Title: shoutcast 2.0 vs 2.2 [2.2 is most stable]
Post by: GroovinMind on November 05, 2013, 10:46:15 am: Hey guys.

I was having a discussion with DrO (one of the shoutcast developers) the other day and he explained to me that the most stable version of shotucast DNAS is the 2.2 NOT the 2.0

Does anyone use 2.2 with centovacast? Is centovacast compatible with 2.2?

I would like to use 2.2 since its the most stable and ESPECIALLY since we use B.U.T.T to broadcast. 2.0 has issues with B.U.T.T but it along with many many other features such as auto authhash ++++ more were fixed in 2.2

"Much delayed" - No kidding! :)

Post by: GroovinMind on November 05, 2013, 03:26:43 pm: hah yea tell me about it.

Headshaker please let us know if you experience any bugs. I really need to use 2.2 since all my DJs use BUTT to broadcast and 2.0 does not support BUTT (has some errors which they fixed in 2.2)

Post by: Headshaker on November 06, 2013, 12:55:18 am: As for now everything seems to be fine.

No crashes, buffers, high cpu usage, etc.
Server control fully works.
Tested under MP3 for now.

But until Centova Cast won't update config builders we won't be able to use full features of v2.2 :(

"But until Centova Cast won't update config builders we won't be able to use full features of v2.2 :("

Which features would this be?

My main issue with 2.0 is that B.U.T.T doesnt work with it and thats the software all my djs use to connect to the server. In 2.2 that bug was fixed. So when you say features do you mean NEW features or does that also include bug fixes?

cheers

Post by: miedzius on November 06, 2013, 02:16:05 pm: New version of SHOUTcast V2 it's fantastic. Work perfect, no problems with AuthHash. Only Centova Cast not support this version, few errors in generation of config file. Some functions/options not exist in this version.

Post by: GroovinMind on November 12, 2013, 08:19:23 am: great.

Thanks!.. I sent you a PM.
Title: Re: shoutcast 2.0 vs 2.2 [2.2 is most stable]
Post by: GroovinMind on November 20, 2013, 11:37:22 am: Since I upgraded to 2.2 I have been getting some 480 errors (cant connect to directory) This will be fixed in 2.2.1 but its not avail yet.

So if anyone is having this issue the temp fix is to temporarily set useicy=0 in the config file.

Cheers.

Post by: GroovinMind on November 22, 2013, 08:08:19 am: If I were you I would go to shoutcast forums and post it in the thread so DrO knows.
Title: Re: shoutcast 2.0 vs 2.2 [2.2 is most stable]
Post by: Headshaker on November 26, 2013, 03:00:02 am: That are just warnings which DrO probably knows about. It is just going about the way how config file is generated by CentovaCast.
