[Icecast] CentOS AutoDJ Problem

[MARŠ - Luka Cvetko]

Hello,

​here are my personal suggestions on the matter. I will stick to the
Icecast and streaming part of it, as other questions in your message regard
the difference between Linux distributions in general (CentOS is one flavor
of Linux, different from Ubuntu or Debian). Note that there are many other
solutions available.

To have the server relay a live feed and play automated music while the
live feed is inactive, use Liquidsoap (
​http://​
savonet.sourceforge.net).
​ It is a "programming language for audio," so you are able to program what
happens with your stream completely trough the command line.
For a novice, something similar to the open-source Airtime (
http://www.sourcefabric.org/en/airtime/features/) would be better. This
piece of software is based on liquid soap, but includes a sweet graphical
interface. Your DJ's will be able to upload music, automate music or make
playlists even trough their browsers.​
​Commercial options such as CentovaCast are available. ​

​If you use liquid soap, add your .liq script to the start sequence. In
Debian, that would be with the update-rc.d command. Liquidsoap runs as a
daemon using the -d flag. You can run any command as a daemon by installing
the "daemon" package.
Airtime will do the startup for you.

Kind regards,
Luka​
