Hello
everyone. Im hoping someone can help me out with the stream hand over
described in the airtime manual. I have set everything according to the
manual. Airtime works great and I can tap into the "live" mount point on
my icecast server.
The airtime manual give instructions to setup the stream handover between mount points.
That is the code given in the manual. I have noticed that when I type in
the url for a mount point in my browser in only shows up if something
is streaming to it. According to this code and the manual I should be
able to tap into the "stream" mount point and it will direct me to the
active stream in order. I have not implemented this on my website as of
yet. Currently, for test purposes we are using the Airtime media player for playback on the site.
If i point the media player to the URL for the "stream" mount point will it fallback to
the "live" or "airtime" stream even though nothing is directly streaming
to the "stream" mount point? Hope my explanation makes sense. I just
want to make sure i understand the flow of the stream before we
implement on the site.
