Overview

To make it a bit easier for third party developers to keep their work updated with the most recent version of the open parts of the source code of ickStream we have decided to expose the source code through a git repository. The git repositories are hosted on github https://github.com/ickStream

All applications using the ickStream Music Platform requires a specific API-key, contact us for more information if you want to develop and ickStream based app and we will arrange so you get an API-key.

Repositories

ickStream P2P module

• Contains the P2P module which is the core of the communication and discovery on the local network
• License: BSD

Checkout code as follows:

git clone https://github.com/ickStream/ickstream-p2p.git cd ickstream-p2p

Pre-requisities:

• libz library either must be installed on the machine or stored in the “lib” directory
• libwebsockets library either must be installed on the machine or stored in the “lib” directory

To build it as a static module, just run:

make all

This will produce a static module:

lib/libickp2p.a

which you can link with your application.

If you don’t have libwebsockets header files installed on the machine, you can build it as follows and point to a specific location of libwebsockets header files

make all INCLUDES=-I../libwebsockets/lib

And to clean the build completely run:

make cleanall

ickStream iOS ickComm

• Contains access code for iOS which simplifies communication with our cloud service and other devices on the local network
• License: BSD

Checkout code as follows:

git clone https://github.com/ickStream/ickstream-ios-comm.git cd ickstream-ios-comm git submodule update --init --recursive

To build it you use the committed Xcode project and compile as normal through Xcode

ickStream Java wrapper for P2P module

• Contains some Java JNI wrappers around P2P module to make it easier to use from Java
• License: BSD

Checkout code as follows:

git clone https://github.com/ickStream/ickstream-java-p2p.git cd ickstream-java-p2p git submodule update --init --recursive

To build it you need to install maven and after that you can run:

mvn install

And to clean the build completely run:

mvn clean

ickStream Java Common module

• Contains various Java code which makes it easy to build ickStream applications in Java
• License: BSD

Checkout code as follows:

git clone https://github.com/ickStream/ickstream-java-common.git cd ickstream-java-common

There are a number of different modules

• jsonrpc: Java JSON-RPC helper classes that makes it easy to parse JSON-RPC or call JSON-RPC services
• ickprotocol: Java representation of all ickStream Music Platform protocols to make it easy to communicate with ickStream devices/services
• ickplayer: Generic Java implementation of the Player Protocol to make it easier to implement a Java based ickStream player device
• ickcontroller: Typical Java utility classes which is needed when you are developing an ickStream controller in Java

To build it you need to install maven and after that you can in each module directory run:

mvn install

And to clean the build completely run:

mvn clean

ickStream Java Samples module

• Contains a few different Java based sample applications
• License: BSD

Checkout code as follows:

git clone https://github.com/ickStream/ickstream-java-samples.git cd ickstream-java-samples

There are a number of different modules

• sample-java-controller: A simple Java based controller that discovers available devices/services on local network and in cloud server account
• sample-java-player: A simple Java based player that act as a player but doesn’t output any sound

To build it you need to install maven and after that you can in each module directory run:

mvn install -DBUILD_ENVIRONMENT=linux

The possible values for the BUILD_ENVIRONMENT variable are:

• osx - Intel 32 and 64 bit OSX
• linux - Intel 32 and 64 bit Linux

And to clean the build completely run:

mvn clean

ickStream LMS plugin

• Contains the LMS plugin which expose the local LMS music to your ickStream devices
• License: BSD

Checkout code as follows:

git clone https://github.com/ickStream/ickstream-service-lms.git cd ickstream-service-lms git submodule update --init --recursive

Pre-requisitites:

• You must have cmake installed

To build it you need to install maven and build the ickStream Java wrapper for P2P module as described above and then run:

mvn install -DBUILD_ENVIRONMENT=linux

The possible values for the BUILD_ENVIRONMENT variable are:

• osx - Intel 32 and 64 bit OSX
• linux - Intel 32 and 64 bit Linux
• linuxarm - ARM soft float Linux (For example SheevaPlug)
• linuxarmhf - ARM hard float Linux (For example Raspberry Pi or Wandboard)

And to clean the build completely run:

mvn clean

ickStream Squeezebox player

• Contains the very experimental Squeezebox player which contains an implementation of the Player Protocol which could be useful to look at if someone wants to build their own player. We would love to get a C-based Linux player which could be executed on Squeezebox hardware instead of the current one which is implemented as an applet and is kind of a hack since it relies on both LMS or mysqueezebox.com to be able to play anything.
• License: BSD

Checkout code as follows:

git clone https://github.com/ickStream/ickstream-squeezebox-player.git cd ickstream-squeezebox-player git submodule update --init --recursive

Pre-requisities:

• You must have cmake installed
• You must have Squeezebox cross compile environment installed. The Squeezebox.cmake file presumes it is installed with:
  • Root file system at: /usr/src/poky/build/tmp-jive/staging/armv5te-none-linux-gnueabi
  • Compiler at: /usr/src/poky/build/tmp-jive/cross/armv5te/bin/arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gcc

To build it you need to setup a Squeezebox cross compile environment and after that you can run something like:

make dist

And to clean the build completely, you run:

make cleanall

ickStream Linux daemon player

• Contains an experimental Linux daemon player which is based on ALSA with the intention that it can be used as a base for a player on embedded Linux devices.
• License: BSD

Checkout code as follows:

git clone https://github.com/ickStream/ickstream-daemon-player.git cd ickstream-daemon-player
