An Amarok script which provides basic support for streaming your ALSA card output to Icecast (version 2 or later). It also features metadata update of the current playing track in Amarok.
Suggestions are welcome!

ice works fine for me. Nice article. Got you bookmarked!
thanks!
Hey, got this downloaded and installed to Amarok and I THINKI I have icecast setup properly, but I am getting the following:
The script 'Ices' exited with error code: 1
sh: kdialog: not found
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/colin/.kde/share/apps/amarok/scripts/ices/ices.py", line 37, in
from qt import *
ImportError: No module named qt
Any ideas?
Python Qt3 bindings are required, please install.
Ah yes, that has helped, the script now runs. Next issue if I change the the config to anything other than localhost, say my static IP from my router, the script errors out on me. It seems to run fine as localhost, but that won't do me much good outside of home :(
I assume this could also be a setup issue with Icecast, which is not very well explained for noobs. Do I need need to go into Icecast and match the various settings like host and port? How about the YP settings?
Can't wait to get this up and running!
PS Your documentation link isn't showing anything.
Colin, I doubt I can help you out there. Most likely some firewall is blocking your connection or something.
Of course Icecast settings must match the ices config settings (user/password, host/port), YP settings are not that important, though.
Anyway, I didn't update that script for a long time. It's outdated, you may have to fix it yourself.
PS: Documentation link updated (it's basically the README in the source).
interesting article, i have bookmarked your blog
First of all thanks :)
I figured that the ices-live.xml file is an ices config file, rigth?
Well if I run it directly using ~$ices ices-live.xml it works fine,
but if I run the script using the amarok script manager I get this
"Error config file (ices-live.xml) damaged.
any idea?
Thanks again.
Love the script, but as a noob I could use some more info on the configuration.
You need to have a working Icecast2 setup. I think the configuration dialog is quite intuitive. You must set the correct server credentials (host, port, password), that's everything.

You're right. I'm having trouble with Ice set up. I can't seem to find a guide that works for me.

My ice set up is just depressing me.
