Icecast Streaming Media Server

[Dave18]

Hi,

I have this situation: I use icecast getting the audio from a shoutcast server.
So Icecast is a relay server and shoutcast is the source.
I've set on the mount point definition a fallback-mount file to play some music if the shoutcast server goes offline.
It works: when shoutcast goes offline I listen my mp3 file placed on the web root of icecast.
But when shoutcast comes online, I still continue to listen the fallback file (even the new listeners get the fallback file).
It seems that icecast do not see that shoutcast is back online .
Am I doing something wrong?

This is my config file:

<mount>
<mount-name>/demo</mount-name>
<password>demo</password>
<max-listeners>25</max-listeners>
<stream-description>demo</stream-description>
<fallback-mount>/demo.mp3</fallback-mount>
<fallback-override>1</fallback-override>
</mount>
<relay>
<server>127.0.0.1</server>
<port>7209</port>
<mount>/</mount>
<local-mount>/demo</local-mount>
<on-demand>0</on-demand>
<relay-shoutcast-metadata>1</relay-shoutcast-metadata>
</relay>

And it's not clear to me the meaning of the fallback override parameter, sorry but I've read the documentation but it's not clear to me (it's an language problem... sorry).

Somebody can help me?

thanks

Dave

how long did you wait to see if the override worked, the playing of a file is not throttled so the player will get loaded up with quite a bit of data for a fallback to file. You can always check on the admin pages to see which mountpoint the listeners are located on.
