Setup instructions to start broadcasting
Step 1: Install Dependencies
Open Terminal and run: 
brew install ffmpeg blackhole-2ch
Step 2: Configure Audio Routing

Set up BlackHole to capture system audio:

  1. Open "Audio MIDI Setup" on your Mac
  2. Click the "+" button in the bottom-left corner
  3. Select "Create Multi-Output Device"
  4. Check both "BlackHole 2ch" and your speakers/headphones
  5. Right-click the device and select "Use This Device For Sound Output"
💡 This lets you hear audio while streaming it
Step 3: Create Streaming Script
Create the script file: 
nano ./start-stream.sh
Copy this script into the file: 
#!/bin/bash

# ============================================================================
# STBY Radio Streaming Configuration
# ============================================================================
# Edit these two values, then run: ~/start-stream.sh

# Get this from Andrew Murray
PASSWORD="PASSWORD_HERE" 

# What should appear on the departure board while you're streaming?
STREAM_TITLE="DJ Andrew Live From 30k Feet"

# ============================================================================

echo "🔍 Checking STBY Radio availability..."
echo ""

# Check if someone is already broadcasting from a DJ

if echo "$STATUS" | grep -q '"server_name":"STBYradio"'; then

    LISTENERS=$(echo "$STATUS" | grep -o '"listeners":[0-9]*' | grep -o '[0-9]*')
    
    # Check if it's a live DJ or fallback stream
    if echo "$CURRENT_TITLE" | grep -qE "(DJ|Live|Stream)" && [ "$CURRENT_TITLE" != "Ready for Broadcast" ]; then

        echo "   Listeners: $LISTENERS passengers"
        echo ""
        echo "💡 Someone else is live right now."
        echo "   Wait for them to finish, or coordinate to take over."
