Icecast Streaming Media Server

[liteFun]

Is it possible to set one /Master mountpoint that relays from "chained" mountpoints and has fallback to /playlist if none exists?

/Master that relays /Mount1 and fallback to /playlist if no streams
/playlist mountpoint for Ices for example

/Mount1 fallback to /Mount2
/Mount2 fallback to /Mount3
/Mount3 fallback to /Mount4
/Mount4 fallback to /Mount1

If nobody streams to any of /MountpointX, /playlist would be streamed in /Master.
Someone streams to /Mount1, it would be relayed to /Master.
Someone starts streaming to /Mount2, and /Mount1 stops. /Master starts relaying /Mount2 because it is fallback and online, and so on for other mountpoints.

Would this work?
Or does it work for only relaying /Mount1?

having /Master as a local relay of /playlist is fine, it will also obey the fallback/override rules for /MountX. Note that /Mount1 would have to stop before /Mount2 starts, failing to do so it not a major problem, but you would have to move the listener from /Mount1 to /Mount2.

Actually I would set /MountX's go in order 1-2-3-4-1-2-3-4 and so on, to play next mountpoint after previous has stopped.

I have been thinking of server where couple dj's would play like 2 hours at time, and listener just tunes into /Master, and if no streams available in /MountX then get some playlist from /playlist.

This probably would work better with just 2 mountpoints, but i'd like to set own mountpoint for every dj that goes in specified order.

Other solution would be timed system which would listen mountpoints for some time and switch to another and stream that to one mountpoint.
Or another dj that grabs and mixes each streams together when previous ends and next starts, and streaming that to one mountpoint.

I prefer own mountpoint for every dj and mountpoint rotation done by server.

But question is, if i set server to relay /Mount1, will it fallback /Mount2 and then /Mount3 and so on, after streaming ends for each previous mountpoint?
For example, /Mount2 has just ended streaming, /Mount3 is active.
Listener comes to /Master which actually relays /Mount1 with fallback to /Mount2. No stream in those mountpoints. Will Icecast continue checking if /Mount2 has fallback?


If i listen straight /Mount2 that has fallback to /Mount3 it works fine, but does Icecast understand this chaining, to go each mountpoint if there is stream on, while listener is listening for /Master?
