Title: Use extern streaming product, Centovacast only for Statistics view
Post by: inetactief on November 17, 2015, 04:39:18 am
We want to use SHOUTcast or Icecast product on a external server. We only need the Statistics.

There is now a option to use server yes or no on Advanced, but only SHOUTcast v1 works only Listeners.

No Icecast v2 support or reports.

Hello inetactief,

I assume you are talking about third-party services, where you don't have access to the underlying system running Shoutcast, because otherwise you could just install Centova Cast in daemon mode to have full control and statistics.

If that is in fact the scenario you propose, for Centova Cast to generate statistics, it requires access to the Shoutcast/Icecast raw logs. So, if you have access to the logs, you could simply download them and then re-upload them to your Centova Cast account, then trigger the processlogs task.

Unfortunately, in most situations users don't have access to the raw logs, or the logs have been formatted, in a way that they can no longer be processed by Centova Cast.

Hi Roger,

Thank you for the information. I understand the problem about the log.

I have already to put some log from a remote server in Centovacast. But it do not work!

Do you have any tips? I have very big logs for Icecast and SHOUTcast.

Best regards,
Michel
