It may be not allowed to sell/use products - based on this source code in these countries. Check this out first! - -COPYRIGHT of MP3 music: - Please note, that the duplicating of copyrighted music without explicit - permission violates the rights of the owner. - -***************************************************************************** - - using mp3cast~ external for Pure Data - -Open the help-mp3cast~.pd to understand how it works. -In this patch, you must send the messages to mp3cast~ -in the following order : - -1/ password ***** -2/ icecast | mp3cast -3/ connect host port -4/ pd dsp 1 - -Parameters sent to mp3cast~ object : - - Sampling Rate (Hz): -Possible values are 48000, 44100 and 32000. If Pd runs at a different sampling -rate, LAME will resample the signal. Default value for mp3 sampling rate is Pd's -sampling rate. - - Bitrate (kbit/s): -Possible values are 32, 40, 48, 56, 64, 80, 96, 112, 128, 160, 192, 224, 256 -and 320. Default is 224. - - Mode: -Possible values are 0 (stereo), 1 (joint stereo, the default), 2 (dual channel) -and 3 (mono). - - Password: -The default is 'pd', can be changed with a message "passwd yourpassword". - - Server: -Use message "connect name_of_your_server.com port" to connect (same as with -Pd's netsend). 'port' is the number specified in the server's config file. -Attention (for SHOUTcast users): The actual port number used is one higher! -Standard would be 8000 resulting in a socket at port 8001!!! Bare this in mind -when configuring proxys or using mp3cast~ in connection with netsend / -netreceive. For IceCast, the port number used is the same as specified. - - Outlet: -The outlet outputs an int, 1 if connected to SHOUTcast server, 0 if not. This could -be used to build an automatic reconnect mechanism. - - Other things: -mp3cast~ prints the current status (connection, login, LAME status) to the pd -window. To see the current settings, send it a message "print" and mp3 settings -will be displayed. -Note that changing any mp3 settings will require to disconnect and reconnect again! -This has to be done manually. - - Known problems: -If you turn off audio processing when you are connected with the server, no data will -be sent to it. This will make the server disconnect after a certain time ('no data' -error in server log). mp3cast~ does not recongnise this and attempts to keep on -streaming. To avoid this set 'AutoDumpSourceTime' in the servers config file to a -fairly high value preventing the server from closing the socket to fast. - -ALLOWED QUALITY FACTOR : - - -q <arg> <arg> = 0...9. Default -q 5 - -q 0: Highest quality, very slow - -q 9: Poor quality, but fast - -h Same as -q 2. Recommended. - -f Same as -q 7.
