Live piano streaming

[wedgim]

Hi,
i'm trying to livestream an audio signal from my e-piano to the internet for some time now. i wired the stereo output of the piano with the input of my computer soundcard, just recording stuff works fine. i have tried to install and configure stuff like icecast2, but it didnt work.

I still hope someone was successful doing the same, but i can't find much of use on google or anywhere else, which is quite frustating. also tried streaming with vlc player, doesnt work either.
Skype might work somehow, but i just want to stream public from my pc, without forcing anyone to register for some service, account, etc. Best thing would be a link with my ip and a port to paste into vlc player for instance.

Anyone with any experience, success, tutorials, links?

You are trying to something quite sophisticated. There so many factors involved I would suggest a forum about exactly that subject.

Well, i just got my livestream working with vlc player on windows7.

For anyone interested:
I used this documentation https://wiki.videolan.org/Documentation:Streaming_HowTo_New to learn a little about the mechanics behind. This streaming features listhttps://www.videolan.org/streaming-features.html is very helpful to see which file formats and codecs can be used.
If you could use some help i can try, i will hopefully follow this thread for a while.

@wedgim, thanks for the info. I didn't know those tools

For those ones interested in online broadcasting, there's another free tool I know that is ShoutCast. The client program needed to listen the broadcasts is as simple and common as Winamp. And here there are the tools to produce the broadcasts.
