Question 2

DudelDu vs Icecast: which should I use for a small internet radio station?

Accepted Answer

DudelDu is simpler and easier to set up with JSON playlists and Go embedding, while Icecast offers more features and broader protocol support. Choose DudelDu for basic, lightweight streaming; Icecast for advanced customization and scalability.

Question 3

Can DudelDu stream live video or is it only for pre-recorded files?
