Thanks for the second answer neralex!
I guess my equivalent of your situation is everything but the “live” part. So,
imagine what you provided without live.
The question is, whey does it always go to the emergency file? Shouldn’t it
only go to it if there is an issue with the source?
Thanks again,
Alan

Hey!
I'm working with SHOUTcast v2 and maybe it helps to understand it. You have to
set the fallback after your live-port, its like a priority in which order the
sources will be used. If "live" not connected, so use the "fallback".
#port and pass for djs
live =
input.harbor(icy=true,icy_metadata_charset="UTF-8","/",port=8610,password="hackme")
#fallback
emergency = single("/home/shoutcast/emergency/jingle_001.mp3")
radio = fallback(track_sensitive=false,[live,emergency])
If you would have a 24/7 rotating playlist you could set it between "live" and
"fallback".
radio = fallback(track_sensitive=false,[live,source_247,emergency])
That means "live" has the first prio and it can connect everytime. If "live" is
not connected then the 24/7 playlist will start and if the the 24/7 is not
ready then your fallback will start the rotation of your great song.
