Savonet

We have migrated our repository to subversion. CVS won't be updated anymore! So, please switch to svn if you want the development version of savonet. (0 comments)

There has been some activity recently even though it is not so much visible. First, we have a brand new website which is a wiki and should be much more up-to-date. Moreover, we've been remotivated by the fact that we have potential new users. We might even release strider some day, who knows.... (0 comments)

Although the remaining active developers have been very busy with real life these days, the project is not dead.We worked on underground minor bugfixes, and basically waited a month for this news: our test webradio reached a uptime of one month!The ... [More] other nice news is that the system is spreading a bit, since we have our (probably) first non-developer user. The webradio at Centrale Paris, Radio Pi, is moving to liquidsoap. They used to run a spaghetti system, and are currently moving to liquidsoap for a cleaner system with more features. The migration came sonner than expected, since they unfortunately had some hardware problems causing loss of much data and breakage of the old system.This is a very good motivation for more bug-fixes, updating of the documentation, making the system easier to install and use, and probably another release... let's say before summer, we're still busy computer science phd students ;) (0 comments) [Less]

Thanks to a new partner (www.radiopi.org) liquidsoap development took new directions and is very active. Radiopi should eventually move to liquidsoap, but they needed more. We gave them.Liquidsoap can now have output nodes at any position in the ... [More] scheduler tree, not only at the root. And those outputs can be desactivated from the telnet interface, which has been restarted from scratch.We added features for live shows. First, a liquidsoap (server-side) can take a vorbis http stream as input. Then, a liquidsoap (client-side) can use alsa as input-output, together with an usual icecast output to stream the emission.Some GUIs are coming for easier liquidsoap controlling, particularly needed for live shows.

The savonet project aims at building a complex webradio system, featuring many general-purpose libraries for ocaml. The heart, liquidsoap, is a light but powerful audio stream generator, programmable and highly extensible thanks to many abstractions: ... [More] input (format&protocol), output, stream generation & combination... Written in OCaml, the project contributed many bindings for wide-spread libraries such as vorbis, mad, shout, ssl.We are proud to finally release a powerful and stable version of liquidsoap, coming with new releases of many of our libraries, ocaml-vorbis, ocaml-mad, ocaml-shout, ocaml-fetch, etc.Ebuilds are already available for easy installation, and debian packages will be coming soon.

Liquidsoap is now quite stable, we expect the last bugs corrected were the only survivors, and we'll probably start the release process soon!More and more doc is being written, you can already checkout on our homepage. (0 comments)
