@dropitlikecross You need just to set up a webhook via Azuracast admin panel: provide your webhook's URL and that is it.

@dropitlikecross You need just to set up a webhook via Azuracast admin panel: provide your webhook's URL and that is it.

So if I'm running both ffmpeg and azuracast on the same box, I'd just be inputting the IP address of that machine into the Azuracast admin panel webhook section?

Also can I run azuracast and ffmpeg on 2 separate machines with webhook.py running or is webhook.py reliant on azuracast running on that machine? Sorry new to python and trying to understand what @app.route is doing.

Thanks @ohld :)

@app.route just tells "if someone comes to / endpoint of your server - call that function". The script can be hosted anywhere

Is this full script ?

Hi can you give an example of how you would set up a webhook for this to work on azuracast. I think thats the confusing portion.
