On behalf of the Rivendell audio community, I’m pleased to announce the first production release of GlassCoder, a minimalist live audio encoder. In addition to streaming to IceCast and Shoutcast stream aggregators, GlassCoder is capable of generating live HLS streams and publishing them to any standard HTTP server. It is available under the GNU Public License version 2. From the NEWS file: *** snip snip *** Changes: Updated codec support. Glasscoder(1) has been updated to work properly with FDK-AACv2. UTF-8 Enhancements. Updates and bug-fixes to support multi-byte UTF-8 characters fully in ICY and HLS metadata. PyPAD Plug-in Fixes. Bug-fixes for 'pypad-glasscoder' plug-in for Rivendell [thanks to Gabriele Fergola &lt;workino(a)gmail.com&gt;]m>]. *** snip snip *** Further information, including full source code, is available at https://github.com/ElvishArtisan/GlassCoder <https://github.com/ElvishArtisan/GlassCoder>.
