Hello, we want to migrate from Shoutcast to Icecast, however, there is a problem right know: If one source closes the connection and the new source connects even in the same second, the stream will drop till you reconnect the player. That was no problem with shoutcast over the years. Any hints? Thanks, Frank

You can either fall back to a live mountpoint or a static file. I use a fallback to a live mountpoint with ices2 playing a short playlist of jingles plus an announcement that service will resume shortly. More details in the friendly manual. Cheers Thomas
