No source = directory of mp3's?

Hello,

First of all great job on steamcast, I really love it and it's working great so far, however, I hope someone can tell me how i can set it up so that when there is no source (dj) that it will auto switch to a local directory of music files in a shuffle or something?

Is this possible and if so, please tell me how to configure this.

it is but not with steamcast alone, you can use something like sc_trans from shoutcast to have a random assortment of music run on a backup mount.

k cool and what if this sc_ thing is running and i want to takeover as dj? do i need to kick it or can it auto take over in some way?

And if i disconnect then again is it able to auto pick up?

yea the backup mount is only for temporary measures and will bring the listeners back to the original mount when the source continues.

What do you exactly mean with a backup mount? as in sc_trans config i dont see anything to set that?

the backup mount is just a regular mount designated as another mount's BackupMount. See the steamcast configuration file for more details.
