[Icecast] Why "has fallen too far behind"?

[Greg Ogonowski]

The client should be able to reconnect, IF the client supports
auto-reconnect.

This is a client responsibility.

IF for some reason, the client is not able to reconnect manually, something
at the server level is preventing a reconnect. That should not be.

Is that the case here?

That answers question 1 but not 2 or 3.

"The man with two clocks knoweth not the time."

The audio source clock does not match the audio destination clock, and
sooner or later, something needs to "give." This causes buffer under/over
flows.

The ICY protocol has no provision for timestamps which can be used to help
circumvent this in player clients, if supported.

HLS and DASH have this ability.

Hello,

 

We are seeing in Firebase this kind of errors:

 

 
com.google.android.exoplayer2.upstream.HttpDataSource$InvalidResponseCodeExc
eption: Response code: 401

 

So, after 12h trying to reproduce the error we saw what's happening. If the
listener connection buffer due to anything, Icecast remove it's connection
and log the item bellow:

 

    [2018-05-22  23:17:24] INFO source/send_to_listener Client 220977
(xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) has fallen too far behind, removing

 

My question is:

1.	Why Icecast need to do this?
2.	Why the client can't reconnect?
3.	The error 401 is when the client tries to reconnect and our auth
deny?

 

Best,

Thiago
