Icecast - May 2007 - Switch back to mount after fallback

Hello icecast user,

That's my first post to this list, because everything works fine :) But
now I'm missing a feature and I'm not sure if it is possible to realise.

I have two mounts. Only one defined in the configuration:

    <mount>
        <mount-name>/gast.ogg</mount-name>
        <fallback-mount>/offline.ogg</fallback-mount>
        <fallback-override>1</fallback-override>
    </mount>

If gast.ogg goes offline it fallback to offline.ogg. Works fine.

But now I'm interested in switching back to gast.ogg when it comes back
again. I've seen that I can move clients from one mount point to the
other by using the web-interface. But I want it done automatically.

Is that possible by any way?

Thank you in advance.

Kind regards,

Claus

Hi,

That's what fallback-override is meant to do. Are you saying that it's
not
working for you?

Geoff.

Not working. But what is wrong? I've added the second mount to
icecast.xml and tested whether it switch back to the original mount
point. The mount part of icecast.xml:

    <mount>
        <mount-name>/gast.ogg</mount-name>
        <fallback-mount>/offline.ogg</fallback-mount>
        <fallback-override>1</fallback-override>
    </mount>
    <mount>
        <mount-name>/offline.ogg</mount-name>
    </mount>

Where gast.ogg is the main stream. When gast.ogg comes back it should
switch back from offline.ogg to gast.ogg.
