Thank you. In this case, the source client is the fallback mount,
which is an mp3 file. <br>
<br>
I think I found my issue. <br>
<br>
The code in icecast.xml looks like this:<br>
<br>
<mount type="normal">
<br>
<mount-name>/stream</mount-name>
<br>
<max-listeners>6</max-listeners>
<br>
<burst-size>65536</burst-size>
<br>
<fallback-mount>/fallback.mp3</fallback-mount>
<br>
<fallback-override>1</fallback-override>
<br>
<fallback-when-full>1</fallback-when-full>
<br>
<stream-name>KPOV private remote
stream</stream-name>
<br>
<br>
When the Icecast source client mount "/stream" is powered off or
disconnected, the listen client hears the fallback-mount, which is
the file fallback.mp3 . This is expected behavior. <br>
<br>
If I use the "Kill Source" button on the web admin page at
/admin/listmounts.xsl to kill the fallback, the listen client stops
playing and the listmounts.xsl page shows<br>
<br>
<blockquote>Message: Source Removed<br>
<br>
Return Code: 1<br>
</blockquote>
<br>
This also seems like expected behavior. <br>
<br>
If I reconnect the listen client, I hear the fallback.mp3 file
again. <br>
<br>
But if I refresh the listmounts.xsl page (it is still showing the
"Source Removed" message and Return Code), it kills the stream
again. So refreshing that page seems to re-issue the "Kill Source"
command. This is unexpected behavior.<br>
<br>
But no big deal: if I first navigate away from listmounts.xsl then
return (instead of refreshing it) it shows the fallback playing
normally. <br>
<br>
A RFE: would it be possible for the current stream bitrates to be
displayed on stats.xsl ?<br>

<pre wrap="">Hi,
I see that I can use the "Kill Source" button on the Icecast admin web
page to kill our fallback.mp3 file.
Now that I have killed the fallback file, I don't see a way to
re-start
it. Do I need to stop / start the icecast service?

This has nothing to do with Icecast, it's just that your source client
has to reconnect.
It depends on the source client how it handles reconnecting to Icecast.
What "kill source" does, is just disconnect the source client, nothing
else.
