Using CVLC for re-transmiting online streamings.

cvlc-streaming.sh

#!/bin/bash
# author: Diego 'dragonauta' Rucci
# version 0.2
# CVLC is part of VLC package. It's a CLI tool.
# Some (flash-based) streamings can't be mounted on icecast2.
# solution is to play them with VLC (or cvlc) and redirect output to an icecast2 mountpoint
# ChangeLog
# Added variables to easily reuse script
