Raspberry Pi streaming to broadcastify #2 disk image

Raspberry Pi streaming to broadcastify scannerfeed disk image

For a limited time (basically until it is outdated) I am providing an image of the 4 GB SD card I am using in a Raspberry Pi to stream live scanner radio audio to Broadcastify.com

Please note that this image is being used on an original Model-B along with the other hardware listed on this site. It has not been tested by myself on any other models, but I do have a report that it worked fine on a Raspberry Pi 2. Also, it did work with either Ethernet or WiFi. It supports one audio channel (mono) and does not support alpha-tags.

I have not modified this image in any nefarious way. Still, This image is provided "as-is" without any guarantees or warranty. I am not responsible for any damage or losses of any kind caused by the use or misuse of the software and I am under no obligation to provide support, service, corrections, or upgrades to the software.

Download a zip of the SD card image HERE. If you have trouble downloading the file it is also available in 34 parts with ten additional ".par" recovery files. All can be downloaded from HERE.

If downloading the file parts (numbered 001-0034), then once you have all 34 numbered files and at least one ".par" file, use Quickpar to rebuild the files. If required, download additional ".par" files as needed until the numbered files can be repaired by Qucikpar. Then click rejoin to recreate the file, scannerfeed_jessie_dec2015.zip.

Once you have successfully downloaded scannerfeed_jessie_dec2015.zip,.either directly or using .par files, you should unzip it, finally leaving you with the file: scannerfeed_jessie_dec2015.img (3,965,190,144 bytes).

Next, using Win32Disk Imager, write the image to a 4 GB or larger SD card and then use it to boot the Raspberry Pi. Default user name and password: pi / raspberry.

If using WiFi, configure network settings for your network:

sudo nano /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf {enter}
Edit file as described here, save file (Ctl-X to exit and "Y") and reboot: sudo reboot {enter} then check network connection (ifconfig, ping google.com, etc.)




Configure darkice:

sudo nano /etc/darkice.cfg {enter}
go to section: "From your Feed Technical Details" at end of file and replace filler text with your feed details. Ctl-X to exit and "Y" to save file.
Disconnect any currently feed contacted to Broadcastify (at the same mount point), then:
sudo service darkice start {enter} and make sure it connects to Broadcastify. Monitor the feed from Broadcastify, it takes a minute or two. Other options include sudo service darkice stop/status/restart etc. It should auto-start when the RasPi starts up. You can test that with sudo reboot {enter}.

Adjust audio levels

sudo alsamixer {enter}, F6, then select USB sound card, F5, arrow to Auto Gain press "m" to turn off or on, arrow over to mic capture and adjust level to just under clipping / distortion level. Use {esc} to quit. Also adjust scanner audio output, I use scanner external speaker output set at about 8 on scale 1-10. It takes some trial and error to get good audio levels. Once you are happy with the audio use sudo alsactl store {enter} to save audio settings.
