Live stream mp3 from perl script without SHOUTCast
Hi everybody,
Currently we have an application where a Perl script sends MP3 files to SHOUTCast. JW Player is connecting to this and playing the stream. Problem was the missing of meta informations.
I tried Wowza and re-streamed our SHOUTCast server and JW Player was able to see metadata!
Now I would like to bybass SHOUTCast and connect our Perl script to Wowza. This is the point I need some advice.
I found 2 threads with almost the same issue:

Is it correct that my idea of eliminating SHOUTCast is not as easy as I think? Do I need a Flash application which can read static MP3 files and send data to Wowza?
Data flow path in my solution would be:
static mp3 on disk -> read by a perl script -> send to Wowza -> streamed to client using JW Player
Thanks for any advice!
