Auto Start Odd Cast

[DMBFireman]

I just moved the Denton County Fire Departments audio feed over to a new computer and also added a 2nd Feed (Lewisville Fire Department). I decided to use the RR bundled software because it seemed easy to set up. Before I was using Icecast and Simplecast. I had them set up to automatically start when the computer either rebooted or lost power. After experimenting today I realized that Oddcast sometimes does not connect and begin the feed when the computer reboots. It will load up and say "connected" but I never get the message with the feed information and it never actually brings the feed online. Does anyone know how to get oddcast to load on startup EVERY time. These feeds are hosted in a remote location from my house so I can't be up there to manually start the feeds every time a reboot happens. Thanks for any help...if there is no solution I guess I'll have to see if I can run two feeds using Simplecast again.

K1PGV's ScannerCast plays really good with auto starting and reconnecting.
