DeeFuzzer is a light and instant application for streaming audio and video over internet. It is dedicated to communities who need to easily create web radios, web TVs, live multimedia relays or personal home radios, with metadata management and other cool features.
- Streaming MP3, OGG Vorbis files over Internet
- Live streaming for any kind of format (WebM compatible)
- Full metadata encapsulation and management
- Recursive folders, random or M3U playlists management
- M3U, RSS and JSON podcast generators for URLs, current tracks and playlists
- Automagic mountpoint creation based on media subfolders
- Multiple station streaming with only one config file

DeeFuzzer has now only been well tested on Linux, but should work on any other platform. You would then need to install libshout3 and liblo libraries for it. On Windows, an install inside Gygwin should work well.
To install it, say on Debian, do:
sudo apt-get install python3-pip python3-dev cython3 python3-liblo \
python3-mutagen python3-pycurl python3-yaml \
python3-mysqldb libshout3-dev librtmp-dev liblo-dev \
libcurl4-openssl-dev libmariadb-dev-compat
Then:
sudo pip3 install deefuzzer
Or to upgrade:
sudo pip3 install -U deefuzzer
If you have some version problems with the installation, please also try in a virtualenv.
As a streaming client, the DeeFuzzer needs a local or remote streaming server like Icecast2 to do something:
sudo apt-get install icecast2
deefuzzer CONFIGFILE
where CONFIGFILE is the path for a XML or YAML config file. For example:
deefuzzer example/deefuzzer.xml
or:
deefuzzer example/deefuzzer.yaml
To make the deefuzzer act as a deamon, just play it in the background:
deefuzzer example/deefuzzer.yaml &
Note that you must edit the config file with right parameters before playing.

This work is inspired by the great - C coded - Oddsock's streaming program: Ezstream. Since I needed to patch it in order to modify the playlist (randomize for example) and make external batch tools to create multiple channels, I decided to rewrite it from scratch in python.
Some parts of this work are also taken from another Parisson's project: Telemeta (see http://telemeta.org).
