Live Audio Streaming

See also Bug 1522. We currently have the ManyPlayers Race Viewer that supports this use case. It is based on Flash and requires several additional server-side components. Adding live audio support to the HTML-based SAP Sailing Analytics could simplify the consumption of live audio streams for certain use cases and could ease server administration considerably.

Update Oct 13 2014

With commit 11d7a168 we support Youtube live streaming. This can be used as replacement for audio-only streaming.

Benefits

• Recording and streaming is all provided by Youtube.
• Can be complemented with video and other Youtube gimmicks (live pictures, stills, user notifications, user links)

Shortcomings

• 4h max. duration per session. Otherwise Youtube's rolling storage starts overwriting old content.
• Audio-only not yet possible. But hiding the video panel should be not too much effort.
