A small command line tool to stream STDIN to a laut.fm icecast station.

Download the Linux binary:

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/niko/lautfm-streamer/master/lautfm-streamer.linux.64 > lautfm-streamer
chmod 755 lautfm-streamer

Use curl to fetch another stream and redirect to you laut.fm station:

curl -L http://stream.laut.fm/eins | ./lautfm-streamer yourstation xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx
curl -L http://stream.laut.fm/eins | ./lautfm-streamer yourstation xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx metadata

The optional third argument metadata is a file containing the metadata sent to the server. The file is watched for changes so updates are promoted.

Stream a local mp3:

cat Atmosphere/WhenLiveGivesYouLemons/02-Puppets.mp3 | ./lautfm-streamer yourstation xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx

You can easily use lame to transcode a file on the fly:

lame ~/Downloads/Atmosphere/WhenLiveGivesYouLemons/02-Puppets.mp3 - | ./lautfm-streamer yourstation xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx

As lame defaults to 128kbit/44.1khz this works without further parameters. Transcode a stream on the fly:

curl -L http://stream.laut.fm/eins | lame - - | ./lautfm-streamer yourstation xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx

You can add auth parameters to curl to stream password protected streams. Or add the --max-time option to automatically stop after a given number of seconds.

You can use a song recognition system like gracenote to add metadata automatically:

mkfifo pipe
curl http://stream1.laut.fm/eins | tee pipe | ./lautfm-streamer yourstation xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx metadata

… and in a separate process (using https://github.com/fabian1811/cmdline-musicdetection):

cat pipe | ./gn_stream_id client_id client_id_tag license_file metadata

Not the gracenote stream identifier will query the gracenote database to recognize the current song and update the metadata file with the appropriate metadata string. lautfm-streamer will catch the changes of the metadata file.

libshout must be installed.

As cross compilation does't work for GO projects with C bindings I can only provide the linux 64 bit binary for now.
