I see. I'm not sure how I keep missing things in the Icecast docs. I'll give that location a try.

[Icecast] Question about Icecast2 when not streaming
I magically manage to overlook more in those docs than I see. I blame it on the font. Or the colors. Can't be me. Nope. -- that Jack Elliott 541 848 7021 Producer Wednesday Point, Host, The Sunday Classics KPOV 88.9, High Desert Radio Audio geek On 06/03/2015 01:41 PM, Kyle Blizzard wrote:> I see.

Hmm. Even with the file in the right place, Icecast still doesn't use it when my stream is offline. I can access the file using it's URL, so I know Icecast has access to it. This is what I have in my configuration file. <mount> <mount-name>/stream.mp3</mount-name> <fallback-mount>/StreamWarning.mp3</fallback-mount> <fallback-override>1</fallback-override> <public>0</public> </mount> <mount> <mount-name>/StreamWarning.mp3</mount-name> </mount> I have StreamWarning.mp3 in webroot, and I can access it using the URL. Does anyone have any other ideas as to what might be causing the problem?
