Hello,
I have recently added a icecast server and it works me pretty good!
But I have several DJs, and as a DJ behind me wants to run the listener re-connect,
I would be more fun if you just can listen
This is an idea?
Regards, Marvin;) |

I'm not sure what the question is, but if you want to switch DJs without dropping listeners then use the fallback-mount to move listeners to another mountpoint while the changeover occurs.

OK. I got it a bit, am a bit more with shoutcast bezgi, and now wants me to deepen in icecast.
So if I understand correctly I have the listener to another file or stream to connect?
how do I do that? I can not in the files of the admin server, it is giss.tv

As karl suggests, you can use the fallback tag in your mount tag..
example:
| Code: |
<mount-name>/somecoolstream</mount-name>
<password>ChangeMe</password>
<fallback-mount>/anothercoolstream</fallback-mount>
<fallback-override>1</fallback-override>
<fallback-when-full>0</fallback-when-full>
</mount>
|
just make sure that theres another stream to "fall back" to! If you are "falling back" to a file, make sure its in the base directory (as set in the "paths" tab in your config.xml file) and that its the EXACT same format/type/samplerate as the stream. If you are wanting to "fall back" to an external server (outside your own), first, use a "relay" mount config and then "fall back" to the relay.

| Where can I change? I can not in the admin settings of the server, the stream hoster has prohibited. |

oh, thats done in the icecast.xml file from within icecast's directory/folder.. you will need shell access for that, however, if the admin doesn't allow it, I'm afraid you can not set that externally..
