Gnome-Peercast

[ZephyrXero]

Gnome Peercast is a GTK based frontend to the peercast (http://peercast.org) p2p broadcasting system. The vanilla install of peercast for Linux is fairly lacking compared to it's Windows brother. Gnome Peercast make peercast even more user friendly than the Windows version though.. :) Unfortunately, it's not available in the ubuntu repositories yet. I have noticed it is in the unstable debian repositories (http://packages.debian.org/unstable/gnome/gnome-peercast) though. Any chance someone would like to port it over for Ubuntu???

Here's the homepage (http://takuo.jp/gnome-peercast/) of the project. As of today (Aug. 10, 2005) it's on version 0.4.0

Thanks alot! :grin:

Gnome-Peercast is installed through Synaptic, and I would like it to work, as I need to monitor from time to time a peercast radio that I installed at a client a while ago.

For now, I need to go back to Win, as I didn't find anyway to get it running. There's no shorcut in Applications, I didn't find any command to type in the terminal, or any which works.

I also tried to install Peercast following the steps of peercast website. I managed to see Peercast in the system monitor , but didn't manage to get any stream whatsoever. Firefox doesn't know what to do with the peercast links, and when I paste a link in xmms, mplayer, totem, they just can't open it...](*,)

It seems peercast in linux has a long way to go, before it becomes user friendly!

Any help welcomed, thanks

Yeah, found the peercast in the repositories, but now what...? Found the icon, but that's about it.
How to configure the app and get it running?

Hello,

I have installed Geekast, peercast from my Synaptic Packet Manager (my Ubuntu is 7.10). I find the icon for Geekcast in the menu: Applications/Sound&Video/Geekcast. However, when I start Geekcast, there is no place for me to paste the URL from the Yellow page of peercast (http://yp.peercast.org/) so that I can start streaming a channel from the Yellow page. All that I observe from Geekast interface is properties of Geekcast.

Could you please tell me how to start a channel of peerCast from Ubuntu?

Thank you,
