[Icecast-dev] Server Side Spot Replacement?

Thank you Phillip, my first time here.

What I want to achieve is to replace ads in a live ad break on live streamed
radio with personal spots for each listener. I want to recognize the start of
the break, split listeners into separate streamed spots and then back again to
the live stream when the spots has been played.

The main goal is to offer programmatic data driven ads on streamed radio and
bring radio into the modern advertising world.

There are a number of companies that offers this in various cloud solutions in
connection with Icecast servers, but there are pros and cons with the offerings
and I want to understand how it's done and consider build it myself.


Best regards,
Rune

I think it would be helpful if you could give some more context. Maybe by
explaining your goal in a non-technical way (that often helps).

Have a nice day,
