Hello,
I'm trying to get some automated stream switching between a handful of
sources on a private icecast server to one public icecast server relaying one of
the sources depending on the time of day, updated by a script.
The private server is for the handful of sources to test their stream, monitor
and such.
both the private and public icecast config files are fairly straight forward.
The private one has mounts that look like this:
<mount type="normal">
<mount-name>/robot</mount-name>
<username>robot</username>
<password></password>
<max-listeners>3</max-listeners>
<charset>utf-8</charset>
</mount>
<mount type="normal">
<mount-name>/dj1</mount-name>
<username>dj1</username>
<password></password>
<max-listeners>3</max-listeners>
<fallback-mount>/robot</fallback-mount>
<fallback-override>1</fallback-override>
</mount>
<mount type="normal">
<mount-name>/dj2</mount-name>
<username>dj2</username>
<password></password>
<max-listeners>3</max-listeners>
<fallback-mount>/robot</fallback-mount>
<fallback-override>1</fallback-override>
</mount>
<mount type="normal">
<mount-name>/dj3</mount-name>
<username>dj3</username>
<password></password>
<max-listeners>3</max-listeners>
<fallback-mount>/robot</fallback-mount>
<fallback-override>1</fallback-override>
</mount>
The public server looks like this:
<relay>
<server>192.94.73.31</server>
<port>8010</port>
<mount>/robot</mount>
<local-mount>/public</local-mount>
<username>relay</username>
<password></password>
<relay-shoutcast-metadata>1</relay-shoutcast-metadata>
<on-demand>0</on-demand>
</relay>
That section gets updated by a script where the <mount> is set to whatever
stream is up at that particular time. A kill -HUP is set to the public icecast
process and for the most part, this has been working great to switch relayed
sources.
However, what seems to happen from time to time is that one of the streams on
the private server will be switched to when the robot is streaming even if the
<mount> section in the public server is set to robot.
Is there another way (or a more correct way?) for me to do what I am trying to
do?
