Streaming radio straight from OBS
New project brewing under the Tech-Noid Systems umbrella: obs-radio-output.
It’s a native OBS Studio plugin that streams audio straight from OBS to Icecast / SHOUTcast servers — so you can drop BUTT (or whatever sidecar you’ve been running) entirely. One less thing to babysit on stream night.
Where it’s at:
- Native OBS output — shows up alongside the built-in outputs, configured inside OBS
- Supports both Icecast 2.x and SHOUTcast v1 — pick your protocol, with Opus and MP3 encoding
- Auto-reconnect on dropped connections, with a color-coded status dock
- Builds for macOS (universal), Windows, and Linux
It’s still pre-release — you build it from source for now — but it’s already handling the job on my own rig. GPL-2.0, community plugin, not affiliated with the OBS Project.
