Use oddcastv3 + icecast2 to implement a live streaming media system

A recent project needs to implement a live streaming media system, so it is a loose on the Internet to see if there are any open source technologies available for use, and a good solution is found, I would like to share with you the following:

Related resource websites:
Http://www.chinavideoonline.com/
Http://www.liumeiti.com/
These two streaming media technologies are basically complete. I did not find them for foreign websites. e is limited.
There are several open-source technical websites:
Http://www.icecast.org/This is the server-side open source technology site
Http://www.icecast.org/3rdparty.php this location lists many sources and listener technology websites that support Icecast
Http://www.gnuware.com/icecast/ this is a help documentation resource for Icecast, unofficial

A set of solutions I have found:
Here, we will briefly introduce three important roles in using Icecast as a Streaming Media Server solution.
Source: The audio source, which is responsible for collecting audio sources. Both VOD and live video can be used.
Castserver: Broadcast Server
Listener: Acceptor

For source I am using oddcastv3, you can get it from http://www.oddsock.org/tools/oddcastv3/ here
Castserver uses icecast2.2.0, mainly because it supports HTTP and can be obtained from the http://www.icecast.org/download.php.
Listener can use Winamp, but the source encoding format must be supported. I use MP3 lame encoder.

With oddcast and Icecast, we don't need to write any program at all. The rest is some simple configuration.

For oddcast, it is worth noting that it is only a plug-in of Winamp, so it must have Winamp to run. There is basically no need to change the oddcast configuration. First, add an encoder. Currently, this version supports Ogg Vorbis and lame. It may also be because my application requires less, and the two main concerns are the live recording method. In addition, note that there is an encoder passowrd input box in Basic Setting. This is the same as the source password in Icecast. I didn't figure it out at first, and it took a lot of time.

Icecast is also very easy to use, basically without any changes, just start it directly. I will not talk nonsense about his management functions with detailed instructions in help.

It's so easy to complete the configuration and start, so that your friends can hear it. It must be good.
