Reload Steamcast config without restarting server

Post by wedtm »

Hey,

I got a quick question about steamcast.

Is it possible to update the password to broadcast without kicking the users?

The reason I'd like to know is because I'm trying to write a script that will automatically update the shoutcast password when it's ran.

I want DJ's to be able pick their own password to broadcast on, and when it's time for their slot, I want the server to reload the config file.

I've already got everything done for this, except the part about making streamcast reload itself WITHOUT kicking the users.

I NEED THIS FOR WINDOWS BTW.

Easiest way would be to use the form on the admin panel which allows you to adjust the password.

You can tie into it with a script. You can also try sending a HUP signal (reload) to the process but this technique would be very beta.
