Icecast - Apr 2020 - Icecast Auto DJ

Hello,

I’ve a question. I have a station now with Shoutcast and shoutcast transcoder
for 2 bitrates. 192kbps mp3 and 64 kbps aac+.

I want to transfer these to Icecast. I’ve an working icecast server but i need
an auto dj that can encode 2 bitrates, 192kbps mp3 and 64kbps aac.

I had a working setup, but my nonstop machine is not on the icecast server but
externally. Now in shoutcast transcoder i can give the live dj a priority of 2,
and the nonstop machine a priority of 1, so djs can login over the nonstop.

Who can help me and can tell me the working setup of icecast with ices cc or
liquidsoap?

Thanks in advance.

Liquidsoap can definitely do what you want, feeding into Icecast.

You can set up feeds such that one has priority over another, such
that if the higher priority one is not present, the lower priority one
gets used, and do fancy things like smooth crossfades between sources.

I personally use that facility to provide a breakdown message if a
feed goes offline or it goes silent for more than 30 seconds.

Have a look at the recipes that are on the Liquidsoap site.

Liquidsoap will decode almost anything you can feed at it and output
in many formats simultaneously.  For 64kbps aac+ you will need the
Fraunhofer encoders (and their ocaml adapters).

No version of ices will do aac.

Thanks for answer.
I use icecast and liquidsoap now in centova cast, but i saw that i not have the
functions of priority and layers. I will take a look at it.

Thanks.
