Being able to use several input.harbor, with different ports

[Azrael]

Hello,

It would be nice to be able to use several input.harbor, each on a different port. Currently, the only way to have several input.harbor is to use mount points, which is uncompatible with Shoutcast.

The main advantage of having several input.harbor (just the way we can have several input.http) is that it would allow to have different kind of live streams.

For example, we could have a fallback(live,playlist) with live = input.harbor(port=8008), and a smooth_add(live2,source) with live2 = input.harbor(port=8010).

So basically, we could connect to different input.harbor, depending on whether we want the playlist to be played in background, or completely paused during the live.

Currently, this is not possible when using Shoutcast to broadcast lives, since Shoutcast does not support several mountpoints. Allowing several input.harbor binding to different ports would solve the problem.

Hi !

This is a feasible feature, but not trivial.

It should need at least that the harbor sources be active, so it should be considered when #302 is closed.
