November 3, 20242 yr Hey folks, this is very tough to search for because I keep getting streaming platforms like plex, navidrome, etc. but that's not what I'm looking for. What I want is to take one of my m3u playlists, and serve it up via a live mp3 stream so that folks can just grab the stream url and listen to it in a browser, VLC... wherever... live. Are there any community apps with this capability?
November 4, 20242 yr Icecast + Mopidy is one option. Kind of a pain to set up, and it hasn't been very reliable with large playlists.
November 8, 20242 yr Author Nice, thanks I will have to check it out. A lot of my library is actually flac, so I assume there will have to be some transcoding going on. Any idea if Mopidy handles that? I didn't see any obvious place to look for answers with a quick skim of their documentation. With the weekend coming I'll have some time to sink into it.
