We’ve recently put together a suite of 3 amazing tools for broadcasters using the SHOUTcast platform.
SHOUTcast on its own seriously lacks certain functionality, so our tools are designed to target the three major problems that we’ve found so many broadcasters face.
- Getting listeners tuned in to SHOUTcast via their iPhone and Blackberry Devices
- Allowing people to hear your radio station using ALL common media players. No matter what operating system – SHOUTcast via Windows Media, iTunes, Winamp and More.
- Finally, providing a simple way for anyone to hear your broadcast right from within their browser. SHOUTcast flash player which works on IE, Firefox, Safari and Chrome.
Find out how to get all 3 free tools for your radio station by watching the following video:
We’ve had a number of requests in the past for Stream Geo Locking. This basically looks at the listener IP address and if they are in a country which is ‘disallowed’ from your stream – will not let them connect. It will then re-direct them either to a page on your own website explaining the geo-locking policy (allowed countries etc) or it will display a generic message explaining this.
This was introduced to our services a few months ago and is available to all SHOUTcast clients at no extra charge. Just look in the ‘Advanced’ section of your SHOUTcast server in Wavepanel and you’ll see an interface whereby you can set it up.
Our parent company Igniso Limited has launched a new software package ‘StreamStats’ for people who operate Windows Media Services and wish to provide public, live statistics of their WMS publishing points.
StreamStats provides a realtime overview of statistics for publishing points running on Microsofts Windows Media Services in listener stats are outputted in HTML, XML and CSV formats.
