Icecast Flutter Plugin 📻

A Flutter plugin for streaming audio to an Icecast server. This plugin allows users to capture audio from input devices, stream to Icecast, and manage the audio stream using method channels for communication with native platform code.

Features

• Stream audio to an Icecast server.
• Support for writing raw audio data to the stream.
• Start/stop streaming with customizable settings like bitrate, channels, sample rate, etc.

Installation

To use this plugin, add icecast_flutter as a dependency in your pubspec.yaml file:

Run the following command to get the plugin:

flutter pub get icecast_flutter

Usage

Import the plugin

import 'package:icecast_flutter/icecast_flutter.dart';

Initialize

Use the startStream method to start streaming to your Icecast server. You can configure the stream by providing details like bitrate, sample rate, number of channels, and Icecast server credentials.

  _icecastFlutterPlugin =  IcecastFlutter(
      password: password,
      userName: username,
      serverAddress: serverAddress,
      mount: mount,
      port: serverPort,
      bitrate: bitRate,
      sampleRate: sampleRate,
      numChannels: numChannels,
      onError: (error) {
        print("Streaming Error: $error");
      },
      onComplete: () {
        print("Streaming Completed 🟢");
      },
    );

Start Streaming

void startIcecastStream() async {

   await _icecastFlutterPlugin.startStream(
          outputStream.stream);
}

Stop Streaming

To stop the ongoing audio stream:

void stopIcecastStream() async {
  await _icecastFlutterPlugin.stopStream();
}

Writing Audio Data to Stream
