[icecast-dev] ices: forcing an immediate reread of the playlist

[Brant Chamberlain]

Hi Michael,

         I'll try, but just from looking at the code inside im_playlist.c 
it doesn't appear to check the pl->nexttrack variable inside the 'while(1)' 
loop unless it reaches the eof on the playlist file. Honestly I don't 
understand the ogg function calls, but just wondering if code has to be 
added to check this.
