Icecast and Musicpd

2007-09-13T16:17:06Z

Kjelderg: revert previous change. Automatically does not properly describe what I was trying to express. Automagic is a word accepted and used frequently in the open source community.

== Introduction ==
As my laptop's music collection was getting larger and I was wanting more elbow room, I decided it was finally time to offload most of it to a remote machine and figure out some way to access it easily via the internet.
== Setting up Icecast2 ==
The first step was to install Icecast2. I did this from audio/icecast2 in ports, but it can probably be done via pkg_add instead. Once installed, it should be configured. It seems that /usr/local/share/icecast/doc/ has some config examples. In the configuration file, the <source-password>, <admin-password>, and <bind-address> are the main fields that I changed. As I want to be the only one listening to this (which is to say didn't want the stream shared via the internet), I set <bind-address> to 127.0.0.1 . I also changed <user> and <group> to be nobody as I had been starting the server as root.
== Setting up MusicPD ==
The second thing I did was set up musicpd. '''As the version in ports doesn't yet support streaming to the icecast server''', I had to grab the version from their svn (this requires having subversion installed). Go to a directory of you choosing and try this:
<nowiki>svn co https://svn.musicpd.org/mpd/trunk musicpd
cd mpd
./autogen.sh</nowiki>
Now, as autogen.sh (probably a way to make it do the right thing) didn't actually do everything quite right for me I had to export LD_FLAGS=-lc_r and then the following:
./configure --with-libFLAC=/usr/local/ --with-ogg=/usr/local/ \
--with-vorbis=/usr/local/ --disable-tremor --enable-shout \
--enable-ogg --disable-ipv6
Each of these arguments is for a reason. FLAC, ogg, and vorbis install in /usr/local/wherever on freebsd and I guess that the script assumes them to be elsewhere. --disable-tremor is required because tremor and shout are mutually exclusive for mpd. --enable-shout enables shout protocol streaming (which icecast2 uses) and --disable-ipv6 was necessary to overcome a bug with musicpd on freebsd. After that:
gmake && gmake install
With musicpd installed, there's the task of configuring it. From the musicpd port, I copied and filled in this startup script:
#!/bin/sh
#

# PROVIDE: musicpd
# REQUIRE:
# BEFORE:
# KEYWORD: FreeBSD shutdown

# Add the following line to /etc/rc.conf to enable mpd:
#
#musicpd_enable="YES"

. /etc/rc.subr

name=musicpd
rcvar=`set_rcvar`

config=/usr/local/etc/mpd.conf
command=/usr/local/bin/mpd
required_files=$config

musicpd_flags="$musicpd_flags $config"

[ -z "$musicpd_enable" ] && musicpd_enable="NO"
[ -z "$musicpd_flags" ] && musicpd_flags=

load_rc_config $name

run_rc_command "$1"
In /usr/local/etc/mpd.conf I modified the example configuration file (from the doc subdirectory of the svn repository that we checked out earlier) to have the following lines:
music_directory "/mnt/storageDrive/media/music"
playlist_directory "/mnt/storageDrive/media/music"
db_file "/var/mpd/mpd.db"
log_file "/var/mpd/mpd.log"
error_file "/var/mpd/mpd.error"
pid_file "/var/mpd/mpd.pid"
audio_output {
type "shout"
name "my cool stream"
host "127.0.0.1"
port "8000"
mount "/mpd.ogg"
password "sourcepasswordfromicecastconfigfile"
bitrate "128"
format "44100:16:1"
user "source"
}
bind_to_address "127.0.0.1"
Again, the 127.0.0.1 address as I don't want this control available to everyone on the internet. Make sure that the password in this file and <source-password> in icecast's configuration file match. Set the bitrate to be whatever format you would like. MusicPD will reencode all of your music to that bitrate and ogg format as you listen.
Now icecast and musicpd should be installed and configured. To get them to start automagically at boot, Try adding the following to /etc/rc.conf :
#for musicpd
musicpd_enable="YES"
#for icecast
icecast_enable="YES"

== Getting the music to the client ==
Once icecast and musicpd are running, it's very easy to get music to the client. I use ssh port-forwarding to do it.
ssh -N -L6600:127.0.0.1:6600 username@server &
ssh -N -L8000:127.0.0.1:8000 username@server &
And now to enjoy the tunes and control the server, you can install your favourite ogg-player (I'm currently using xmms-kde) and mpd client (kmp here).
== Audioscrobbler support ==
For audioscrobbler support, I am using mpdscribbler downloaded from http://www.frob.nl/projects/scribble/mpdscribble-0.2.7.tar.gz . To install it, I exported LDFLAGS=-lc_r and then did this:
tar -xf mpdscribble-0.2.7.tar.gz
cd mpdscribble-0.2.7
./configure
make
make install
After this, the usual setup procedure is to run setup.sh. Unfortunately the setup.sh script is a bit linuxified so I simply made a config in the following format:
username = username
password = md5ofmypassword
cache = /usr/home/username/.mpdscribble/mpdscribble.cache
log = /usr/home/username/.mpdscribble/mpdscribble.log
verbose = 2
Just running mpdscribble after this works for me without trouble. To get the md5 of a password, the following works:
md5 -s 'My super cool password'

High Resolution Console

2005-12-16T02:18:37Z

Kjelderg: tiny corrections on what I saw as incorrect.

If you come to FreeBSD after using Linux, one of the first things you may notice is the lack of high-resolution consoles. The default is text-mode 80x25 characters. Although high-resolution is desirable to many, it's certainly not required. If you want to have a 1024x768(or even higher) console resolution, it's fairly easy to set up, just requires a kernel recompile and setting the mode you want to use in the /etc/rc.conf file.

First off, we need to edit the kernel config to add two options. I won't go into too much depth here, as this article isn't about how to config your kernel. For my example I will use the 'GENERIC' kernel config.

cd /usr/src/sys/i386/conf
cp GENERIC VESAKERN
vi VESAKERN

add the following lines:

options VESA # Build VESA module into kernel
options SC_PIXEL_MODE # Allows syscons to act on pixels rather than text

Save & exit

cd /usr/src
make buildkernel KERNCONF=VESAKERN
make installkernel KERNCONF=VESAKERN

When that is done, reboot to use the new kernel. Upon reboot, you will notice no change initially. Log in as root and enter:

vidcontrol -i mode

You should see a long listof all available resolutions, including all of the modes that the video card is capable of. Personally, 1024x768 console is plenty big, or small, depending on how you think about it. On my system the mode number for 1024x768x24 is 280. To test the desired mode, use the following command:

vidcontrol MODE_280

Your console should jump to that. If it works, great. If the screen goes blank, your card/monitor can't support that, and you need to use something else. You may need to switch to different terminal to try one that works. Once you find a setting that you like, we can add it to /etc/rc.conf.

allscreens_flags="MODE_280"

This will tell all terminal screens to use the desired resolution. Go ahead and reboot to try it. You will not see the large screen resolution until rc.conf is processed. This is different to Linux where the bootloader passes the resolution providing for a full boot-sequence in high-resolution. On my system, it jumps to high-resolution just before loading the Linux ABI support.

Icecast and Musicpd

2005-12-15T15:27:58Z

Kjelderg:

== Introduction ==
As my laptop's music collection was getting larger and I was wanting more elbow room, I decided it was finally time to offload most of it to a remote machine and figure out some way to access it easily via the internet.
== Setting up Icecast2 ==
The first step was to install Icecast2. I did this from audio/icecast2 in ports, but it can probably be done via pkg_add instead. Once installed, it should be configured. It seems that /usr/local/share/icecast/doc/ has some config examples. In the configuration file, the <source-password>, <admin-password>, and <bind-address> are the main fields that I changed. As I want to be the only one listening to this (which is to say didn't want the stream shared via the internet), I set <bind-address> to 127.0.0.1 . I also changed <user> and <group> to be nobody as I had been starting the server as root.
== Setting up MusicPD ==
The second thing I did was set up musicpd. As the version in ports doesn't yet support streaming to the icecast server, I had to grab the version from their svn (this requires having subversion installed). Go to a directory of you choosing and try this:
svn co https://svn.musicpd.org/mpd/trunk musicpd
cd mpd
./autogen.sh
Now, as autogen.sh (probably a way to make it do the right thing) didn't actually do everything quite right for me I had to export LD_FLAGS=-lc_r and then the following:
./configure --with-libFLAC=/usr/local/ --with-ogg=/usr/local/ \
--with-vorbis=/usr/local/ --disable-tremor --enable-shout \
--enable-ogg --disable-ipv6
Each of these arguments is for a reason. FLAC, ogg, and vorbis install in /usr/local/wherever on freebsd and I guess that the script assumes them to be elsewhere. --disable-tremor is required because tremor and shout are mutually exclusive for mpd. --enable-shout enables shout protocol streaming (which icecast2 uses) and --disable-ipv6 was necessary to overcome a bug with musicpd on freebsd. After that:
gmake && gmake install
With musicpd installed, there's the task of configuring it. From the musicpd port, I copied and filled in this startup script:
#!/bin/sh
#

# PROVIDE: musicpd
# REQUIRE:
# BEFORE:
# KEYWORD: FreeBSD shutdown

# Add the following line to /etc/rc.conf to enable mpd:
#
#musicpd_enable="YES"

. /etc/rc.subr

name=musicpd
rcvar=`set_rcvar`

config=/usr/local/etc/mpd.conf
command=/usr/local/bin/mpd
required_files=$config

musicpd_flags="$musicpd_flags $config"

[ -z "$musicpd_enable" ] && musicpd_enable="NO"
[ -z "$musicpd_flags" ] && musicpd_flags=

load_rc_config $name

run_rc_command "$1"
In /usr/local/etc/mpd.conf I modified the example configuration file (from the doc subdirectory of the svn repository that we checked out earlier) to have the following lines:
music_directory "/mnt/storageDrive/media/music"
playlist_directory "/mnt/storageDrive/media/music"
db_file "/var/mpd/mpd.db"
log_file "/var/mpd/mpd.log"
error_file "/var/mpd/mpd.error"
pid_file "/var/mpd/mpd.pid"
audio_output {
type "shout"
name "my cool stream"
host "127.0.0.1"
port "8000"
mount "/mpd.ogg"
password "sourcepasswordfromicecastconfigfile"
bitrate "128"
format "44100:16:1"
user "source"
}
bind_to_address "127.0.0.1"
Again, the 127.0.0.1 address as I don't want this control available to everyone on the internet. Make sure that the password in this file and <source-password> in icecast's configuration file match. Set the bitrate to be whatever format you would like. MusicPD will reencode all of your music to that bitrate and ogg format as you listen.
Now icecast and musicpd should be installed and configured. To get them to start automagically at boot, Try adding the following to /etc/rc.conf :
#for musicpd
musicpd_enable="YES"
#for icecast
icecast_enable="YES"
== Getting the music to the client ==
Once icecast and musicpd are running, it's very easy to get music to the client. I use ssh port-forwarding to do it.
ssh -N -L6600:127.0.0.1:6600 username@server &
ssh -N -L8000:127.0.0.1:8000 username@server &
And now to enjoy the tunes and control the server, you can install your favourite ogg-player (I'm currently using xmms-kde) and mpd client (kmp here).
== Audioscrobbler support ==
For audioscrobbler support, I am using mpdscribbler downloaded from http://www.frob.nl/projects/scribble/mpdscribble-0.2.7.tar.gz . To install it, I exported LDFLAGS=-lc_r and then did this:
tar -xf mpdscribble-0.2.7.tar.gz
cd mpdscribble-0.2.7
./configure
make
make install
After this, the usual setup procedure is to run setup.sh. Unfortunately the setup.sh script is a bit linuxified so I simply made a config in the following format:
username = username
password = md5ofmypassword
cache = /usr/home/username/.mpdscribble/mpdscribble.cache
log = /usr/home/username/.mpdscribble/mpdscribble.log
verbose = 2
Just running mpdscribble after this works for me without trouble. To get the md5 of a password, the following works:
md5 -s 'My super cool password'

Again, the 127.0.0.1 address as I don't want this control available to everyone on the internet. Make sure that the password in this file and <source-password> in icecast's configuration file match. Set the bitrate to be whatever format you would like. MusicPD will reencode all of your music to that bitrate and ogg format as you listen.
