 |
|
Right now I've got an Icecast2 server running with a 24/7 autodj stream going to it, on a fallback with a /live mount for when we want to do live broadcasts.
It works great 
But ... when going from the fallback to the live mount, there is a noticable stop, and occasionally going from the live mount to the fallback, listeners get disconnected (!) not so great!
Also I can't get stream transcoder to work, and even if I did it's somewhat clunky.
My point being I'm thinking of developing a fork of icecast.
Instead of being optimised so that a maximum number of people can tune in, I'll add some new features. For example, fallback mounts can be faded between. Transcoding streams automatically (depending on codec support of course). And, of course, keeping the support to relay to another server.
My setup would then have source clients connecting to my "customised", high load icecast server, then the output of that is relayed to a distribution server which can handle many many more listeners.
I've also got an idea which would allow 2 DJ's to perform a "handover", where both DJs are mixed into the same stream and they have a mechanism to speak to each other.
But this post really just to see if anyone has done this before, and whether there is a better solution than trying to make a branch myself. |
