Read audio stream from an Icecast2 URL and re-stream it using Flask

Question

I just want to know how to read or get data from an MP3 stream (URL), and then restream it in Flask.

I already have a Icecast2/DarkIce service running an MP3.

The purpose of this is that I want to re-stream that mp3 using my own Flask code, so this stream together with all my services are running on the same Flask server.

Thanks so much in advance!

Answer 1

So I've found the a solution and it's so stupidly easy:

@app.route("/audio_stream")
def Audio_Stream():
    r = requests.get("http://localhost:8082/audio_stream.mp3", stream=True)
    return Response(r.iter_content(chunk_size=1024), mimetype='audio/mpeg')

Basically I just used the Icecast2 stream URL, read the data and returned it using Flask.

I hope this helps somebody.
