 |
|
We have a server that we use the broadcast radio a few hours a week. We would like to go 24/7 is there some kind of auto DJ code that we can install onto the server and leave it to broadcast 24/7?
I have searched Google and can't find anything!? Maybe I'm not searching right. hmm. :oops: |

This is usually achieved by running any source client that provides content on a fallback mountpoint.

Hi,
You can used whatever source client able to manage a playlist, such as ices, Muse, Darkice, mpd, depending on your server orperating system.
You can mount this robot player on a fallback for your live mount. Source clients section of this forum would be the best place for discussing this issue.

As has been said, there's a number of suitable source clients that can do the job. Personally I recommend Ices (Ices0 for MP3, Ices2 for Ogg) as it allows you to encode all your music beforehand to stop the server having to do it on the fly.
Using Ices as an example, you'd put all your pre-encoded tracks into a directory, then run something along the lines of
| Code: |
| # find /path/to/dir -name '*.ogg' > playlist.txt |
to create your playlist. Then you'd set Ices to use that playlist and have it mount at, for example, /24-7.ogg.
Say you have your live show on /radio.ogg. You'd create a mountpoint (if there isn't one already) in your Icecast config, and set the fallback-mount setting to /24-7.ogg. The fallback-override setting should be set to 1, which will send your listeners back to the live show as soon as it starts.
Then you'd point your listeners at /radio.ogg and basically ignore /24-7.ogg. |
