Is there a way of catching errors in icecast output ?

[Russsgithub]

I'm running a script where an input.http source and icecast output are being dynamically created.

Situations occur where I get a error from both output.icecast and input.http . Is there a way of catching these errors ?

I have tried try/catch , but I don't think it was made for this ?

Thanks

I worked around this by calling http.head on the input.http stream url and only created it if the response status code is below 400.

Icecast error - I send a very small file to the url port mount through process.run(ffmpeg ...... ) and used the status code of that response as above.

It's be nice to have error catching of sources, but this works,.

Hi,

I think http.head is great for plain HTTP requests, that's the way the protocol is suppose to work.

Have you tried it with output.icecast as well? Recent icecast servers do support regular http PUT request so it's possible they also support head requests..

@toots
I'll try, thanks.

I couldn't work out how to add credentials to http.head, if I sent a request to a possible mount I got 404 back every time. Though I did move to curl to get the header rather than ffmpeg which works fine and removed the need to push a small file out.
