We don't want to connect DJs to an Icecast server and insert a scheduled web stream as this would make it too complicated for someone to just keep playing should the next DJ be delayed.
I have a feeling that part of the answer I seek in in this post http://forum.sourcefabric.org/discussion/16137/autodjbackupfallback-script-needs-finishing-touches-help/p1 and this one http://forum.sourcefabric.org/discussion/16423/solution-for-multiple-djs-and-other-input-streams-why-buffering-may-not-be-the-answer/p1 but I just can't see it.
Any help or pointers would be greatly appreciated!
Cheers
Your statement proves that your system works OK and just for you to develop whatever strategy best suite.
If you connect to some terrestrial stations,once the feed is dropped ,then there silence solution chips in
If its automated ,the Dj has to wait until the system checks back to see if the live is connected again.
If its not the switcher or controller room has to connect back the DJ. on line
This brings me thinking,,you may need to get silence detection between you Live and Output.
Google silence detection and try that software
Good Luck

When you have reached that level we can talk.
I do not recommend any radically settings changes to existing ls-script,only additions to have it work for you.
Some of the changes to ls_script suggested in some posts are unnecessary and can only create more trouble for you if airtime makes radical changes
This is why I explained in this post
What most people do not realise,The Autodj/fallback I wrote on can literally be taken outside airtime and work,should your system goes down.
I only give you the basic,I want you to expand,so come on my side.it works.
I do not beat any bush (if I smoke I would puff again),I tried my best to test,then I tell you what will not work.
If you want your radio to work,I will tell you how.If you are experimenting then I await the results
Thank you
Good Luck

For my sake I have 4 different rates (32,64,96,128).If you only have 1 bitrate then only 1 just use url1, if 2 bitrate,use url1 and url2 etc.
Please note you can use different streams,the option is yours.
Here is a self explanatory sample
# Combine lives and files:
source1 = fallback(track_sensitive=false,
transitions=[url1, url2,url3,url4,transjingles],
[url1, url2,url3,url4,playlist])
# playlist can be my schedule or just something until streams come back alive
#This playlist can also be a block of drops,promo,station ID etc.
# tI will use mksafe will produce silence then strip the silence
# only necessary if the playlist ends
source1 =mksafe(source1)
# Use a strip fallback to remove the silence and to autodj
"Your code here"
#End code
This will solve your quote above and give you a smooth transparent transition.
it is why I said you have to develop a strategy.
The solution you propose is because you are having hardware and software problem.
You might soon be back.as load read your system.
Wish You luck
