    Hi!

    These days we had one of out first live web broadcasting using Airtime. Usually we use a laptop at the remote site and oddcast. We connect to airtime but also to icecast directly. The second stream, the one to icecast, is for us to listen and to know what's happening at the event and when to get live. For us it'
    s not suitable to use the auto-switch feature. But yesterday we had no laptop but only a smart phone and we connected only to airtime. So I didn't know when to go live. I did manage to find a [very] complicated work-around but I just wanted to ask you if you had similar problems and how did you solve them.
    Is there a way I don't know in airtime to listen the incoming master/dj stream? Would you find such a feature useful?

    Thanks.

    There is no way around passing pre-stream remote clients to a server (icecast/shoutcast) .

    remember the basic flow would be

    playout===>dsp(streamclients)=====>server (streamer)

    you can only listen at the playout or the server   (the begin or the end)

    The playout stage is elimentary

    at the server set a seperate mount

    <mount>
            <mount-name>/liveclients1</mount-name>
            <hidden>0</hidden>
    </mount>

    now go to

    http://yourserverIP:port/listenclients1

    when you want to use this in Airtime

    just  set it as a webstream for the appropriate time

    If you have 100,1000,whatever djs/live (depending on your bandwidth),just give them  like liveclients 2,3,4.......
    and so you can listen anyone individually
