Yeah, basically Use LibreTime Authentication allows you to use the built-in login system to determine what username and password the Icecast /show mount port authenticates the login by. Basically if a DJ is given permission to a specific show and this is checked then they can also override the show and livestream by connecting to the /show mount point.

The Custom authentication is a way of setting up a show specific login that I believe is typed in below. I’ve not tested this functionality but it probably works. I hope this makes sense.
