[Icecast-dev] Server Side Spot Replacement?

[Rune Hafskjær]

Hi Lin,

Thank you for your response. If I understand you correct your suggestion is one mount for ads per listener? Or is it possible to move everyone to a single mount with a scripted playlist that plays individual ads from a different CDN based on URL, IP and querystring parameters etc? Would love more detailed help to how/if something like that can be achieved.

And how do I “from the outside” trigger the switch to a new mount and back? Can it be done via a specific ID3 tag, does Icecast have some sort of API or other mechanisms for doing this?

Appreciate any insights on this,

BR
Rune

It looks like you'd have to patch icecast to allow individual listener moves - do you control the live feed? Whatever triggers the ad could also move listeners to their own mounts. Also, keep in mind that could be suddenly much more taxing on the server than usual.

Thank you Phillip, my first time here.

What I want to achieve is to replace ads in a live ad break on live streamed radio with personal spots for each listener. I want to recognize the start of the break, split listeners into separate streamed spots and then back again to the live stream when the spots has been played.

The main goal is to offer programmatic data driven ads on streamed radio and bring radio into the modern advertising world.

There are a number of companies that offers this in various cloud solutions in connection with Icecast servers, but there are pros and cons with the offerings and I want to understand how it's done and consider build it myself.


Best regards,
Rune

I think it would be helpful if you could give some more context. Maybe by explaining your goal in a non-technical way (that often helps).

Have a nice day,

with best regards,
