WinAMP for linux ? shoutcast client ?

pleasehelpme · 05-10-2005, 01:22 PM

Is there any winamp player and client port to linux ?

I am runing web tv (streaming video,NSV format)broadcast under windows,and hope there is NSV encoder for linux to replace windows !!

Live video streaming by using usb video box (for windows only?)

therefore,does it means only windows user can possibly watch my movie from winamp ???

is there any others video streaming format other than NSV ?
and work under linux well ,server,client controller and player ?

thanks

mplayer supports NSV format files. I am sure the other players do, as well.

Winamp runs fine for me through Wine too... but I'll probably ditch it if a MILKDROP plugin appears for a linux player

what about xmms it is basically winamp ported!

no problems with totem (xine) with any video formats, but you must install the codecs yourself for them.

I presently am broadcasting an internet radio station. The server settings, when using winamp is IP# 123.456.789.000 the Port is 9876 and the password for access is "sillypuppy"

I would like to use videolan instead of winamp.

My videolan has shoutcast, plus a lot of extra other plugins. My question is that i am not sure exactly where to place the above information into videolan, so i can broadcast via videolan instead of winamp.

Any help would be appreciated.

vlc streams directly to http, it doesn't need/use shoutcast to do so.

here's a sample single stream from the commandline:

Code:

vlc -I http --control http:rc --rc-host :4800 --http-host :7000 --no-rc-show-pos --volume 500 --spdif -vvv /home/laptop/all.m3u --random --sout-keep --sout '#duplicate{dst=display,dst="std{access=http,mux=raw,url=192.168.3.2:8000,user=username,pwd=password}"}'

to break it down somewhat:

vlc starts with an http interface, and allows control through both the http interface on port 7000 and the remote-control (advanced telnet) interface on port 4800

The song position isn't displayed in the rc interface. Startup volume is 500 (can be 0-1024), spdif is on.

It opens the playlist "all.m3u", plays it randomly, doesn't drop the stream between tracks.

The stream out is duplicated - one stream is played locally (display), the second stream is sent raw over http, binds to 192.168.3.2, broadcasts on port 8000, and requires a username and password.

cheers,

I also liked Winamp a lot (and haven't gotten it to work under Wine, don't know why) and nothing that I've seen on linux can really come close. MPlayer is probably the next best thing, and after that, Xine (because it supports a lot of codecs).
