Forgot to mention this in the tutorial, but the address 192.168.1.1 is the IP-address of my PirateBox... so if your PB has a different address you must use that

Setting up an internet radio station on a NUC would be just like setting it up on any computer running a full Linux distro. If you're using Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, you can find all the software you need in the software center. These two tutorials should be enough to get you started: DIY Internet Radio Station and Audio Streaming.

Basically, it's the same process as for installing it on a MR3020, but installation of required software is easier and since you're running Linux on an Intel PC, you've got on-board sound processing so the possibilites are endless. You can stream all kind of audio files, .mp3, .flac, .ogg, .wma etc, and even do live podcasts by streaming from the microphone input.
I get the following error meassge when trying to load the packages on a librarybox version on a MR3040

Collected errors:
* satisfy_dependencies_for: Cannot satisfy the following dependencies for icecast:
* libogg *
* opkg_install_cmd: Cannot install package icecast.
* satisfy_dependencies_for: Cannot satisfy the following dependencies for ices:
* libogg * libvorbis * libogg * libvorbis *
* opkg_install_cmd: Cannot install package ices.

The librarybox doesn't come with the media streaming server minidlna.
This is the reason why those packages are missing during the installation

To get it working, I propose the following:

1. Download the install.zip from [stable.openwrt.piratebox.de]
2. Extract it to somewhere on your desktop
3. Copy over the missing packages from cache folder to your packages folder for the icecast installation
4. After that, put back the USB Stick, turn the box on and try to rerun the command
opkg install -d ext packages/*

You maybe need to retry it once again, if still some packages are missing.

best regards

That got it working. One more question: How do I get icecast and ices to load at boot up so I don't have to ssh into the box to start the services?

add it to /etc/rc.local on the piratebox,
or add it to the /opt/piratbox/bin/hooks/hook_piratebox_start_done.sh file before the exit, then your command gets executed during piratebox start

Has any successfully set up icegenerator with the PB icecast?
If so do you have the pkg?

I need to find something that will broadcast an mp3 stream to the icecaster.


thanks in advance.
