This is an insult, to all the Centova cast users that refuse to switch!
We've begged our clients, offered amazing deals for years and only a few have even considered moving to another panel. Centova still has a great playlist scheduling system which is what I think keeps it alive.
In Centova's defense about the SSL, Shoutcast was the one the got greedy and started to charge for native SSL, so all the panels had to come up with a solution, a proxy to make SSL work in the browser which at that time was just starting to be forced by Google Chrome and Firefox (any stream on a https page also had to be ssl or it wouldn't play)
Just about a year or so later, Shoutcast went back to free SSL for all.
So now not only was a lot of the work adjusting for the proxys to work with the panels a complete waste of time, to revert that was even more work so I guess that's why it is the way it is today, a mess.
You can add your own SSL cert in the panel but it's a pain it's easier to just use the proxy url
Also I don't think Azuracast has "one" developer, it's open source so lots of people contribute to it

Look how cool the response I received about the lack of news and updates from centovacast:
"
Hello,
Centova Cast is constantly being updated with new improvements and security patches, the latest patch was just released on April 15, which improves SSL multi-domain support for resellers, updates Liquidsoap, and fixes various compatibility issues with new Linux distributions.
You can follow our patch releases at
https://centova.com/forums/index.php?topic=3980.0We are also developing Centova Cast v4, which features a new web interface, however since most of ours customers actually customize Centova Cast's web interface to fit their brands, there is not much demand for a new interface, and so it's a low priority for our development team. This is because Centova Cast's development is driven by customer demand, and so our team mostly prioritizes those features that are most requested by customers.
If you have a feature request, other than just a new look, we'll be happy to forward that to our development team. As for a new interface, you could simply use Centova Cast's powerful templating system and API to tailor your own.
Feel free to contact us again if you have further inquiries.
Regards,
Roger

In short, folks, it's ALL OUR customers at centovacast, no real news or improvements to the interface are going to come anytime soon after all, we customers are not interested in this.
In 2024, responsive is extremely unnecessary, after all, no one who uses Centovacast has a cell phone.
Centova cast was already considered a good panel, however seeing the advances of (azuracast / mediacp) having teams of just 1 developer, it is very clear that Centovacast has stopped in time and has no interest in bringing news.
The SSL's justification is an insult, if they hadn't done this in the slightest, the centova would have already died.
I hope you are sincere in this topic, it is really responsive and news for centovacast is unnecessary so as not to be prioritized in 2024, if so this community is just like centovacast itself, frozen in time
And to avoid seeming "boring", a post from 4 years ago where simple questions were asked:
https://centova.com/forums/index.php?topic=6027.msg16412#msg16412After all, 10 years and the centova casts because as a LOW priority a responsive.
If you look closely,centovacast hasn't had anything new for more than (10 YEARS), and it's clear that it's all our fault, the centovacast customers.
