[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?
