About

Icecast is a free, open source streaming media server that supports audio and video formats, including Ogg (Vorbis, Theora), Opus, WebM, and MP3. It enables the creation of Internet radio stations, private jukeboxes, or other streaming setups, and is versatile, new formats can be added relatively easily thanks to its support for open-standard communication and interaction. Components include the server program itself, libshout (a library for communicating with Icecast servers), and IceS (a source client that sends audio data, either from disk or live captures, to the server). Icecast operates in a client-server model, where source clients originate streams, and the Icecast server relays them to listeners, with support for multiple mountpoints so different streams can coexist on one server. It provides a built-in administration interface and stats pages (HTML, XML, and JSON), exposing runtime information such as active connections, cumulative counters, listener numbers, etc.

About

Streamloop runs always-on live channels built from content you've already recorded. Instead of going live in real time with a camera or OBS, you upload videos and audio, arrange them into a playlist, and Streamloop broadcasts that playlist from the cloud as one continuous live stream. Typical channels people run with it: 24/7 lofi and music radio stations (separate audio tracks layer over a video visual), ambient and relaxation streams, TV-style rerun or marathon channels from an existing back catalog, churches rebroadcasting recorded services during the week, and podcasters turning episode archives into an always-on live channel. Because the stream is genuinely live on the platform, it gets live-tab placement and discovery, accumulates public watch hours, and keeps chat, Super Chat and memberships active at any hour.
