− | These instructions show you how to purchase and setup a completely self contained Raspberry Pi to broadcast a live audio feed to Broadcastify.com
| |
− | | |
− | These instructions have been verified and tested as working on a Raspberry Pi 2 Model B Project Board - 1GB RAM - 900 MHz Quad-Core CPU. Also installed and working on a Raspberry Pi 3 Model B (1 GB RAM - 1.2GHz 64 bit Quad-Core CPU - built in 802.11n wireless).

− | == Install Raspbian OS ==
| |
− | | |
− | All testing and configuration was done using Raspbian
| |
− | | |
− | * Follow the instructions here to install the OS on the memory card you purchased:
| |
− | ** https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/installation/installing-images/README.md
| |
− | | |
− | == Install pre-reqs and update raspberry pi to latest version ==
| |
− | | |
− | sudo apt-get update
| |
− | sudo apt-get upgrade
| |
− | sudo apt-get install git cmake libusb-1.0-0.dev build-essential lame
| |
− | sudo apt-get install libmp3lame-dev libvorbis-dev libshout-dev libtwolame0 libtwolame-dev
| |
− | sudo reboot
| |
− | | |
− | == Configure the Sound Card ==
| |
− | | |
− | * Plug your scanner's headphone jack into the mic jack on the USB sound card dongle
| |
− | * Start alsamixer
| |
− | | |
− | pi@raspberrypi:~# alsamixer
| |
− | | |
− | * press F6, choose the "USB Headphone Set" entry
| |
− | * press your tab key to select the "Capture" device volume control
| |
− | * use your "up arrow" key to adjust the level to it's lowest level possible (6)
| |
− | * press escape to exist alsamixer
| |
− | * run the following command to save the volume settings
| |
− |
| |
− | sudo alsactl store
| |
− | | |
− | == Two Choices of Software to Broadcast ==
| |
− | | |
− | We recommend the darkice install and configuration method
| |
− | | |
− | === Method 1: Darkice Install and Configuration (Recommended) ===
| |
− | | |
− | * download the precompiled version of darkice
| |
− | wget http://s.broadcastify.com/darkice/darkice_bcfy_v01.tar.gz
| |
− | | |
− | * uncompress the files
| |
− | tar zxvf darkice_bcfy_v01.tar.gz
| |
− | | |
− | * move the files to the proper places and make sure they are executable
| |
− | sudo mv darkice /usr/bin
| |
− | sudo mv darkice1 /etc/init.d
| |
− | sudo mv darkice.cfg /etc/darkice1.cfg <--- note the "1" in the /etc/darkice1.cfg you are copying to
| |
− | | |
− | * Edit the /etc/darkice1.cfg file to match your settings, including the sound card you are using, your feed server, mount, password, and description, then exit and save the file
| |
− | | |
− | sudo nano /etc/darkice1.cfg
| |
− | | |
− | * Enable the feed to start broadcasting at boot
| |
− | | |
− | sudo update-rc.d darkice1 defaults
| |
− | | |
− | * Start your feed
| |
− | | |
− | sudo service darkice1 start
| |
− | | |
− | === Method 2: Ezstream Install and Configuration ===
| |
− | | |
− | sudo apt-get install ezstream
| |
− | | |
− | Create the following configuration file at '''/etc/ezstream_bcfy.xml''' and replace with your mount, password, and stream name. If you plan on having multiple streams make sure and create a separate named configuration file (i.e.'/etc/ezstream_bcfy2.xml) for each stream and reference accordingly in your command script below.
| |
− | | |
− | <ezstream>
| |
− | <url>http://audio#.broadcastify.com:80/your_mount</url>
| |
− | <sourcepassword>your_source_password</sourcepassword>
| |
− | <format>MP3</format>
| |
− | <filename>stdin</filename>
| |
− | <svrinfoname>Stream Name</svrinfoname>
| |
− | <svrinfourl>http://www.broadcastify.com</svrinfourl>
| |
− | <svrinfogenre>Scanner</svrinfogenre>
| |
− | <svrinfodescription></svrinfodescription>
| |
− | <svrinfobitrate>16</svrinfobitrate>
| |
− | <svrinfochannels>1</svrinfochannels>
| |
− | <svrinfosamplerate>22050</svrinfosamplerate>
| |
− | <svrinfopublic>0</svrinfopublic>
| |
− | </ezstream>
| |
− | | |
− | * Run this command to start the sound card broadcast
| |
− | | |
− | arecord -f dat -c 1 -D hw:1,0 | \
| |
− | /usr/bin/lame -r -s 48 --resample 22.05 -m m -b 16 --cbr --lowpass 4 - - | \
| |
− | /usr/bin/ezstream -q -c /etc/ezstream_bcfy1.xml > /var/log/bcfy1.log 2>&1 &
| |
− | | |
− | Note: very little volume will be needed from your scanner - adjust the levels as appropriate for a good sounding feed.
