DeeFuzzer

DeeFuzzer is a new light and instant application made for streaming audio and video over Internet. It is dedicated to people who wants to create playlisted web radios or web TVs with rich media contents including some metadata.

Installation:

The easiest way to install the DeeFuzzer is to do:

sudo easy_install deefuzzer

or:

sudo pip install deefuzzer

For a manual install, see INSTALL

Usage:

Usage : deefuzzer CONFIGFILE

where CONFIGFILE is the path for a XML config file. For example:

deefuzzer example/deefuzzer.xml

To make the deefuzzer act as a deamon, just play it in the background:

deefuzzer example/deefuzzer.xml &

Note that you must edit the config file with right parameters before playing. You can find an example for a draft XML file in the directory "example/" of this application (maybe in /usr/share/deefuzzer/example/ if installed with the help of install.py)

Since 0.3, deefuzzer doesn't print anything into the shell, then a right parameter is needed in the XML config file.

BE CAREFULL : at the moment, the multi-threaded implementation of deefuzzer instances avoids shutting down the streams with CTRL+C... You have to kill them manually, after a CTRL+Z, making this:

pkill -9 deefuzzer
