Hello!
I'm setting up an icecast radio station. I'll usually be broadcasting
from
this machine, but want to be able to make a smooth transition to an
ezstream instance that I can run on the same server as the radio station.
Unfortunately, my experiments haven't found a way I can make a transition
without knocking off all my clients. :-(
Any idea about best practices on this?

What are you listening with? I've noticed that some clients drop connections, like Flash, when mounts fallback while other, like iTunes, TuneIn, QuickTime mobile, don't.

I have a Flash player on my page - so that explains it. Is there some sort of in-browser player I can use that doesn't have this property? That leads to another good question - how can I create a link on my page that opens itunes directly? I have a link to a .pls file - but that downloads a file that then has to be opened to open itunes...

Hi! I use DeeFuzzer to push audio or video data as a relay for existing streaming stations (one reading disk files, one streaming live sessions). It provides OSC command scripts to hot switch. Check it out ;) https://github.com/yomguy/DeeFuzzer Cheers, Yomguy On 31/01/2012 02:58, Tom Swirly wrote:> Hello! > > I'm setting up an icecast radio station.

Oh, this seems very cool - but, it doesn't handle the actual streaming, am I right, just mixes multiple relay streams together? Or, does it actually stream from playlists on the server? If so, I'd switch in a moment! (I think I'm seeing different documentations from different times here...) I'm using eztream as my streamer for when my base computer isn't operating... and I had to hack it to fix the fact it didn't properly handle TagLib, and didn't report the "album" name. There's also a UTF-8 encoding issue with ezstream which I have proven to my own satisfaction by streaming the same single track from itunes/Nicecast on my desktop, and then from ezstream... I get the correct UTF-8 titles when using Nicecast, but wrong ones when using ezstream. I'm supposedly an expert on character encodings :-D but I haven't figured out exactly where the issue is in ezstream. I also have my own Python code to do things like "auto-Twitter" https://twitter.com/#!/swirlyRadioList You can see my code to do it here: https://github.com/rec/radio I haven't prettied it up for release but I tend to write fairly readable code.
