoutcast is available from [http://emitworks.com/en/index.php?id=rivendell-radio-automation EMITworks]. You can download it [http://emitworks.com/streamdata.tar.gz here].~~
−
−	~~Streamdata for Icecast2 is available for download [http://ubuntuone.com/p/E7F// here] .~~
−
−	~~Streamdata is a set of scripts to update Shoutcast and Icecast2 using Rivendell Now&Next data.~~
−
−	*Streamdata was written by Michael Papsdorf
−
−	*Modified for usage in Debian/Ubuntu and Icecast2 by Daniel Roviriego
−
−	~~HowTo stream Rivendell Now & Next data to your Shoutcast server:~~
−
−	* Preparation: make sure you have netcat, lynx and awk installed on your system under openSUSE, simply type "zypper install netcat" in a console. Same with Lynx and awk
−
−	* Extract the directory somewhere you will find it ;)
−
−	* In rdadmin, go to manage hosts --> your host --> rdairplay --> configure Now & Next
−	** '''IP-Adress:''' this is 127.0.0.1 since you are running the script on the same machine
−	** '''UDP Port:''' anything that is unused, we use 6666
−	** '''UDP String:''' This is the data you actually send. To output the now playing artist and title enter:
−	~~%a %t#~~
−	~~'''Note:''' You must include a '''#''' at the end of the UDP string so that the updater can tell where one title starts and the other ends.~~
−
−	~~The following placeholder macros can be used in the UDP String, which will be replaced appropriately when a packet is sent:~~
−	~~%n - The currently-playing CART NUMBER~~
−	~~%g - The currently-playing GROUP NAME~~
−	~~%t - The currently-playing TITLE field~~
−	~~%a - The currently-playing ARTIST field~~
−	~~%l - The currently-playing ALBUM field~~
−	~~%y - The currently-playing YEAR field~~
−	~~%b - The currently-playing LABEL field~~
−	~~%c - The currently-playing CLIENT field~~
−	~~%e - The currently-playing AGENCY field~~
−	~~%u - The currently-playing USER DEFINED field~~
−	~~%h - The length of the currently playing cut, in mS.~~
−	~~%r - A "Unix" style newline (naked ASCII 10)~~
−	~~%R - An "MS-DOS" style newsline (ASCII 13/10)~~
−	~~%% - A literal '%'.~~
−
−	'''NOTE:''' Additionally, with the exception of the '%r', '%R' and '%%' placeholders, '''the corresponding field for the <span style="color:red;">next-to-play event</span> can be specified by simply uppercasing the above placeholders'''. Any other characters will be sent unchanged.
−
−	~~Remember to put a '''#''' at the end of the UDP String, so the updater can keep the different titles apart.~~
−
−	* '''RML:''' Additional RML to execute. To put the update that was sent into the message field in rdairplay, this should read LB updated %a %t! (the ! is mandatory)
−
−	* cd into /streamdata

+== Icecast2 Meta Data from Rivendell ==
 Rivendell ships with a PyPAD script called '''pypad_icecast2.py''' that can be used to update the 'Currently playing' display in IceCast v2.x setups. To configure it, proceed as follows:

-N.B. - Due to the way that the IceCast server is designed, PAD update messages must be seen by the server to originate from the same IP address as that being used to originate the associated audio stream. Provided that the audio encoder and Rivendell are accessing Icecast by means of the same NAT'ed firewall, this requirement will generally be met. If not, then PyPAD can often be configured to send PAD via the audio encoder.

-At this point the RDAirPlay is ready to send UDP messages to update our Streaming, however we must be sure that groups are configured to transmit the event information.
