Shoutcast looping at the and of the broadcast

Post by mojeradio_uk »

I'm trying to configure MODstream watcher so that when the presenter disconnects for technical reasons, MODstream starts the playlist as soon as possible. Kind of no silence rule. Unfortunately when I'm doing a test, shoutcast plays a loop after disconnecting. Around a few seconds. MODstream doesn't detect silence and plays this loop. Has anyone had a similar problem?

When the source disconnects, SHOUTcast doesn’t immediately close all streaming connections. This is unfortunately the case, as such the listeners still receive what was last buffered by SHOUTcast.

So ProppFrexx as a listener doesn’t get any better information.

But if you are also in control of the origin sender, you might send a command from the presenter disconnecting to ProppFrexx to stop the MODStream and continue the playlist?
