PicoStreamer
PicoStreamer is a complete server for live audio/video streaming. It can stream MP3, AAC, and video live using Flash FLV. It does not require any Flash server. It only needs a Web server with Perl and PHP. It requires neither expensive dedicated servers nor compilation on the target machine. A source client (for Win32) is included. A management/playing framework written in PHP makes PicoStreamer simple to use. The PicoIcy component acts as a local shoutcast server emulator, so you can use your preferred shoutcast source client to stream or stream Flash format directly from the Web.

Recent commentsIt should be noted that this is PHP and Perl, not Perl-only
The 'programming language' for this application only lists Perl. It should also list PHP.
I filter out PHP. Accurately listing the languages used by the product allows people with preferences like mine to more accurately find suitable software. This functions much the way you would want Windows-only software to be properly listed as such.
Cheers,
Steven
Re: Why 60% of installation of PicoStreamer fails?
Was a bug in prior releases.
Now 2.1 works fine, specially in Cpanel based web hostings.
Enjoy

Check permission of dir /picostreamer/users : it must be writable by php and cgi processes.
Btw, in support forum you can obtain more help.

Why 60% of installation of PicoStreamer fails?
PicoStreamer is a set of PHP and CGI Perl scripts.
Installing PHP scripts is simple, just uplad them.
But few people know that CGI script must be uploaded in ASCII mode, otherwise a "500 Internal Server Error" will result.
Also, the file permission of cgi scripts must be set to 755, otherwise aother 500 http error will result.
I seached for a ftp-installer software for searching cgi-bin in a ftp server, upload in ascii and set permission to 755 automatically but I not found nothing...
May be I will write this app myself?
No other had this problem?
