Icecast Streaming Media Server

[renders]

Hi all.. I can't seem to figure this out.

I use simplecast as a source.

I want to create a fallback for the mount. I have added the following to the icecast.xml file

<mount>
<mount-name>/listen-32.mp3</mount-name>
<fallback-mount>no-streaming-32.mp3</fallback>
<fallback-overide>1</fallback-override>
<fallback-when-full>1</fallback-when-full>
<intro>intro-32.mp3</intro>
<public>1</public>
</mount>

The intro works fine and the stream works fine but when I shutdown simplecast, the player stops. No fallback occurs

I noticed that the mount disappears from the status screen when the source is stopped. Can the mount be made permanent?

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Rob

Whenever there is an issue of something not working, the first thing you should do is increase the log level (if not high enough already) and check the error log. The only thing we can tell from the xml is that the mountpoint for the fallback does not begin with a /. We don't know if the mountpoint is available or not.

The fallback mount is actually a no streaming available mp3 file located in the webroot.

Should the mount disappear from the status screen if it is manually entered into the icecast.xml file?

Thanks for your help.

depends if the file is actually available, it's not possible for us to say whether it is or not, just from the xml

Basically, I want to have a fallback mount to a local mp3 file always running.. Can someone suggest the syntax of how to do this?

Thanks

SOLUTION:
The fallback mount needs to be located before the other mounts within the icecast.xml file.

Thanks for the help..
