Icecast Streaming Media Server

[Sankt]

I would like to use a VLC client to source multimedia to a Icecast server, but i have a question about mount point timing.

I have a script to generate a random playlist for the VLC client.

At the end of the current playlist, the script generates a new random playlist for the VLC client to source to Icecast.

There is a 2 to 3 second delay for the script to generate a random playlist.

Is there a setting in the Icecast server - that will allow a broadcaster to delay the automatic mountpoint roll over ? I would prefer to keep the same port settings for the VLC source client so I do not have to automate port changing for a mount point roll over.

assuming the source client does not drop the connection then icecast won't trigger a fallback until the source timeout has elapsed.

How long is the source timeout ?

the hardcoded value is 10 seconds, but you can use the <source-timeout> setting
