Hi There, Is there a nice helpfile to telle me how to set up: * Multi-Level Fallbacks Multi-level fallbacks allow for specifications of a series of fallback mounts that you could use, for instance, to set up a series of progressively lower bitrate streams that would be cascaded through. For instance, a modem user would connect to the highest bitrate stream, and then could be cascaded down to a progressively lower stream until they reach a value they can handle. When i put up a faalback, do i have to remove other normal settings in my configuration of icecast 2.1.0? Regards, Dennis

Multi-level fallbacks are implemented, however the part about automatic cascading of clients between fallbacks based on their bitrate capability is not. Adding this capability is actually not too difficult given the way fallbacks are implemented, so we plan on adding this as a TODO for 2.2. Sorry for the confusion. I've updated www.icecast.org with a correct description of what we support regarding multi-level fallbacks. Here is what it reads now : * Multi-level Fallbacks Multi-level fallbacks allow for specifications of a series of fallback mounts that you can use to automatically move listeners in the event of a source being disconnected. In the event new listeners attach to the source stream that has been disconnected, they are routed to the fallback mount. Icecast now has fallback-override capability as well which means that in the event of a source stream failure, listeners are moved to the fallback mount, and then automatically recaptured when the original source stream returns. oddsock>* Multi-Level Fallbacks >Multi-level fallbacks allow for specifications of a series of fallback >mounts that you could use, for instance, to set up a series of >progressively lower bitrate streams that would be cascaded through.

Hi I was wondering what if any are the differences between the kh branch and 2.1? --mark
I've been playing with the fallbacks for a bit now. For some reason when the stream fails and it drops to the fallback winamp doesn't keep playing and just stops. I tested it in Windows Media Player and the fallback feed will just keep buffering over and over until I press stop and play again. I also does the same if you are on the fallback and the main stream comes back online, it does switch but winamp stops and WMP just sits and buffers over and over. Is anyone else seeing this?

Hi: Is this an Ogg or MP3 stream? If MP3, do the same streams have the same format?
