 |
|
Hello,
I am having difficulty using a fallback mountpoint. The /autodj mountpoint (ices 0.4) is working great and streaming @ 128 Kbps in audio/mpeg which we listen to through /stream. However when I broadcast to the /live mountpoint in ogg vorbis while listening to the /stream mountpoint the live broadcast doesn't take over. We are using standard Centova Cast settings:

Do you think this is because of the different formats?
Thanks!

yes, icecast does have certain checks to prevent that as you cannot expect players to handle that change in format without a reconnection. Whenever there is moving of listeners, the target mount needs to be sufficiently similar or else you can have problems, a change in bitrate or samplerate or channels within the same format can also be a problem.
