I keep having an issue where--for no reason at all--the source will disconnect.  Usually, it's at the end of a song; the song finishes but a new one doesn't start, and I have to restart the server.

This is from the error log around the time it happened:

Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks!

i assume its port 8213 thats being used by something

Looks like you aren't sending any music to the server and it dropped you.

Is there any point in time where (or reason why) Centova would stop queuing music?  All of the playlists are set for 24 hours per day, and it seems like the times when it stops have varied.

Make sure you don't have any blank play-lists enabled.

I never replied again because it seemed to be OK, but it's happening again, which is fairly disappointing.  I don't have any enabled and blank playlists, and it seems to happen at random times.  Just thought I'd bump this in case someone else sees something or has an idea; I'll post an error log next time I see it.

<04/10/11@15:18:39> [yp_tch] yp.shoutcast.com touched!
<04/10/11@15:19:57> [source] no data (30s timeout). disconnecting.
<04/10/11@15:19:58> [main] connecting to yp.shoutcast.com to remove myself [no source]
<04/10/11@15:19:58> [yp_rem] yp.shoutcast.com removed me!

Again, it is disconnecting because no music is being sent.

Why don't you just put in a support ticket with Centova?

Judging by the threads being made about support (or lack thereof), I don't think that would get me anywhere.

That may well be, but I don't think anyone here has knowledge of the inner workings of Centovacast.

Put in a ticket.

Oh, man...just realized another reason why I can't--I'm not the one with the license; it's my co-admin, lol. *bugs him*
