Hello,

Is it possible to put a microphone on a RPI running Mopidy and stream it to port 6680?

If it is how do I set it up please?

Thanks in advance

It’s possible (with extra soundcard hardware) but Mopidy won’t help you to do this in any way. I’d suggest asking in the raspberry pi official forums.

You may want to explore ffmpeg (for recording+encoding) + icecast2 (for audio streaming) instead of mopidy if you want to achieve live audio streaming.
