TV-Lite

Relcast is a lightweight command-line Icecast/Shoutcast player and transcoder, built on top of FFmpeg's libav* libraries. It behaves similarly to the now-abandoned sc_trans program. The code is in a very alpha stage, it may lack features, and may behave erraticaly sometimes, but I am successfully using it to stream music to a Shoutcast server. Playlists are simple text files with one full path of a song file per row, just the way sc_trans was using.
I keep running, as a hobby of mine, a small online station called "Radio Condor". There I am using this small program as a source of music broadcasting to a Shoutcast server. You can hear it in action.

It only runs on the Linux operating system. It is meant to run on VPS-es and other self-hosting environments.

Features

• Transcodes content from a playlist file source or a live source (broadcaster application) to Icecast/Shoutcast servers.
• On-the-fly transcoding between MP3, Ogg Vorbis, Opus, AAC (ADTS), and FLAC.
• Per-stream sample rate and channel count override (resample/downmix via libswresample).
• Playlist mode: loops over a local list with smooth crossfades between tracks (natural end-of-track fades, forced skip, and hot playlist-file reload — all controllable at runtime via signals).
• Live DJ takeover (live_enable = 1): a SHOUTcast v1-style TCP listener that lets an authenticated DJ client take over the output live, automatically crossfading in and out of the playlist, with priority-based "kick" semantics between multiple credentials. IPv6 is supported.
