Hey all,

I’d like to play music through a Pi3 at a remote location. At the remote location, the Pi3 will be on a separate network and connected by WIFI. The goal is to have it access and play and audio stream that I can DJ over the internet, preferably via a browser-based GUI. We’d like to have the GUI / remote stream allow us to pull music from Spotify and other stream services.

Is this possible with Musicbox or Modify?

Hi

There’s a section in the Mopidy documentation about configuring icecast for streaming music. However, the icecast support in the _old_ version of Gstreamer that Pimusicbox still uses isn’t brilliant. And it’s not supported by the Pimusicbox scripts at all.

If I was doing this, I’d start from scratch with the latest Raspbian and latest version of Mopidy i.e. I would not use Pimusicbox.
