Geekast project is an alternative to the Web interface.

Currenly, it can perform audio (Ogg and MP3) or video (OGM) streaming through an external player like totem, or an internal player based on the Gstreamer multimedia framework.

In the future, it should be possible to encode a Webcam or any input stream over the peercast network.

Requirements:
Ruby (and maybe some external libs : yaml4r, rexml, ...)
Ruby-GNOME2
GNOME (Gconf, trayicon, ...)
Gstreamer

Installation:

Peercast :

just launch the peercast daemon.

Geekast :

1. You must copy peercast/html/geekast/ directory to the peercast html directory
(maybe /usr/share/peercast/html/ depend of your distrib)

2. Copy the data directory into /usr/local/share/geekast/

3. Install geekast schema :

gconftool-2 --install-schema-file=schemas/geekast.schemas

cd src

Launch geekast.rb

What's New in This Release:
Fixes some bugs and adds a tray icon.
