Hi All, I've got a problem with fallbacks and I just cannot seem to find the answer anywhere, I've been looking for weeks. Here's the situation: Stream is working fine and listeners are happy. Then, the stream stops and the fallback takes over, great everyone is still happy. BUT....Even though the stream has come back online the fallback continues to play over and over and never resumes where it was until the user disconnects, user not happy. Anybody know how I can get the stream to take control/priority over the fallback? Thanks very much in advance, Andy
Hi, You need to include the following in the <mount> section for your main mountpoint: <fallback-override>1</fallback-override> Geoff. -- Geoff Shang <geoff@hitsandpieces.net> Phone: +61-418-96-5590 MSN: geoff@acbradio.org Make sure your E-mail can be read by everyone! http://www.betips.net/etc/evilmail.html Please avoid sending me Word or PowerPoint attachments.

Hi Geoff, I tried that, here's my mount: <mount> <mount-name>/studio</mount-name> <dump-file>/tmp/studio.mp3</dump-file> <burst-size>65536</burst-size> <max-listeners>300</max-listeners> <fallback-mount>/fallback.mp3</fallback-mount> <fallback-override>1</fallback-override> </mount> Could it be because it's an mp3 file that I'm falling back to?

But I'm guessing that it's *meant* to work even so. It certainly looks ok. Maybe one of the developers can comment on this. Geoff.
