Icecast Streaming Media Server

[Anonymous]

Hello all,

We are still having a problem with keeping our listeners connected to our stream during DJ changeovers. All of the solutions I've seen so far say to set up a fallback mount. We are running EZStream on a mount called /fallback which is always running, but clients still drop the stream between DJs. We have attempted to ensure that all DJs are running at the same bitrate, and we're having EZStream reencode to our standard bitrate, but we still drop listeners.

We're running Icecast 2.3.0 with ezstream 0.2.1 on a CentOS (Red Hat Enterprise clone) server at serverbeach.com.

Can anyone suggest some other things to check? Is anyone else having our issue? Do you need me to post anything additional to this thread to help troubleshoot?

2.3.1 is the latest. Can you determine what is actually happening, for instance do the listeners get the ezstream content before they drop. Do the logs show that the listeners are being moved to the fallback stream.
