View Full Version : SHOUTcast`s specification  10th December
2006, 15:53 I try to write application on the ARM microcontroler
which has to receive mp3 streams (from SHOUTcast server), decode
(I have already implemented mp3 decoder) and of course play
them:). To be able to do it I need to get official SHOUTcast`s
specification/description. I only know that SHOUTcast`s client-
server communication is done by the HTTP protocol. But
unfortunately I do not know what exactly data (apart from audio,
of course;)), headers etc. are sent. Could you explain me how
making connection and exchanging data between client and server
(in both ways) are done? How do SHOUTast`s frames and headers
look (and how big there are), as well as what data follows? I
have to include all of above information in my MSc thesis, so I
will be gratefull for your help. Does something like official
"SHOUTast stream protocol" exist? If yes, how can I get it?
