Hi list,<br><br>I'm having some problems with my new Icecast setup and I was hoping you can help me with it. My Icecast setup looks like this:<br><br>[encoder] [encoder]<br> \ /<br> [back-end node]<br> | | | |<br>
[fn1][fn2][fn3][fn4]<br><br>I have two active encoders, one is encoding to the active mount and one is encoding to the fallback mount on the back-end node. Configuration of the mounts is as follows:<br><br><mount><br>
<mount-name>/activemount.mp3</mount-name><br> <fallback-mount>/fallbackmount.mp3</fallback-mount><br> </mount><br> <mount><br> <mount-name>/fallbackmount.mp3</mount-name><br>
</mount><br><br>The front-end nodes are all relaying the mount from the back-end node. Configuration of the mount on the front-end nodes is as follows:<br><br><relay><br> <server>back-end node ip</server><br>
<port>back-end node port</port><br> <mount>/activemount</mount><br> <username>XXX</username><br> <password>XXX</password><br> </relay><br>
<br>The idea is when the primary encoder fails the signal of the stream is still available through the fallback mount. The front-end nodes should be moved to the fallback mount. I appears the front-end nodes are moved to the fallback mount, because the are showing meta data of the streams (sent by the encoders), but none of the streams are working. Here is some output from the error log on one of the front-end nodes:<br>
