Stream OS X audio input to an mp3 webcast.
npm install webcast-osx-audioStreams Mac OS X audio input an mp3 webcast.
To install the module for use in your projects:
``bash`
npm install -g webcast-osx-audio
Global installation exposes the webcast-audio command to your shell. Running
this command will start listening to input, and connect to a local Chromecast
with a stream of that input.
To direct system audio, use [Soundflower][soundflower].
`bash
$ webcast-audio --help
Usage: webcast-audio [options]
Options:
-p, --port The port that the streaming server will listen on. [3000]
-b, --bitrate The bitrate for the mp3 encoded stream. [192]
-m, --mono The stream defaults to stereo. Set to mono with this flag.
-s, --samplerate The sample rate for the mp3 encoded stream. [44100]
-u, --url The relative URL that the stream will be hosted at. [stream.mp3]
-i, --iface The public interface that should be reported. Selects the first interface by default.
--version print version and exit
`
- The interface option is only for reporting the IP address that we're listening
on, although we're actually listening on all interfaces.
Feel free to send pull requests! I'm not picky, but would like the following:
1. Write tests for any new features, and do not break existing tests.
2. Be sure to point out any changes that break API.
- v1.0.0
Uses latest [osx-audio][]
- v0.1.3
Rewrites stream handling, fixes issues with a wrong interface being selected,
and fixes the --iface` option causing an error.
- v0.1.2
Handles piping of lame audio differently, to avoid some skipping.
- v0.1.1
Updates osx-audio dependency.
- v0.1.0
First release. Splits from [chromecast-osx-audio][].
