fixed for real now, totally missed that you were ...

fixed

well did you fill that out with more then just pass?

You will need a SourceUser as well and you also need to make sure you set SourceIsSC=Yes for each new mount.

to source the back up mount you would need to have a seperate instance of your source program connect to it via the correct credentials. It is not neccessary for the source to specify the mount name. Just make sure your passwords for the source and the backup are different. This is how Steamcast ...

well just setup the source that runs continuous music to auto reconnect. When you are ready to go live, kick this source, and connect yours within the auto reconnect time limit.

As far as not being able to use your original source, my first guess is that your original ...

i am not sure if icecast is capable of this. I just myself added this features to Steamcast, it's still experimental so you can use that if you like. Will only work with mp3 at this time though.

You might hit up oddsock's forum on the lame_enc.dll problem, it could be that you have an incompatible version. Make sure you get the latest oddcast. I use v3 atm and it seemed to work with the latest version of lame_enc.dll

The error that it can't see the server has to do with the fact that ...
