Stream-2-Stream For Linux

Stream-2-Stream project (abbreviated "s2s" or "S2S") allows anyone with a normal broadband connection to set up their own radio station or internet television, for free.

Stream-2-Stream stations have no user limit; stations can be set up without paying a fortune for bandwidth. Stream-2-Stream saves bandwidth by passing streams from one peer to another, rather than everyone getting a stream from one central server (Shoutcast/Icecast).

Supported codecs are MP3, NSV, and Ogg Vorbis.

Here are some key features of "Stream 2 Stream":

· Integrated MP3, Ogg media player. No external media player needed to listen!!! · Easy to use GUI · Bandwidth is tested automatically for the best p2p streaming performance · Settings are saved to xml · Easy to use server command-line · A shoutcast/icecast internet radio/TV Station is used as the source · Freeloaders/Leechers (peers that only listen but don't want to send out the stream to other listeners) will be detected · The data stream can be signed; you can be sure that it arrives unchanged · Very efficient communication (low overhead). · The network structure can be viewed with a monitor · Peers can be denied service · Streams can be recorded to files for later viewing
