Dubstep.fm

[dopelabs]

Just wanted to drop by and say hello to dsf again... Been ages!

Figured id post a little update since there have been many changes and additional features added to Dubstep.fm recently.

So... Here goes...

AUDIO STREAMS

They come in 2 formats, AAC and MP3.
Each come in 4 bitrates, 256k, 128k, 64k, and 24k

VIDEO STREAMS

The main video feed/player can be found on the front page of the Dubstep.fm website. if a dj has webcams or support for video broadcasting, thats where you will be able to watch!

While archived content is on the air (or when djs dont have video support) you will find one of 4 real time audio visualizations playing on the video feed, switching every so often to another one randomly.

They come in 2 formats, HLS and FLV
All streams are HD 1280x720 H264 video and 256k AAC audio.
In addition to the web players you may use any external application that supports RTMP and/or HLS streaming such as VLC.

2 spectrograms
One full and one split which shows the left and right channels separately.

2 waveforms
One using lines and one using points

You can find links to all audio and video feeds using the "Tune In" menu on the top right corner of the website.

You can also find video feeds at http://www.dsfm.tv

TUNE ID SERVICE

Ever needed to know what that tune is called? Stop in the chat and trigger the bot to do a lookup!
The bot will take a sample of whatever is currently playing on the air, and submit to the same services that soundhound, shazam, etc use for their tune identification.
The bot will then either give you the tune id, the closest match, or send ya packin =]

REQUEST/VOTE

Submit a request of one of your own tunes or mixes to be played on the air...
Any source can be used.. soundcloud, mixcloud, youtube. vimeo, facebook, twitch, ustream.. (anywhere theres audio/video files available to the public)
The request will be queued up and played after teh current liveshow or archive.
Listeners can vote (like or dis) which will determine if the mix or tune will get permanantly added for playback.


Much more but i think you can get the idea... Besides my typing fingers need a rest.. Time to put my spliff fingers on.
