Add load balancer stream link for multiple relays

144 votes

azurarelays adds additional audiostream links. So, loadbalancer must know number of listeners on each relay and return the lowest.

Also, it can be done with properly sorting in generated M3U/PLS file.
Low loaded mount points/relays at top, high loaded - bottom.

Scalability - Multiple servers configured to relay a single stream can provide more listener slots / bandwidth.
High Availability - By relaying streams, I can have redundant servers operating in a high availability configuration.
Geographic distribution - Servers relaying streams can be deployed closer to my listeners, to provide a more consistent listening experience and reduce the impact of network congestion.
Fallbacks - A relay can be used as a backup stream, in case a source disconnects.

Maybe integrating Azuracast with HAProxy will do this. https://www.haproxy.org/
