Centos6 64Bit

All playlist.pls on shoutcast v2 fine, however facing issue on flash or html based players

also notice error in log

INFO [MICROSERVER] Flash policy file server not enabled

Is it due this?

SHoutcast v2 Liquidsoap & sc_trans v2 AutoDj & Liveboradcasting
http://IP:Port/stream

Work great when we run from playlist.pls (VLC Winamp iTunes Windows Media Player Real Player QuickTime)

But centovacast default players or any other players html5 jPlayer its lagging/buffering i have to click many time on "stop" "play" to work it properly but this kind a trick not going to like by listeners

(have only just seen the PM you sent). it's most likely something about that version of the DNAS in relation to the rate limiting features that were added to it (which is the most likely thing I can think off that can cause those issues).

The best thing to do is to try to set ratelimit=0 in the DNAS's configuration file and see if that helps.

lagging buffering, shoutcast v2 , liquidsoap

Same problem here anyone know the solution?

This error is harmless, so don't even worry about it. Please take a look at this other topic, where the same buffering issue is discussed:
