First I want to say thanks again for the speedy help I got here to get Airtime up and running. It's connecting to both Icecast and SHOUTcast perfectly now.
I'm standing up this Airtime server to act as a failover for a SAM server that's already in service. Basically we just want to be able to have Airtime take over a SHOUTcast stream if the SAM server goes down so there's no (or as little as possible) dead air.
My first question is if it's possible to have Airtime automatically take over the SHOUTcast stream if it detects that it's down?
Next question relates to shows in this failover scenario. If essentially this Airtime server will be idle unless it needs to take over the stream, since Airtime is oriented around scheduled shows, would the best thing to do be simply schedule repeating shows and have them running, but have the streams in Airtime disabled? Then if we were flipping over to Airtime in the event of an outage, we'd go in and just enable the streams.
Is that a decent strategy or are there other options related to failover/redundancy?
Thanks.
