=head1 DESCRIPTION

The module is a non-blocking client to Icecast streaming multimedia server for getting stream tags.

See L<http://www.icecast.org/>.

POE::Component::Client::Icecast is based on L<POE::Component::Client::TCP>.

=head1 METHODS

=head2 new


    POE::Component::Client::Icecast->new(
        Stream        => 'http://station20.ru:8000/station-128',
        
        # or
        
        Host          => 'station20.ru',
        Path          => '/station-128',
        
        RemoteAddress => '87.242.82.108',
        RemotePort    => 8000,
        BindPort      => 8103, # for only one permanent client
        
        # get tags from server
        
        GetTags => sub {
            warn Dumper $_[ARG0];
        },
    );

PoCo::Client::Icecast's new method takes a few named parameters:

=over 9

=item * I<Stream>

The stream url to Icecast stream, which contains domain, port and path to stream. Recommended.

Instead of this param you ought to use: I<Host>, I<Path>, I<RemoteAddr> and I<RemotePort>.

=item * I<Host>

The host of Icecast server (without port).

=item * I<Path>

The path to Icecast stream.

=item * I<RempoteAddress>

The remote address to connect to Icecast server (host or ip).
It's a param of L<POE::Component::Client::TCP>.

=item * I<RemotePort>

The remote port to connect.
It's a param of L<POE::Component::Client::TCP>.

=item * I<BindAddress>

The param specifies the local interface address to bind to before starting to connect.
It's a param of L<POE::Component::Client::TCP>.

=item * I<BindPort>

The param sets the local socket port that the client will be bound to before starting to connect.
It's a param of L<POE::Component::Client::TCP>.

=item * I<GetTags>

The event of getting tags from server, it is called for each fully parsed input record from Icecast server.

I<$_[ARG0]> contains a hashref of tags.

=item * I<Reconnect>

The flag of reconnect to Icecast server. If this flag exists, client will reconnect to server when an established socket has been disconnected.
Delay is value of this param (in seconds). Default value is 0 (no reconnect).
