We just realized that the automatic inscription to this mailing list was not functioning so we are sending this message a second time for the 200 or so people who didn’t receive it. We will endeavor to respond to technical enquiries up to and during the sound camp. Dear streamers, This is a quick update from Locus Sonus. We would like to bring several bits of information to your attention: - The third edition of SoundCamp Reveil, the 24 hour dawn chorus event will be taking place over April 30 and May 1st and we call on all who can make it to set up a stream for the event or even better take this oppourtunity to set up a permanent stream. http://soundtent.org/soundcamp_reveil.html - A new and more stable version of our StreamBox distribution for Raspberry Pi is available. Aside from various bug fixes, this version can be accessed remotely over the internet and will work with the Wolfson and Cirrus sound cards (specially built for the Pi). For more information about new features and setting up a stream in general go here: http://locusonus.org/streambox/ - We will be providing a helpline on Thursday April 28th to get anyone who is experiencing difficulties setting up a stream either with Locuscast (iOS, Android) or with the locus stream box or with the stream map account. Many of you have created accounts which don’t seem to be very active so this might be the opportunity for you to get your stream up and running. Please send us an email with a skype contact or telephone number and we will contact you. The audio quality of the streams is getting better and better and it is now easy to maintain a permanent stream since our latest build has various built in functions to keep it connected. Several streams are now binaural which gives an amazing impression of “being there”. There are many new artistic projects using the streams too: French musician Eric M has taken to using the Locus Sonus streams for his live concerts and we where showing the sound map at the Palais de Tokyo in Paris last week in the exhibition “Visions” where it met with much success. We are also collaborating with SARC (Queen’s University Belfast) to create a new streaming app mainly aimed at live performance. If you have been using the Locus stream project for an art project we would love to hear about it (especially since we are currently writing up our research activities of the last 3 years). Best Regards Locus Sonus

[locustream] Is https streaming possible?
by Zach Poff 22 Feb '18

Stef: Good luck with the performance. Pond Station should be broadcasting at showtime but it will be playing its "interval signal" during soundcheck (since it will still be dark in New York). A question for anybody who knows: Is it possible to configure the server to serve an encrypted stream? I can't directly embed my locus stream on my website after I set up my webserver to force https connections. (This avoids "mixed content" warnings from browsers.) Has anybody else done this? Also, I have lots of experience with solar powered streaming, but in my case I'm cheating: I have a building about 100 meters away, so I use a hacked 5.8gHz AV transmitter and directional antennas to bridge the gap. There's a locus sonus Raspberry Pi streambox inside to handle the rest. I imagine that a mobile wifi bridge "mobile hotspot [1]" and Pi streambox would work for truly remote setups, but power consumption is high and the bandwidth costs for the mobile SIM would need to be managed by scheduling the stream for certain hours each day. It's a mountain that I haven't needed to climb but I'm very intrigued! Take care - Zach ------------------------- https://www.zachpoff.com RECENT WORK: Pond Station [2] is a modular platform for monitoring the hidden activity of a freshwater pond at Wave Farm in Acra, NY. It floats on the water's surface, broadcasting underwater sounds through a live radio link from dawn to evening every day (using solar-charged internal batteries). ------------------------- Links: ------ [1] https://www.amazon.com/dp/B072KKF37M/ref=sspa_dk_detail_0?pd_rd_i=B072KKF37… [2] https://www.zachpoff.com/artwork/pondstation/
