<div dir="ltr">Simply use VLC and put it on repeat. If a connection is lost during playback, it will reconnect and pick up in the current live position, like you have suggested, without stopping. If it cannot reconnect after 3 times, it goes to the next playlist item. If the playlist is on repeat, it runs indefinitely.<br><div class="gmail_extra"><br clear="all"><div><div class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature">Brad Isbell<br><a href="mailto:brad@musatcha.com" target="_blank">brad@musatcha.com</a><br><a href="http://www.musatcha.com" target="_blank">http://www.musatcha.com</a></div></div>

error.log says,<br>
<br>
"INFO source/source.c Client 120 (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) has fallen too far behind, removing"<br>
<br>
I don't see a setting in icecast.xml that sets the value for "too far behind". I'm guessing it's related to <queue-size>.<br>
<br>
I wish Icecast could dump the buffer and bring the listen-client back up to date instead of dumping the client. The reason being that when network congestion causes Icecast to kick my listen-client off, the client application just gives up. And this is a listen-client I'd like to have running 24/7 so I can monitor the station's backroom server when we are doing all-day music remotes.<br>
<br>
I haven't found a media/url player that attempts re-connect when kicked off. At least under Linux. On Windows a player called AIMP3 works great: if it is disconnected from the server, it tries to reconnect. Over and over and over. I like that behavior.<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>
