Slightly off topic, but there is an internet radio station I have set as my morning alarm, when my radio turns on or I switch to that station it always plays their intro track, then a song.
The intro is just a short ~3 second "Welcome to...".
It's the only station I've witnessed that does this but I like it, I wonder if icecast has a feature like that.
- erk__ 8y agoEven more off topic, the Korean live streaming site Afreeca does something similar, when you get the hls segments the first 3 you get are called "pre loading" I am not really sure why there are there. Though I suspect it is because they usually breaks players so you can not play it without doing something about it.
- therealidiot 8y agoYou can set an intro file in Icecast's mount settings http://icecast.org/docs/icecast-2.4.1/config-file.html#mountsettings http://icecast.org/docs/icecast-2.4.1/config-file.html#mount...
- alias_neo 8y agoNice thanks, I'm tempted to set up my own radio station for my morning alarm now!
- therealidiot 8y agoI do something similar, using a liquidsoap script as the source to icecast https://www.liquidsoap.info/ https://www.liquidsoap.info/
- mikeash 8y agoMy local NPR station has an intro set up to play ads, I mean “sponsorship messages.”
