GNUMP3d

  • GNUMP3d - a streaming server for MP3s, OGG vorbis files, movies and other media formats.

trx

  • trx - a simple toolset for broadcasting live audio from Linux. It sends and receives encoded audio over IP networks, via a soundcard or audio interface. It can be used for point-to-point audio links or multicast, eg. private transmitter links for a radio station or other live audio distribution. In contrast to traditional streaming, high quality wideband audio (such as music) can be sent with low-latency, typically as low as a few milliseconds, and incredibly fast recovery from dropouts. It works favourable as a replacement for traditional ISDN lines and hardware ISDN codecs. Features include: Very simple to set up, Low latency with fast recovery from dropouts, Full control over latency and buffers, Supports IPv4 and IPv6, including multicast. Unlike TCP streaming such as Icecast, trx uses RTP/UDP with handling of dropped packets and network congestion that is more appropriate to live or realtime audio. Much of this comes courtesy of the brilliant Opus audio codec. The result is an incredibly graceful handling of network loss or dropouts.

ARAS

ffplayout

  • ffplayout - the 24/7 cloud ready playout solution. ffplayout is made mostly for Linux, but the engine can run everywhere, where Rust can be compile and ffmpeg run. But outside of Linux you have to use your one startup/daemon solution. The most tested system is Debian, if you have permission problems on systems with Selinux you have to get help from communities how have experience in that area

ffplayout comes in three programs, which are interdependent:

  • ffplayout; this program can run by it self and don’t need the other ones if you don’t need a GUI, then you will be totally fine with it
  • ffplayout-api (ffpapi) the API is the interface between the frontend and the engine, with that you can control the engine
  • ffplayout-frontend the frontend gives you a web based GUI for managing the engine and the media storage

When we talk about the features, we mostly talk about what the ffplayout engine can do. Because this is the heart of the project, and the other ones are only for controlling. The main idea behind ffplayout is, that it works with playlists. Every day has its one playlist, so to have a continuous endless stream every playlist needs to be 24 hours long. When a playlist is not long enough the engine will fill the rest with a filler clip, or with black. Is the playlist longer it will be trimmed. The playlist will be dynamically readed, that mean that you can still edit it, while it is already playing. But you can only change or add clips on a position in the future and next but one clip. In other words: when clip 7 in playlist is currently playing, you can change and add clips after position 9. A second scenario is to, that ffplayout can play clips from a given folder. The engine also monitor this folder for changes. If clips are added; deleted or moved, the engine recognize this and update its file list. the folder mode has two options: 1. it can play in sorted order, or 2. it can play in a random order.

OBPlayer is built with rules based intelligence to continue broadcasting no matter what happens. It functions by continually syncing with OBServer, looking for updated schedules, media, and priority broadcasts. If there is a blank spot in the schedule, it falls back to a Default Playlist. If that fails, it goes into Fallback Media Mode. If that fails, it plays from the analog input bypass. Finally, it will play a test signal as a last resort. OBPlayer will always play valid CAP (Common Alerting Protocol) Alerts at the highest priority. OBPlayer can be run in a variety of configurations: Headless OBPlayer (CLI Process); LIVE Assist with Mobile HTML5; Touch Screen interface; GTK desktop application for a Digital Display and output to CATV Standalone Emergency Alerting; CAP Player supporting audio, image and video; Support For IPAWS CAP Profile Version 1.0 via Alert-Hub

Video

See also Video, Visuals


  • https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Switched_video - or switched digital video (SDV), sometimes referred to as switched broadcast (SWB), is a telecommunications industry term for a network scheme for distributing digital video via a cable. Switched video sends the digital video in a more efficient manner so that additional uses may be made of the freed up bandwidth. The scheme applies to digital video distribution both on typical cable TV systems using QAM channels, or on IPTV systems. Users of analog video transmitted on the cable are unaffected.







Systems

IPTV

  • https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPTV - the delivery of television content over Internet Protocol (IP) networks. This is in contrast to delivery through traditional terrestrial, satellite, and cable television formats. Unlike downloaded media, IPTV offers the ability to stream the source media continuously. As a result, a client media player can begin playing the content (such as a TV channel) almost immediately. This is known as streaming media.




  • Megacubo - an intuitive, multi-language and cross-platform IPTV player with support for history, bookmarks and much more. You can add as many IPTV lists you want (M3U format) and record live broadcasts to your PC or device. With Miniplayer mode, you can work or navigate on your PC while watching any broadcast.

RTSP

  • https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real_Time_Streaming_Protocol - a network control protocol designed for use in entertainment and communications systems to control streaming media servers. The protocol is used for establishing and controlling media sessions between end points. Clients of media servers issue VHS-style commands, such as play, record and pause, to facilitate real-time control of the media streaming from the server to a client (Video On Demand) or from a client to the server (Voice Recording). The transmission of streaming data itself is not a task of RTSP. Most RTSP servers use the Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP) in conjunction with Real-time Control Protocol (RTCP) for media stream delivery. However, some vendors implement proprietary transport protocols. The RTSP server software from RealNetworks, for example, also used RealNetworks' proprietary Real Data Transport (RDT).

SRT

  • https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Reliable_Transport - an open source video transport protocol developed originally by Haivision. According to SRT Alliance, an organisation that promotes the technology, it optimises streaming performance across unpredictable networks, such as the Internet, by dynamically adapting to the real-time network conditions between transport endpoints. This helps minimise effects of jitter and bandwidth changes, while error-correction mechanisms help minimise packet loss. SRT supports end-to-end encryption with AES.[1] When performing retransmissions, SRT only attempts to retransmit packets for a limited amount of time based on the latency as configured by the application.

The high-quality is achieved either by using uncompressed streams or streams with very low compression ratio. End-to-end transmission latency (i.e., all the way from the camera to the display) is about 100ms, but it varies based on camera and capture cards being used. UltraGrid was originally a research project used to demonstrate the possibilities of 10Gbps networks and to study multi-point data distribution in such environments. Recent advances in the field of GPU-accelerated low-latency codecs extend its usability also to Gigabit networks. UltraGrid is supported on PCs with Linux operating system and Macs with MacOS X.

These consist of: IEEE 802.1BA: Audio Video Bridging (AVB) Systems; IEEE 802.1AS: Timing and Synchronization for Time-Sensitive Applications (gPTP); IEEE 802.1Qat: Stream Reservation Protocol (SRP); and IEEE 802.1Qav: Forwarding and Queuing for Time-Sensitive Streams (FQTSS).

Wifibroadcast




  • https://github.com/rodizio1/EZ-WifiBroadcast - a radically simple digital data transmission system. A bidirectional data link is established using commercial off-the-shelf hardware like WiFi modules and a pair of Raspberry Pi computers. Coupled with special software this unique system allowes transmission of low latency HD video, telemetry and control data between endpoints. In comparison to a classical wireless connection Ez-WifiBroadcast tries to imitate the famous properties of an analog link like graceful signal degradation and no association between the endpoints.EZ-WifiBroadcast system is based on Befinitiv's Wifibroadcast project but since then has signicantly evolved and matured thanks to the active support from open source community members.



  • https://github.com/OpenHD/Open.HD - This project uses ordinary Wi-Fi in a way that replicates the good characteristics of analog radio. We are transmitting and receiving HD video, telemetry, audio, and control data all in one solution. Our primary user group is FPV UAV users. As such the display/receiver side also includes a very full featured OSD. This is also augmented by an optional android app that connects to the system and facilitates settings changes.



  • Long-distance Video Streaming · PX4 Developer Guide - This page shows how to set up a companion computer with a camera (Logitech C920 or RaspberryPi camera) such that the video stream is transferred from the UAV to a ground computer and displayed in QGroundControl. The mechanism also provide a bidirectional telemetry link (i.e. like SiK radio). This setup uses WiFi in unconnected (broadcast) mode and software from the Wifibroadcast project.

  • https://github.com/SecUpwN/Spotify-AdKiller - We all love Spotify, but sometimes people (like us) want to throw a party without having to listen to interrupting ads before having bought Spotify Premium. Well, with this killer project, now you can! This is for testing purposes ONLY! Spotify is a fantastic service and worth every penny. This script is NOT meant to circumvent buying premium! Please do consider switching to premium to support Spotify - especially if you're going to use it on mobile. If the script does not work for you, help us improve it!



  • https://github.com/dtcooper/raspotify - a Debian package and associated repository for Debian Stable (Currently Debian 11 "Bullseye") and other Debian Stable based/compatible OS's (your mileage may vary) which thinly wraps a fork of the awesome librespot library by Paul Lietar and others up as a systemd daemon. Raspotify is intended to be used in a headless enviroment. For desktop OS's spotifyd offers similar functionality and is a better choice. If you're looking for a turnkey audio solution for Raspberry Pi's with Spotify Connect support we recommend moOde™ audio player. Librespot, and therefore Raspotify, requires a premium account.




  • https://github.com/librespot-org/librespot - an open source client library for Spotify. It enables applications to use Spotify's service to control and play music via various backends, and to act as a Spotify Connect receiver. It is an alternative to the official and now deprecated closed-source libspotify. Additionally, it will provide extra features which are not available in the official library.


  • https://github.com/kraxarn/spotify-qt - An unofficial Spotify client using Qt as a simpler, lighter alternative to the official client. Please note that you need an actual Spotify client running, for example librespot, which can be configured from within the app.


  • https://github.com/kimtore/visp - an interactive console client for Spotify, written in Go. Its interface is similar to Vim, and aims to be fast, configurable, and practical. Visp means whisk, and just like the simple mechanical tool it makes it easy to create that smooth and perfect mixture through the power of manual control, and without any unfortunate lumps. This interface has many features that involve sorting, searching, and navigating. It’s designed to let you navigate your music collection effectively and efficiently. This project is a fork of Practical Music Search and contains a lot of the same functionality, but is geared towards Spotify instead of Music Player Daemon. Visp was born due to significant differences between the Spotify and MPD APIs. Also, forking the project is a convenient opportunity to depart from the unfortunate acronym PMS.
