Hey everyone, Over a weekend, I setup an internet radio station, smolFM!: => gemini://jdj.golf/smolfm/ => http://jdj.golf:8000/radio.mp3 (yep, http) Put this url into your web browser, mpv, etc to listen. Meant for people in the "smolnet" to upload their music creations of all genres to. If a hobby of yours is making music, email your song(s) to jdj@jberti.xyz, and your song will be surfing the World Wide Radio™! As for rules of submission, there aren't many. Just make sure you made/own the music. Keep it under 25 minutes. I'd stream this over gemini://, but I don't believe there's any way. If I'm mistaken, tell me. Some "classic" christmas jams: gemini://auragem.space/youtube/video/Ca5wXojemRM
This looks cool! Now you just need to stream over gemini :) Some clients like Lagrange will support indefinite streams, you just have to send the bytes of the streamable mp3 over.

I think it's great, and no need to stream the audio over Gemini, although I guess there might in theory be some way to get that to happen. Since I'll be using mpv to play the stream, it just needs to be a resource that mpv can understand. The way streaming works on my gemcast is that they are ogg vorbis files that the browser must either pipe to mpv through standard input, or the browser must play the partially-downloaded file itself while it's downloading. Not all browsers support one of these methods, so the last resort is to download the whole file and then play it. I guess if the Gemini server could send audio data indefinitely, one of these streaming methods would work. I'll CC mbays because he's our streaming expert. Ben -- gemini://kwiecien.us/

As a side note: my Common Lisp Gemini client includes a wrapper script
that will take the Gemini URL of an audio or video stream and feed it to
mpv or vlc. It requires Roswell (but installing Roswell handles
installing a CL implementation and dependencies).
It's at https://git.carcosa.net/jmcbray/gemini-client/, but not entirely
bug-free (killing the script may not kill the player, which may continue
to play for a while).

Hi, the mp3 link seems to return a 404 response.

My bad. Somehow running i2pd on my vps conflicts with the radio station, must have something to do with them running the same ports. Thx for telling me!
