A modern streaming platform. The boring parts are automated away, the interesting parts are exactly as flexible as you need them.
One single stream, three protocols simultaneously. Your DJ can broadcast with Mixxx (Icecast) today, a colleague with RadioBoss (Shoutcast v1) tomorrow, someone else with BUTT (Shoutcast v2) the day after, no reconfiguration needed. Other panels force you to pick one protocol. We don't.
With DGNCast Native + Opus codec you stream at the same quality with half the bitrate. Slow DSL, mobile hotspot, hotel Wi-Fi. Works. Upload calculator.
No hard cuts during DJ handovers. The server mixes old and new DJ in parallel with configurable fade duration (0 to 8s). Listeners hear a continuous stream, just like a real DJ set. Only with DGNCast Native Protocol. Details.
Native protocol DJs each get their own key, rotatable, revocable, with audit log (last used + IP). No more shared source passwords.
Automatic fanout to both formats. Your listeners get the right format for every device, you don't have to stream twice.
Upload your tracks, AutoDJ takes over when no DJ is live. Seamless handover in both directions. MP3, OGG, FLAC, WAV, all supported.
Every DJ gets their own username + password. Enable, disable, reset password, all in the portal.
24h peak, average listening time, IP history, session counters. Transparent and real-time per stream. Also per customer for resellers.
https:// linksEvery stream gets a Let's-Encrypt TLS URL automatically. Runs in modern browsers, Apple devices, and radio apps without mixed-content warnings.
Every stream gets a ready-to-use player page with play button, now-playing display, and share buttons (Facebook, X, WhatsApp). Share the link, done.
Define plans, set limits, manage customers. Like Centova Cast, just modern and without the legacy baggage.
When the stream drops (Wi-Fi hiccup, ISP glitch, server restart) the Studio reconnects automatically. Exponential backoff (1s, 2s, 4s, 8s, 16s, 30s max) with configurable initial delay per profile (0 to 60s for DJ handovers).
The server keeps a 10-second buffer between transcoder and listener delivery. On short source dropouts, listener connections don't drop, the player doesn't show "offline". MP3 decoders stay in sync.
On reconnect with known session ID, the server transcoder simply continues. No OGG header reset, no new stream intro, no listener buffer loss. 30s grace window, then regular teardown.
If your DJ software doesn't send titles automatically: type it in the Studio field, hit Enter, title is set. Works with all protocols (Icecast Admin API + Shoutcast admin.cgi). Auto port conversion for Shoutcast v1.
All credentials (URL, mount, password/API key, bitrate, station name, reconnect delay) stored locally. Multiple named profiles: Morning Show, Prime Time, Automation. Last profile auto-loads on app start.
The Studio can stream over https:// / wss://. For corporate networks with blocked non-443 ports or TLS-only hosters. Native TLS via the system cert store.
For DNAS 2 servers hosting multiple streams on one port (SID 1, 2, 3...): configurable SID field in the Studio. Irrelevant for single-stream servers, just leave it empty.
The panel shows the actual bitrate your DJ is currently sending (from Ice-Bitrate/icy-br header). No longer the hardcoded config value. Switch mid-broadcast from 128 to 192, the panel updates instantly.
The Studio writes your Opus stream as a playable .opus file (Ogg container). Listen back without extra software (VLC, ffplay, foobar2000 all handle it directly).
