Is there any 64bit component like foo_streamer ( icecast2 source client ) ?

Hi everybody,

for a while, I used the 32bit version of foobar2000 together with the component foo_streamer to operate a private webradio station from time to time. foo_streamer is an icecast2 source client, which encodes the output from foobar2000 to different formats ( mp3, aac, flac, vorbis ) and then feeds the stream(s) into icecast2.

Nevertheless, foo_streamer has not been maintained and seems to be abandoned since 2015. Therefore my question is:
Is there any component for this purpose which is actively developed and therefore available as a 64bit component ?

Thanks for any hints,
Nanobot

Hi,

I'm new in foobar2000, but I need the same. Have you finally find a way, with x64 release to use icecast broadcast ?

Unfortunately not. However, I only sporadically run a web radio anyway, so the fact that there is currently no suitable plugin doesn't bother me that much.

Ideally, from my point of view a different approach to the original foo_streamer plugin would be desirable:
I would find it optimal if such a plugin would only add metadata to the audio data, but not re-encode the actual signal at all. Unfortunately, my programming skills are not sufficient to write such a plugin myself.
