Icecast - Oct 2015 - EZStream: Can it stream a URL?

Additional to my earlier post, I was also thinking of a single
broadcast relay, but it's not possible to start it and stop it on
demand. One way around this might be to load a special Icecast XML
with the relay in it at the program's broadcast time, then reload the
regular one when the relayed program ends. Klugey, but it could work I
suppose.

Hm.
I think you should go with fallbacks. At least you would not need to
change the config and stuff (and lose listener in case something doesn't
work (e.g. network hiccup between provider and relay)).

What is the trigger source for you to change to the other stream?

Good thought.

Just a timed program, starts streaming at a certain time, stops when
it's over.
