Icecast Streaming Media Server

[Anonymous]

Hello there.

I have an icecast server running on a linux shell which is broadcasting a live radio mp3 stream. It can be found here. Basically what I want to do is run something in the linux shell that can take that stream and re encode it to a lower bitrate allowing dialup users to have a stream at the momment.

So rather than us (the radio station) sending a 96kps stream and a 28kps stream to the icecast server, we can send one 96kps and let the server re encode it to 28kps as well.

I know this is possible, possibly through ices or something, but I've yet to work out how.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
David.

You can run streamtranscoder on the server machine, reading the one 96kbps stream you send and it creates another stream (possibly on the same icecast) which is transcoded to 28kbps.
