Hi Robert,
Unfortunately I am not replying to answer your question but to ask a question on
pre-roll. I am working on a similar project but still at the configuration
stages. For some reason my intro file is not being played. I am also using
Icecast 2.4.4 and have four mount points on one relay server. I am trying to
use my intro file on only one mount point. I am also doing mp3 not HLS. Any
insight ? I have attached the config for my mount point.
Thank you so much

Hi Robert,
Intro files play whenever a listener client connects. If you are disconnecting
from WiFi and going to LTE, for example, this is expected behavior as you are
severing the connection and re-connecting. It sounds like the same type of case
with users with "unstable Internet connections" as they may well be
disconnected from the Icecast server and reconnect when network is available
again.
Icecast, AFAIK, doesn't support HLS (

) so I can't comment on that.
Sincerely,
