Example Usage

Receive an Icecast/SHOUTcast stream, demultiplex it, and write it to a file:

pipeline(
    IcecastClient("http://64.236.34.97:80/stream/1049"),
    IcecastDemux(),
    IcecastStreamWriter("stream.mp3"),
).run()

How does it work?

The SHOUTcast/Icecast protocol is virtually identical to HTTP. As such, IcecastClient subclasses SingleShotHTTPClient modifying the request slightly to ask for stream metadata(e.g. track name) to be included (by adding the icy-metadata header). It is otherwise identical to its parent class.

class IcecastClient(SingleShotHTTPClient)

IcecastClient(starturl) -> Icecast/SHOUTcast MP3 streaming component

Arguments: - starturl -- the URL of the stream

class IcecastDemux(Axon.Component.component)

Splits a raw Icecast stream into A/V data and metadata

prefab: IcecastStreamRemoveMetadata

class IcecastStreamWriter(Axon.Component.component)
