Is it possible to pull track info from an audio stream using PHP? I’ve done some digging and the closest function I can find is stream_get_transports but my host doesn’t support http transports via fsockopen() so I’ll have to do some more tinkering to see what else that function returns.
I’ve been experimenting with binary streams in Node.js, and much to my amazement do actually have a working demo of taking a Shoutcast stream using node-radio-stream and pushing it into a HTML5 element using chunked encoding. But it only works in Safari!
I have created a simple server that uses the fs module to stream an mp3 file to a browser which plays it in an html5 audio element. As it is, the audio streams perfectly fine, however, I can’t seek through the stream, even if the part I seek to has already been buffered.
I’m using a streaming server in Node.js to stream MP3 files. While the whole file streaming it is ok, I cannot use the Content-Range header to stream the file seeking to a start position and util a end position.
I brought this up in my last post but since it was off topic from the original question I’m posting it separately. I’m having trouble with getting my transmitted audio to play back through Web Audio the same way it would sound in a media player. I have tried 2 different transmission protocols, binaryjs and socketio, and neither make a difference when trying to play through Web Audio. To rule out the transportation of the audio data being the issue I created an example that sends the data back to the server after it’s received from the client and dumps the return to stdout. Piping that into VLC results in a listening experience that you would expect to hear.
I’m looking for something to stream audio like radio (playing continuously and clients can join in the middle of a song) with node.js. Is there any node.js module (which I couldn’t find)or anything else that I can use along with node.js to achieve this? Is this possible at all with node.js? If not, what do you recommend to use otherwise? (though, I prefer node.js) It’s ok for me to use HTML5 Audio API and I don’t care about IE support.
Quick version: how to send correct Content-Range headers when don’t know the body length?
This question is a followup to a previous question, that was resolved thanks to @thejh.
