Streaming mp3 fromVLC / Icecast to Android

Here are some tips for streaming music to android mobile devices from a PC.

Platform which has been used fo test:
  • Ubuntu 11.10 oneiric + a NAS for storing music (windows can fit as well)
  • Videolan VLC 1.1.12 (providing mp3 flow)
  • icecast 2.3.2 (shoutcast radio)
  • Winamp 1.2.12 for Android mobile(music player)
  • Android-vlc-remote for Android (remote control for VLC)
Start icecast server
icecast2 -c icecast.xml
The icecast xml config file is the original one. don't modify anything at this stage. 












Setup VLC in order to stream mp3 instead ogg format














Close VLC

Prepare a playlist (ie: scarlatti.m3u)

with Banshee or whatever.

Launch VLC in command line

vlc scarlatti.m3u --sout '#standard{access=shout,mux=ogg,dst=source:hackme@192.168.0.3:8000/scarlatti}' --sout-keep --extraintf=luahttp --fullscreen --http-album-art 

 












 Check that icecast is displaying a mount point for the new radio














Check the HTTP access to VLC interface  (port8080)
















Connect Winamp Android Mobile to the Icecast server


Control VLC remotely with VLC Remote
















Drawback:  the name of current song is not displayed. It seems that something has to be developed at VLC level in order to push the song title to icecast.

Others players for Android: RealPlayer is OK, but very beta.
The shoutcast station address is not stored for next usage.

A Nokia phone E51 with Nokia Internet radio does the job. 

Other tests
Streaming directly from VLC in http mode:

vlc -vvv scarlatti.m3u --sout '#standard{access=http,mux=mpeg1,dst=192.168.0.3:8080}'

Players on Ubuntu: Banshee ok, VLC ok,
Players on Android: Not very useful because few player on Android can manage to read the output: winmap: Nok, RealPlayer Nok.

Oracle Documents Cloud Service - Using Upload File REST API

If the Upload File sample given in ODCS documentation is used "as is", we get a http 400 error. The syntax is strict and every blank line must be empty (no space character for instance). If we cust and paste the sample, there are residual space characters which must be removed. So, use this pattern instead: -----1234567890 Content-Disposition: form-data; name="jsonInputParameters" { "parentID": " " } -----1234567890 Content-Disposition: form-data; name="primaryFile"; filename="example.txt" Content-Type: text/plain Hello World! -----1234567890-- instead the original one: -----1234567890 Content-Disposition: form-data; name="jsonInputParameters" { "parentID":"FB4CD874EF94CD2CC1B60B72T0000000000100000001" } -----1234567890 Content-Disposition: form-data; name="primaryFile"; filename="example.txt" Content-Type: text/plain -----1234567890-- Tests can be...

Oracle Sites Cloud Service - Apps

It's possible to add kinds of widgets (named APPS) inside any page of a site built with Oracle Sites Cloud Service (SCS). Any app is materialized by two URL: a Renderer Url which will render any HTML fragment inside an iframe tag at runtime a settings url which will be rendrered at design time in the settings menu. all URLs must be called through https (meaning that the called server has to be ssl enabled) In the following samples, we integrate: a dummy app (a simple html page produced with node.js) which demonstrates the parameteres caried by the Sites Cloud engine when calling the backend server,  a regular Apex report or form,  a custom report which calls a rest api generated by Apex /ORDS Sample node.js server.js below is a sample of parameter values get from a dummy node.js server Main call id=26e45e21-dbb6-4877-9886-482b37213d2f instance=eyJpbnN0YW5jZWlkIjoiQTI0NUNFNUNFNjA5MjE1REZBRTA2RTQyRjExOThBNThFNzc4RDc5NzFDMkIiLCJzaWduZGF0ZSI6IjE0NTAxMDg1M...
