[Icecast] 404 error => stream redirect / relay

[Ladislav Soukup]

Is there any known way how to redirect all 404 errors to a stream?
I can see many request to non-existing publish points (mostly old streams
that are no longer active) and I would like to redirect them to one
specific mount with audio loop (looped stream)... but I don't want to
create relay streams manually for each non-existing pubpoint, but rather
create one general "404 relay"...
Any ideas, please?

Well that is a new attribute to 2.4.1 but if i understand it correctly it
might just be what you're looking for:
try to set a mount with type "default" and set the fallback/relay on it.

ooohhh :) interesting... didn't think about that... I was stuck on catching
404 and there is a new default mount config...
I will try this... after quick test, there are some problems with the
default mount, but it may be because of wrong configuration... I will have
to experiment with the settings.

thanks :)

Alternatively, you could parse your logs for 404s, and generate a long list
of aliases to existing streams. This would give you more control over the
content.
