A relay is a function in the SHOUTcast server that tunes in to another (SHOUTcast/Icecast/Cast) stream and sends out the same stream again on the server. Relays simply repeat the stream and are not able to change the content or bitrate of a stream. To set one up: Go to Settings in Centova Cast, [...]

The stream title not changing is a commonly heard issue. This is because SHOUTcast uses the info in their database instead of the one you provide once you set it to public. It is easy to fix in two steps: Check your mount point configuration. Under the "AutoDJ" tab there often still is the [...]

Of course! To access your SHOUTcast server’s admin section, please log in into Centova Cast, click on ‘Admin’ in the left navigation bar. If you don't directly get a login prompt press on "Server Admin". When prompted, please log in as ‘admin’ with your administrator password (which is defined in Centova Cast). [...]

Icecast has two relay modes a master and a mountpoint relay. The master relay will relay a whole Icecast server, since this is advanced and requires extra authentication we will not handle this. To relay a single stream open settings then "Mountpoint Relaying". Tn the example here we want to relay the Cast stream [...]

SHOUTcast.com seems to hide certain Icecast listings from their main site to promote their own software, while they are listed in their API. Of course SHOUTcast.com does not only support SHOUTcast servers but also Icecast servers so also Cast 0.x. But you'll have to make sure a few settings are correct. If you use [...]

n the past we made an Icecast fork with special improvements for our services and was meant to later on be what Cast is now. The last year we hit some limits causing us to decide to do a complete rewrite. One of the features this old platform had was an improved look. When [...]
