Mpd with icecast

Hello,

I configured mpd with icecast to play a radio stream on the internet and I wanna make something dynamic like, if the stream goes down ( inet problems / network related issues) mpd should automatically switch to local playlist ( a bunch of mp3's ). Is there a way to do this using mpd.conf file or should I go deeper ( make a script or something ) ? I'm new to this btw.

Thank you.

X.

Re: Mpd with icecast

uhm what?
icecast has nothing to do with playing internet streams with mpd. that part made absolutely no sense at all.

and for your actual question: yes this would have to be scripted.

yes. but then your question itself makes no sense anymore. mpd does not know remote/local playlists at all. it only has exactly ONE playlist.
if the icecast output is enabled, it will be streamed, if not, it wont. thats all

Re: Mpd with icecast

it does not, because i still dont know what you are trying to do.
i can only guess:

load a different set of music, as soon as the icecast output is disabled?
