Shoutcast streams on the iPhone

Filed Under Shoutcast, Stream, iPhone | Leave a Comment

So Hamed and I were talking about streaming RJ to an iPhone when we realized that there wasn’t much out there to do it outside of a php script or two that sort-of worked. Today I made progress on a POC (.net app) that streams (choppy) audio from a Shoutcast stream to an iPhone for about 30 seconds before crapping out. I’ll try to find some time to fix it up next week and throw it out there. It’ll be a single user single stream sort of thing, for now, since it’s much easier to deal with. I need to get over this whole 30 seconds then croak business, make it so it gracefully recovers from client disconnects, and optimize its performance a bit (choppy audio is useless). Hopefully I can finish it sometime next weekend as I’ll be busy this weekend.
