using radioboss as autodj

[unex]

we try using radioboss 5.3.3 as autodj. we wrote into the encoder connection settings a timeout to restart the connection after 5 seconds. when kicking the autodj (radioboss) via our website radioboss connects autodj within 1 second. so no one is able to kick the autodj and to connect himself/herself to our streaming server. Using older versions of radioboss up to version 5.0.x are not affected by this problem. Please fix the problem.

Newer RadioBOSS versions restart immediately after the connection failed. This allows fewer downtime for listeners. Do you use Icecast or Shoutcast streaming server?

i am using shoutcast. if you implement such a feature its good that it works.

You can use RadioBOSS Remote Control API to turn it off and on when needed: http://manual.djsoft.net/radioboss/en/remote_controlapi.htm

The connands will look like (change your-ip-address and PASSWORD accordingly):
Connect: http://your-ip-address:9000/?pass=PASSWORD&cmd=connect
Disconnect: http://your-ip-address:9000/?pass=PASSWORD&cmd=disconnect
(you can create a special web page to execute those commands, so that you will not give DJs the complete access to RadioBOSS).

We may also add an option to make it work like it did before (do not reconnect immediately).
