Hi there,
I just set up a system of fallback streams for our free radio station
here but I have this weird problem: it always show zero listeners.
Our setup is this:
We have a listening mount point for people - that fall back to a live
streaming from a cellular phone - that fall back to a live streaming
from a base station (a pc), that fall back to a 24/7 archive
streaming.
No matter what the sound source is (cellular phone, PC or historical
archive 24/7, our listening mount point always show zero listeners.
But we have listeners there, and they are listening our stream, and
everything works fine.
Any hint about this?
Server is icecast 2. we stream using mixxx from an Imac, darkice from
PC and liquidsoap for our mp3 archive, streaming 24/7.
Our fallback section setup is as follow:
<!-- historical 24/7 mp3 streaming -->
<mount>
<mount-name>/radiocybernet-archive.mp3</mount-name>
<hidden>0</hidden>
</mount>
<!-- live mountpoint streaming from a PC base station -->
<mount>
<mount-name>/rcyblive.mp3</mount-name>
<intro>./announce-radiocybernet.mp3</intro>
<fallback-mount>/radiocybernet-archive.mp3</fallback-mount>
<fallback-override>1</fallback-override>
<hidden>1</hidden>
</mount>
<!-- Live mountpoint for a cellular phone streaming -->
<mount>
<mount-name>/rcybcell.mp3</mount-name>
<intro>./announce-radiocybernet.mp3</intro>
<fallback-mount>/rcyblive.mp3</fallback-mount>
<fallback-override>1</fallback-override>
<hidden>1</hidden>
</mount>
<!-- this is where listeners connect to listen our station -->
<mount>
<mount-name>/radiocybernet.mp3</mount-name>
<intro>./announce-radiocybernet.mp3</intro>
<fallback-mount>/rcybcell.mp3</fallback-mount>
<fallback-override>1</fallback-override>
<hidden>0</hidden>
</mount>
<!-- this is an old mountpoint we used for our transmission, for
historical purpose, many links on internet point here -->
<mount>
<mount-name>/rcyb.mp3</mount-name>
<intro>./announce-radiocybernet.mp3</intro>
<fallback-mount>/radiocybernet.mp3</fallback-mount>
<fallback-override>1</fallback-override>
<hidden>1</hidden>
</mount>
Thank you for any help!

Have you considered round robin DNS.. essentially you assign the same A record to two IPs. I do this and it distributes listeners for me without Icecast.

Maybe you will get a different result ...The best of luck in getting current clients working properly with Ogg/Opus. Many clients are buggy in that regard, including such things as closing the stream on metadata change. Many clients even now can't cope with metadata in Ogg/Vorbis streams! -- Paul Martin <pm at nowster.me.uk>

I must try that. Will let you know asap! btw I'm not "trying to stick with the one that has the most universal "default browser support" but instead trying to avoid a LOT of listeners writing me "my player/browser/whatever doesn't connect, it doesn't understand ogg / opus / xspf " etc. etc. - so mp3 it is. It's simple surviving :) On 3/18/20, Jeroen van Oosten <jvoosten at bankai.nl> wrote:> Hello, > > > On 16/03/2020 11:04, Gabriele Zaverio wrote: >> Hi there, >> >> <!-- historical 24/7 mp3 streaming --> >> <mount> >> <mount-name>/radiocybernet-archive.mp3</mount-name> >> <hidden>0</hidden> >> </mount> >> >> <!-- live mountpoint streaming from a PC base station --> >> <mount> >> <mount-name>/rcyblive.mp3</mount-name> >> <intro>./announce-radiocybernet.mp3</intro> >> <fallback-mount>/radiocybernet-archive.mp3</fallback-mount> >> <fallback-override>1</fallback-override> >> <hidden>1</hidden> >> </mount> >> >> <!-- Live mountpoint for a cellular phone streaming --> >> <mount> >> <mount-name>/rcybcell.mp3</mount-name> >> <intro>./announce-radiocybernet.mp3</intro> >> <fallback-mount>/rcyblive.mp3</fallback-mount> >> <fallback-override>1</fallback-override> >> <hidden>1</hidden> >> </mount> >> >> <!-- this is where listeners connect to listen our station --> >> <mount> >> <mount-name>/radiocybernet.mp3</mount-name> >> <intro>./announce-radiocybernet.mp3</intro> >> <fallback-mount>/rcybcell.mp3</fallback-mount> >> <fallback-override>1</fallback-override> >> <hidden>0</hidden> >> </mount> >> >> <!-- this is an old mountpoint we used for our transmission, for >> historical purpose, many links on internet point here --> >> <mount> >> <mount-name>/rcyb.mp3</mount-name> >> <intro>./announce-radiocybernet.mp3</intro> >> <fallback-mount>/radiocybernet.mp3</fallback-mount> >> <fallback-override>1</fallback-override> >> <hidden>1</hidden> >> </mount> >> > Just a thought: what happens if you remove the <intro>, and make the > historical mount points not hidden? > > > - Jeroen > > > > -- > Bankai Software bv > Jeroen van Oosten > Telefoon: 088-2344999 > E-mail: jvoosten at bankai.nl > KvK inschrijving: 67066267 > PGP key: B2308F8E > > "If you think it's expensive to hire a professional to do the job, wait > until you hire an amateur." --Red Adair > > _______________________________________________ > Icecast mailing list > Icecast at xiph.org > http://lists.xiph.org/mailman/listinfo/icecast >-- 73 de IW9HGS - Gabriele "Asbesto Molesto" Zaverio Museo dell'Informatica funzionante - Freaknet Computer Museum http://museum.freaknet.org || http://freaknet.org/asbesto GPG Fingerprint: 8935 5586 7F2D 9C5E 51B6 BBC5 EA15 9A4E 613D 44D7
