Phillipp,thanks for the reply…

<div class="">I figured there wouldn’t be an out of the box way. I assume someone would have to write a script and link it to the configuration? If it’s complicated, fair enough, I was just wondering the general process and what resources might be needed to
get it done.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Recently I’ve tried to put an intro on each stream, but yes we do run into people with poor internet connections who complain about drops in connection causing the <intro> to play more than once. Plus, Google has the data built-in that I don’t
have necessarily displayed very well with Icecast. I guess I was hoping for it to be “that simple.” </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">As far as what I’ve got - Icecast 2.4.4, on a Centos 7 machine. No load balancing, nothing fancy at all. Just did a general install, ran over SSL (HTTPS), and changed a few things in the config regarding burst-size depending on the mount point. </div>

</div>
<div class="">At some point in the future, we may want to look into someone building us a bridge/link via the google API (I’d assume, but correct me if I’m wrong), but it’s a government agency, so the process is finicky! </div>

<br class="">
generally speaking this is possible. However it is a bit more<br class="">
complicated and depends on a few variables.<br class="">
<br class="">
First you need to tag each listener in some way. Then you must ensure<br class="">
they only hit the intro once. E.g. with 2.5.x you can do that with the<br class="">
auth system.<br class="">
<br class="">
But, also keep in mind that some clients are broken and may generate<br class="">
more than one request. So it might be a bit more tricky to get the into<br class="">
sent to the one the listener is actually listening to.<br class="">
<br class="">
I think it would be best to provide a bit more details: Exact version<br class="">
of Icecast used, type if load balancing, general setup architecture,<br class="">
...; otherwise it will be a bit of a guessing game.<br class="">
<br class="">
<br class="">
With best regards,<br class="">
<br class="">

reply off-list.<br class="">
