I use the standard ...

I have an icecast2 server with darkice streaming a radio scanner. The first one I set up used an mp3 stream but I upgraded to a Raspberry Pi 2 and when I rebuilt it I used ogg for the stream. On both systems I update the title through icecast http requests. When I listen to the stream on my laptop (...
