Geekast is a software option that offers an alternative to the traditional Web interface.
To run Geekast, users need Ruby (and possibly some external libraries, such as yaml4r and rexml), Ruby-GNOME2, and GNOME (specifically, Gconf and trayicon). Installation is easy with Peercast - just launch the Peercast daemon. For Geekast itself, users must first copy the peercast/html/geekast/ directory to the Peercast html directory (most likely /usr/share/peercast/html/ depending on the user's distribution). Next, they should copy the data directory to /usr/local/share/geekast/ and install the geekast schema using the command "gconftool-2 --install-schema-file=schemas/geekast.schemas" in the terminal. Finally, users can launch Geekast by navigating to the 'src' directory and launching geekast.rb.
In this latest release, users can expect several bug fixes and the addition of a tray icon, making it easier to access and manage the software while it runs in the background. Whether you're streaming audio or video, Geekast offers a powerful and practical alternative to traditional web interfaces.
