Icecast proxy server that proxies every connection to an existing upstream Icecast (or Shoutcast) server and provides statistics about every connection and meta-data over a simple HTTP-API. This proxy responds with a raw MP3 stream without meta data (best for browsers).
This proxy can be used to enable live tracking of listeners and meta-data on mounts that delivers per-user streams over Icecast.
This script uses ES2015/ES6 syntax and uses Babel for ES6 module style loading.
You need a installed and recent version of NodeJS and npm. To install all dependencies run:
npm install
There is one simple config file in config/config.json that should be pretty self explaining.
It's important that you at least provide a valid Icecast server url.
To start this proxy server run:
npm run start
If you can listen to an existing stream http://original-icecast/existing-mount you can now connect to
http://localhost:9000/existing-mount with VLC or simply any modern web browser.
The proxy provides a very simple API at /stats/clients that shows all connected clients with their corresponding meta-data.
