RADIOBOSS.FM stream hosting [beta]

The quick links page is good. The welcome email doesn't cover it all, since the parameters aren't handled the same way they are on the old site. 

Also, does the new server support an MP3 stream as the old one did?  I have problems with ASX and some of the other streams on certain browsers.

Thanks.

my v2 free trial shoutcast server won't work with my wavestreaming autodj account at all
Can you please give more information - what exactly doesn't work? Are there any error messages?

If you can't connect, this may happen because you registered your account more than 2 weeks ago and it was inactive - those accounts are deleted automatically. You can login to your customer area: https://v2.radioboss.fm/whmcs/clientarea.php and check your stream hosting status.
Anyway, trial accounts are designed to just demonstrate the features, they are not supposed to be used for real world broadcasting. I'd suggest you to take the $5 plan if you want to use the fully-featured account.

If you're talking about AutoDJ, then if you're using Shoutcast v2 you'll need MP3 License ($5), please see this page for the details: https://v2.radioboss.fm/features/auto-dj/
You don't need a license if you're using an Icecast server.
If you're broadcasting yourself, you can use MP3/OGG/AAC without any limitations and with any server type.

I've been off-the-air for a few hours, and I can't access http://s1.radioboss.fm.  Problems there?
The old version of radioboss.fm has been shut down (as was said in the first post in August 2013 "The current free version of radioboss.fm will be discontinued soon.") - I'm sorry the exact shutdown date hasn't been mentioned.
You can use the new https://v2.radioboss.fm for your streams. If features new control panel and has many features (and also more reliable). Plans start at $5/month. I'm sorry for the inconvenience...

bobby,
What your Centova login is? As I said, probably your free trial account got deleted due to inactivity. You can register a new one.

That REALLY should have been mentioned.  Not typical of the service we've usually had here.

Yes, I'm sorry again for this, the date was written here: http://www.djsoft.net/smf/index.php/topic,3130.msg13205.html#msg13205, but it's 6th page of a topic and I suppose not much people have seen it...
I've added 2 free months to your v2.radioboss.fm account as an apology.

I am broadcasting myself.  Which of the tunenin links supports MP3?  The ASX link will launch an MP3 player (after a security warning) in Windows, but neither that nor the QTL link will launch in Safari.  The old site supported MP3, which worked fine on a Mac/iPad/iPhone.

All of the links provide the stream in a format you're broadcasting in. File extension is not .mp3 because it's a playlist. .m3u, .asx, .qtl - are all playlists for different players and they contain the only entry: link to your stream.
You can also use a direct link to your stream if you like: http://s2.radioboss.fm:8430/stream

It is fixed already - was a monitoring system fault. Please let me know if you still have problems with it.
 
Hey djsoft

it appears i only have 1500 data transfer now

can you fix that back to unlimited for me on my free trial account please

thanks
 
bobby
All free accounts now have the limit in order to prevent high server load. I've raised your account limit to 10GB.
 
Hey djsoft

my free trial v2 shoutcast server is still resetting alot on its own

fun0,

This message is to inform you that your streaming server went down in the past few minutes, but has been restarted successfully.

Yes, a new Shoucast version has been installed and all streams have been restarted for the changes to take effect.

Any way to pass album art to the streaming host in the live mode?
What streaming server are you using? RadioBOSS can send artwork to Shoutcast v2 server.

RadioBoss.  I send the artwork to Live365 in the comment section of the metadata, and use a HTTP Request to pass a string to Live365.  I don't see any similar syntax in the CentovaCast docs.

CentovaCast doesn't support this feature AFAIK. But it can search for artwork automatically using the online databases.
