Bill,
Yep - I knew about that and its how I'm connecting to them but thanks for
reminding me about this because i was starting to wonder if the
StreamTitle= i saw in a packet capture was Shoutcast and I forgot this
example was out there confirming they're icecast. The thing that example
never solved for was putting titles into the stream.
The difference is also I'm not sourcing audio from a physical scanner. I'm
using USB dongles (RTL-SDR) to capture digital radio off an antenna via
USB, track the data channel to determine where each digital talk-group will
appear on any number of voice radio frequencies, capture that specific
transmission, and write it to a .wav file (it's pretty darn impressive
how well it works).
Since the output is .wav I'm converting them to .mp3 with lame, where I can
easily inject the alpha tag of the transmission into the ID. The problem
with the example you found is his solution isn't doing alpha tagging. His
stream doesn't include names.
Alpha tagging (in broadcastify terms) is when you take the name of a given
scanner channel and display it during the stream just like a song title,
but instead of a song title its the channel name to give the listener
context to what they're hearing. So say one moment it may be "Police Disp
1" but maybe 10 seconds later its the "Fire Disp 1" - the more elaborate
solutions sneak the word "Scanning" in when there is nothing playing.
