Connect to the Raspberry Pi with SSH or use an HDMI display if you are unfamiliar with SSH. Enter and execute the following commands in the terminal:
wget https://github.com/x20mar/darkice-with-mp3-for-raspberry-pi/blob/master/darkice_1.0.1-999~mp3+1_armhf.deb?raw=true
mv darkice_1.0.1-999~mp3+1_armhf.deb?raw=true darkice_1.0.1-999~mp3+1_armhf.deb
sudo apt-get install libmp3lame0 libtwolame0
sudo dpkg -i darkice_1.0.1-999~mp3+1_armhf.deb
Darkice file on our server:
wget https://freefm.co.uk/Downloads/darkice_1.0.1-999_mp3+1_armhf.deb
How to Configure Darkice in Raspbian
After the Icecast2 installation, we need to make a Config file for DarkIce in Raspbian. Start by entering the following command in the terminal:
sudo nano /etc/darkice.cfg
I preffer this configuration, example is for Shoutcast and two Icecast streams:
[general]
duration = 0 # duration of encoding, in seconds. 0 means forever
bufferSecs = 2 # size of internal slip buffer, in seconds
reconnect = yes # reconnect to the server(s) if disconnected
#realtime = yes # run the encoder with POSIX realtime priority
#rtprio = 3
# this section describes the audio input that will be streamed
[input]
device = hw:1,0 # depends from your audio input
sampleRate = 48000 #48000/44100
bitsPerSample = 16 # bits per sample. try 16
channel = 2 # channels. 1 = mono, 2 = stereo
[shoutcast-0]
format = mp3
bitrateMode = cbr
bitrate = 128 #shoutcast streams can be up to 128k only , if for free
quality = 1.0 #0.1-1.0
server = yourserverip
port = 8001
password = *****
name = My stream # name of the stream
url = http://stream.com # URL related to the stream
genre = dance # genre of the stream
public = yes # advertise this stream? yes/no
# this section describes a streaming connection to an IceCast2 server
# there may be up to 8 of these sections, named [icecast2-0] ... [icecast2-7]
# these can be mixed with [icecast-x] and [shoutcast-x] sections
[icecast2-0]
bitrateMode = abr # average bit rate abr/vbr/cbr
format = vorbis # format of the stream: ogg vorbis
bitrate = 256 # bitrate of the stream sent to the server
server = yourserverip
# host name of the server
port = 8020 # port of the IceCast2 server, usually 8000
password = ***** # source password to the IceCast2 server
mountPoint = stream # mount point of this stream on the IceCast2 server
name = My stream
# name of the stream
description = Radio 1
# description of the stream
url = http:// # URL related to the stream
genre = Dance # genre of the stream
public = yes # advertise this stream?
# this section describes a streaming connection to an IceCast2 server
# there may be up to 8 of these sections, named [icecast2-0] ... [icecast2-7]
# these can be mixed with [icecast-x] and [shoutcast-x] sections
[icecast2-1]
bitrateMode = abr # average bit rate
format = vorbis # format of the stream: ogg vorbis
bitrate = 128 # bitrate of the stream sent to the server
server = yourserverip
# host name of the server
port = 8020 # port of the IceCast2 server, usually 8000
password = ***** # source password to the IceCast2 server
mountPoint = stream-128.ogg # mount point of this stream on the IceCast2 server
name = My stream 128k
# name of the stream
description = Radio 1
# description of the stream
url = http:// # URL related to the stream
genre = Dance # genre of the stream
public = yes # advertise this stream?
Save and exit. Then Add following line in crontab: ( enter: crontab -e)
@reboot /usr/bin/darkice
