Først – Takk for nytting info: TV2 ligger på 338/256/6952. I grunnen dårlig av Canal Digital å ikke legge denne oversikten ut offentlig. Bra lei av å måtte programmere inn dette manuelt på lykke og fromme.

Hmm, that’s a good idea. I could most likely get the currently playing song from there as well – then the program specific part of the script could be removed.

It will not happen soon though. With the ability to stream directly from WiMP to Squezeebox I seldom keep the PC on for playing music.

Considered using last.fm API to get cover as well? Like http://code.google.com/p/spotify-notify/

Comment on Dødens uteblivelse – José Saramago by Tormod Ravnanger Landet

Ja, jeg tror han er en vanskelig forfatter å oversette. Jeg holder på med Det året Ricardo Reis døde som er en mye tidligere bok. Den er ikke så lettlest, så det går tregt.

The “Style” part of this wikipedia article could explain why it might have been very difficult to translate this book: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_with_Interruptions_(novel).

Also, it appears that this book was written after the author was awarded the Nobel prize. I’m generally skeptical of books written after the author became famous. Have you tried one of his earlier books?

Sorry again for slipping back to Norwegian in my posts by the way. It’s just that I have to practice my Norwegian somewhere after all the English at work.

Oh, I enjoyed large parts of it as well. I guess I was mostly expecting a novel and it turned a bit dry and textbook-y at the end, so I was a bit disappointed because of that expectation being broken. Otherwise it was good, but I think I would have to read it again to better grasp what it was the author really was trying to say except for the main good vs. right (or whatever) theme …

I agree that the book is not for everyone. I actually quite enjoyed it and read it more than once. But then, I’m weird.

Apparently, using vorbisenc the way you do in your post, gives me an 80kbps vorbis stream in mono. Using the following command to start gst-launch should render a 320kbps stereo mp3 stream (I tried to get stereo with vorbisenc, but couldn’t find any properties that did so). Anyway, here is the gst-launch command i used:

gst-launch-0.10 pulsesrc device=spotify.monitor ! audioconvert ! lame bitrate=320 mode=stereo ! shout2send ip=localhost port=8000 password=PASSWORD mount=stream

To use lame to encode the stream, you need to have the lame gstreamer plugin. To install this on Ubuntu (karmic), run:

sudo aptitude install gstreamer10.0-plugins-ugly-multiverse

Apart from this minor issue, I was able to follow your guide with no issues on Ubuntu Karmic, thanks for publishing it!

(Note: I’m using the PPA wine patched for PulseAudio).
