DudelDu
DudelDu is a simple audio/video streaming server using the SHOUTcast protocol.
Features
- Supports various streaming clients: VLC, ServeStream, ... and most Icecast clients.
- Supports sending of meta data (sending artist and title to the streaming client).
- Playlists are simple JSON files and data files are normal media (e.g.
.mp3,.nsv) files on disk. - Can be used as a stand-alone server or embedded in other Go projects.
- Supports HTTP basic user authentication.
Getting Started (standalone application)
You can download a pre-compiled package for Windows (win64) or Linux (amd64) here.
You can also pull the latest docker image of DudelDu from Dockerhub:
docker pull krotik/dudeldu
Create an empty directory, change into it and run the following to start DudelDu:
docker run --rm --user $(id -u):$(id -g) -v $PWD:/data -p 9091:9091 krotik/dudeldu -host 0.0.0.0 <playlist>
The container will have access to the current local directory and all subfolders.
Demo
DudelDu comes with a demo playlist. After extracting DudelDu switch to the directory examples/demo. Run ./run_demo.sh (Linux) or run_demo.bat (Windows) to start the server.
Open a browser and view the demo.html in the examples/demo directory. To access the demo streams you are prompted for a username and password. The credentials are:
username: web
password: web
You can also point your favourite audio streaming client (e.g. VLC) to the streaming URL:
http://localhost:9091/bach/cello_suite1
The demo includes also a small video in the Nullsoft Streaming Video format (NSV). To see it point a video streaming client (e.g. VLC) to:
http://localhost:9091/trailer/big_buck_bunny
Note: By default you can only reach the streams via localhost. Use the -host parameter with a host name or IP address to expose it to external network peers.
