NSV for Linux

[Jay]

I just finished writing a tool that will source your SHOUTcast server with NSV content from a Linux box, hopefully it works on all linux distributions.

It was written and compiled on Redhat 7.3 with the latest patches.

Let me know if you get it working on other linux flavors. or if not. I will do my best to get it working on all POSIX environments.

Project Page: www.radiotoolbox.com/sc_nsv/

Features Include:

• Autoreconnect if the server disappears, the source application waits 30 seconds
  before attempting to reconnect.
• Screen and File logging, so you know what's going on with sc_nsv
• RealTime Display of Outgoing bitrate, NSV Video and Audio Formats as well as
  fps and title of current video
• PLO playlist format, designed by Jay Krivanek of Radio toolbox an object
  based playlisting system allowing you to structure content on a clock wheel.
• Basic playlist file system as an alternative if you want to do all the work
  yourself
• PLO playlist format includes features like #reload #shuffle which tell
  sc_nsv when the proper times to shuffle and reload are and based off of
  which list you would like the action to occur
• TRUE shuffle logic based off of Hardware CD Player style which plays items
  off of playlist in a random order as opposed to just randomly picking items
  from a list which is NOT technically shuffling hint hint
• PLO supports a virtually unlimited amount of playlist objects.
  For more information about PLO read the Playlist section of this document.
• Reading of the TITLE tag of NSV headers, this will be displayed to your
  users in through meta data titling, you can also use URL to specify a url
  to be sent to your users. MAKE SURE THAT TITLE IS CAPITALIZED Title or title
  will not be understood, if TITLE is not found the file's name is passed.
• Dynamic Subtitles with profiles and scripting. Read README for more information on the scripting.

Known issues:

• Supports framerates which are whole numbers only, this will probably be fixed
  soon, so you fractional framerate lot may not get much use out of this tool.
