Please, can You tell me, where exactly in the settings, can I do That? In AutoCUE?
How can I do that, while I broadcasting? I need to stop broadcast, close program and open Configurating tool, and do all changes there, so after that I can start program again?
Im really sorry for stupid simple question, but Im simly person, and I ll be really thankfull for simple answers.
Please, if I do make change in settings, like changing the levels in AutoCUE section, it will be active and functional immediatelly for whole music archive, or new tracks only? do I have do something special, to applay the settings to whole library?
Hello Stefan,
once again I would like to thank you very much for your quick and professional help. Thanks to your recommendations, I have managed to set everything according to my ideas.
Please allow me to ask you about one more area that I cannot solve even after a rather detailed study of the resources on the Internet and on the forum.
When streaming via icecast and shoutcast subscription servers, I can’t set the stream to also display metadata and track covers, although they do appear in the mairlist.
This should be done either by sending the data via ftp server, or by “encoding”, which I am an absolute amateur at.
I don’t know if you will be able to help me with this problem, but if you do, I would be extremely grateful.
Hi, it’s not possible to send covers directly within a stream. All the players on websites etc. will use different sources like the image databases from Deezer, iTunes etc. to search for a suitable cover whenever the song info has changed.
Another way would be to upload the covers to a server and let the app or website-player display the related covers by using a script. But this will only work on your own website/app.
It is much easier to send the correct metadata i.e. “Artist - Title” within the stream so the chance that a player/app displays the correct cover is as high as possible.
In the metadata log section of the encoder the variables
%a - %b
will deliver Title and Artist when they were saved correctly for the title.
My hardware setup is a bit complicated.
If I stream directly through the encoder in the mAIRlist, it all works. Integration of the output sound processor via StereoTool also.
But my master audio from mAirlist, passes through the winamp dsp plugin of StereoTool, passes through the master output and goes through the recording tascam device to the hardware sound processor C4 from Angry Audio and after final editing goes to the dev broadcast DB01-TX through which I stream it to the internet via radio hosting cloudrad.io.
This setting logically interrupts the artist - song metadata signal and the transfer of the artwork.
For a long time I’m trying to find a way to get this information to stream to the hosting, so that if it’s with a relay, it’s streamed with audio.
I know it’s complicated, but there must be a way to solve it.
I don’t want to disconnect my hardware audio end processor from the relay just so I can stream the metadata and album art.
Some setting is possible in the DEVA streaming device, but I have no idea how to set it up and so far no one has been able to help me.
If I’m bothering you, please forgive me, just write one word and I’m done.
Hello Stefan,
Many thanks for sending it to me, it looks interesting!!!
I will see a bit this week what is about and if it can work for me, meanwhile, I am using my Deva DB91-TX only to send the audio stream, then using the Logging function on Mairlist to send the metadata to the Shoutcast (via CentovaCast) which is working fine for me. I am planning to use de Deva as a shoutcast server, and not pay for a shoutcast server, as I was doing with my Barix instreamer, but I have an issue with my internet, it is a 4G cell SIM which I use in a modem, so I can’t open ports… But as soon I get a proper internet connection, I will see to put it on practice, and check if this solution can work for me, to send the metadata together with the audio, it would be great!!!
I will probably get back to you when I will do this,
Many thanks for the tip!!!
Regards,
Julio
I want to thanked very much to Stefan and other, or helping me, now my biggest issue is gone!
Solution was logging and adding a full ip adres of the server with “http://”
