Actually, just did an audit... I've 'inactivated' 18 streams... most are temporary, I hope.. .for example at least two are for transmitter issues.... a couple for extremely lousy content...
there's no difference in percentage between Pi or other types.. about even across the spectrum... most are simply due to folks not paying attention and checking once in awhile, in my opinion... also about even perceentages from 'our' icecast, virsus other sources. About 6 or so appear to have simply lost audio from the receiver... stream still active, but no audio.
There are about 5 which I think maybe we just ought to 'unlist' since they appear to have consistent 'down time', but again I think that's operators problems not software or platform..
A bigger irritation to me, personally, is the variation in audio levels between stations.... a lot of the extremely low, or extremely loud streams are from 'direct access' or being 'ripped' from other sources, rather than from the folks following this board... and/or streaming through Chris' Icecast.
