Dummy questions....
How do you get started? Is there a script that has to be created and put on my site?
Thanks,
Joe
Hey Joe!
You need the weather radio, connected to computer audio, Pi, or some device to install some encoder that provides an MP3 Stream, and we need access to that stream... I've Broadwave, there is BUTT, there's the old defunct Edcast... set up your own Icecast, and other thingies... Lots of folks are 'pointing' their encoder stream to the 'donated' Icecast server:
http://wxradio.dyndns.org:8000/ furnished by CHRIS at 'Crushed Box Software", with which we have a free non-financial, no advertising 'partnership'... all he gets out of it is the access to the stream for his inexpensive phone apps.
See how to:
http://noaaweatherradio.org/howto.htmlwhich is by no means extensive, but more details will be added as we can... the 4 of us are right busy...
FOX set the thing at 16kbs, shoot us the access, and you won't even notice its running on network. I'm running at 128kb test stream to WxRadio, then to the page, and it bother's noting noticeable... see the very last 'station' on the player....
Getting enough streams going now, that that player's 'search' feature sure is handy!
Also check these experimental 'things'... and give us some feedback...
Test Map on this test does not select stream:
http://noaaweatherradio.org/index_huh.htmlTest WWA page updates about 1 minute (seeks at 20 seconds) and plays streams...
http://noaaweatherradio.org/ProbWWA-1.phpAlso the Prob pages currently onboard..
Ain't this a hoot?
