I put in a support ticket to have centova update my DNAS (I paid for them to install centovacast).  They replied and said we need to vote on this?

Not sure why this needs to be voted on as its a official release and most stable version of DNAS.  This should be an automatic update via centovacast.

Anyway.. Please vote for this.

voted...  would love to have v2.2.x

I vote 1000 times as i speak for my clients.

So if i understand right this version must be come within centova update and can not be integrated self?

May anyone can share information how to update if possible?

you can update this yourself, yes.

Some of us have limited knowledge or skill with command line. So we want centova to do this on their end.

Is as simple as replacing sc_serv file. You can do this simply using WinSCP as SFTP client
You will get stability but you wont get all new DNAS settings until Centova won't update their  config builder.

I have updated mine to 2.2.1 now.

So Steve, when Control Panel will full support SHOUTcast 2.2.1 ?

up.. this is super important.

Need more than 11 votes to get their attention

2.2.1 Is out and able to be updated to. HOWEVER IT IS NOT STABLE. We are having Problems with them restarting a Few every 5 minutes and a batch of streams every 12 hours. This is not a good thing as you can assume.

And you should read this. Even though this is not fully what our problem is. This is a small part of it

From Centova Cast Support


There seems to be an issue which is caused by improper handling of accented characters (like ú ç ü ã é ó) causing Shoutcast2 to crash. Please note that this is a Shoutcast2 / sc_trans2 issue, so we are not able to fix it because we are not the developers of those two, but we are trying to find a workaround this though.

We got in touch with the lead developer of the SHOUTcast toolset at AOL/Nullsoft about this (and other bugs) a few days ago. He said he has been moved to Winamp development by the management at AOL, and has no idea when he might be given more time to work on the SHOUTcast toolset. He said he'd really like to do so, but management is saying no despite the many known bugs in the current versions of DNAS2/sctrans2.

Most likely the only way to deal with this would be for enough users to start complaining to AOL/Nullsoft, as it's the management at AOL/Nullsoft that need to be convinced to dedicate time to fixing this. Unfortunately Winamp makes them a lot more money than SHOUTcast DNAS, so that's why they're focusing on Winamp development.


In the meantime, we suggest that you avoid using files containing these types of characters in their ID3 tags.


Your clients server has the following problematic file: Diablo 2 - Roger and me.mp3
It's metadata contains some weird characters, like: §£¡ÐËR'§ §¡GHT ÅÑÐ §ØÛÑÐ

As soon as the client removed these characters from the ID3 tags the server did in fact stop restarting.

the problem with accented characters is supposedly fixed in 2.2.1

we did receive some reports of 2.2.1 crashing with no apparent reason and with nothing relevant recorded in the log files. there are also many reporting 2.2.1 to be working great for them, so maybe the problem with the crashes has different roots than the shoutcast software itself

Thats weird. I had more problems using DNAS 2.0 which was crashing without any reason (character were fine) in diferent time periods. Whe I've changed it to 2.2.1 everything seems to be wonderfully fine
