[Liverpool] Mpd & Icecast on Raspberry Pi

[Hartley, Daniel]

Hi everybody,

I emailed the list a couple of months ago in anticipation of setting up a media server on a Raspberry Pi. There was some discussion of ways of doing this. I have recently succeeded using Subsonic to set up a media server able to stream music anywhere over the internet- but through my ThinkPad laptop- and have not had the same success with the Raspberry Pi. 

This leads me onto the issue of MPD and Icecast- which somebody suggested may be another, and more lightweight, way of doing this. I have had MPD successfully streaming through the LAN at my flat, but have not had the same success sorting out external streaming. 

I have more time to engage with this now, and was wondering if anybody would want to tag team solving this- which I think lots of other users in the Raspberry Pi community would be keenly interested in. I am a relative novice to Linux but enjoy tinkering. I have set up SSH and VNC to my Raspberry Pi which others should be able to access externally over the internet. Thus this gives the possibility of a project that extends beyond me (and hopefully to people who know what they're doing more than me). Anyone out there interested in having a go through VNC? I saw there is a Raspberry Pi event coming up as well...

Yours,

Daniel Hartley
