streaming protocol...dsp to streaming server

Post by swndaniel »

Hello all,

I am currently programming a litle shoutcast/icecast/... like streaming server in java. DSP clients are able to connect to it but when I dump all incoming data (from lates shoutcast dsp plugin for winamp 2 for example) into a file and try to play it in <enter mp3 player here>, it has lots of errors so that its hard to guess what song is inside. I had a look at some documentations about streaming ... but I am not really sure about icy meta intervals. Is meta data added by the DSP or by a streaming server? Is there something I have to take care of, when playing around with DSP output? I thougt that <enter mp3 streaming dsp plugin here> sends a "very long full-featured" mp3 file to the server - is this incorrect?

regards

as to your first question:
The stream server is responsible for meta data output, IE SHOUTcast DNAS.

As to your other question.
The DSP sends the password, followed by the headers and then an indefinate amount of mp3 data.
