[Icecast] Buffer in IceCast

[Sascha Bieler]

Well I am just a user from a radio station in germany, too. These are just
some ideas to maybe help you.

For the buffering thing you asked for you have to wait for the correct
answer of the developer.

 

Regards,

Sascha

Well, if it is the only option to overcome the problems I will certainly do
it,

Ups.

Is it possible to place a second (backup) streamer in another network and
you define a fallback mount?

Actually my IP is static, 

My ISP is changing the route (my path to IceCast server). It takes more than
10 seconds to recover also I'm loosing the connection.

So you have a dynamic IP-address. Right? Did you ever thought about a
static?

It happens sometimes after 3 hours, sometimes after 24 hours and lasts for
15-20 seconds. The problem is caused by my ISP actually and I can not do
anything from ISP side.

My client reconnects offcourse but server is playing silence during the
failure.

How long are these interrupts caused through network failure?

Does your client (streamer) not reconnect automatically?

Hello,

I'm trying to establish a radio station using Icecast but I need a
recommendation about a problem. I hope you can give me some tips about the
issue. 

My case is: my icecast server and ice cast client are in different locations
and connection between these two is not so healthy. Sometimes network
problems causes client to loose connection with server and this causes
server to broadcast silence to the listeners. I want to get rid of this.
What I wonder is if IceCast Server buffers some amount of time before
broadcasting it to the listeners. I mean the stream data in the buffer can
be broadcasted to listeners when connection between server and client is
lost. I think if there is such kind of implementation it can help me on
solving this issue.

Thanks,
