Icecast - Oct 2021 - Use endpoint to activate fallback-override

Hi,

I would like to activate fallback-override via an endpoint

For example, according to the documentation
To set up the fallback mountpoint of a mount I use this endpoint
/admin/fallbacks?mount=/stream.ogg&fallback=/fallback.ogg

Is it possible to also have an endpoint to set up the fallback override?
Like this;
/admin/fallbacks?mount=/stream.ogg&fallback-override=1

thank you for your interest.

At this point it is not possible. But:

Generally I'm not sure if this kind of on-the-fly reconfiguration that
is not backed by config change is the direction we want to go. If there
is a specific usecase I'm surely interested in hearing about it as...
this gives valuable input to exactly this decision.

I would love to see a ticket about this. Do you want to open one?:
https://gitlab.xiph.org/xiph/icecast-server

Otherwise I would open one but I think if you open it you can include a
bit more background story directly.


With best regards,
