bbc-on-ice

bbc-on-ice is a SHOUTcast (ICY protocol) bridge for BBC radio streams. It adds metadata to the stream so that media players can display it.

Packages

Regular releases are sporadic. git master should be stable enough. You can get a package with the latest development version from Archlinux’s AUR.

Building and Running

Build dependencies: go

$ git clone https://git.janouch.name/p/bbc-on-ice.git
$ cd bbc-on-ice
$ go build

To run the local server:

$ ./bbc-on-ice :8000

Streams have URLs in the following form:

$ mpv http://localhost:8000/nonuk/sbr_low/bbc_radio_one
$ mpv http://localhost:8000/uk/sbr_high/bbc_1xtra

Socket activation

The provided bbc-on-ice.service and bbc-on-ice.socket should do, just change the ExecStart path as needed and place the files appropriately. Then:

$ systemctl enable bbc-on-ice.socket
$ systemctl start bbc-on-ice.socket
