Conclusion, Version 3, impossible to use.

Read 15171 times
After several tests, we conclude that it is impossible to use the version 3.
 A panel cute, and easy upload to own panel, are the only good news.
 A good improvement because of the automatic installation, but still has errors in the installation of some items, such as package Icecast.
 But do not inlude dear friend, because these are the innovations and improvements.
 Moreover, nothing works perfectly.
 It is now awaiting a correction for retesting, as it stands, is impossible to continue.
 We want the function of scheduling is able to work with sc_trans2, and a tool that is capable of doing the programming of the audios to folders, according to the characteristic "of each song, previously registered by following a few parameters, and thus, this tool According to the parameters selected, do the assembly programming for the folders of playlists, without having to drag the audios for each folder created. How about that?
 Please answer this post and to join me in this campaigning.

I think it has a lot to do with the way you are installing -- I tried with pre-installed software, cpanel, all had problems. My last installation was using a clean VPS with only Centos 5 -- no Apache, no Proftp -- nothing -- I followed the installation instructions for a full install and have not had any major problems -- my scheduling works fine, I did find a few problems I was able to correct, or bypass.

- when syncing the library, sometimes it would display a mysql error, about the last.fm album cover option. this would also cause the server to stop responding, I had to restart Centova. I disabled last.fm and the problem seems to be gone
- I have not been able to get the flash players to work at all -- although they did in one of my earlier installations
- the SHOUTcast dnas for v1 -- the url is stuck on www.icecast.com -- also the station is not listed in the SHOUTcast directory at all  
- active listeners does not work (unless I run /etc/init.d/centovacast reload -- reloads)
- ftp server seems to go down often, server reboot is the only solution


These are all very minor issues and I'm sure they will be addressed. I really don't think Centova has spent 2 years developing this just to give up, and the best part is, updates are very easy to install.
Although I am only running a single account right now, the load on the server is clearly much lower than Centova Cast v2 -- this may be because of the fact I am not running cPanel/WHM.

I am days away from offering v3 for sale to my clients -- the built in Flash players eat up system resources and bandwidth anyway.

I think a lot of the problems are not problems at all, just the fact we do not yet have any docs on V3 yet -- I think many of the answers are in the Centova configs -- several in the folder /usr/local/centovacast/etc

I have had my demo station http://2k22day.com running on the new V3 for a few days with no issues

Hey My Auto DJ

My manual ftp upload won't work on my centovacast v3 beta at all

so i just need some help to fix it please

thanks
Yes, I see this morning my ftp was not running -- a serve reboot solved that but it should not go down like that, so I guess I'll add that to my list above.
Does your web based upload work?

Hey My Auto DJ

so should i do a server reboot to fix it then

let me know please

thanks
A server reboot may get it working but it should not go down so there's something else wrong, it's not just you that is having a problem, most likely we will just need to wait for a update or answer.

Hey My Auto DJ

yes my web based upload works 100% fine

but how can i add more space to my web based upload

let me know please

thanks
Dear My Self DJ, I'm not using the installation on a clean server. The server has a Plesk panel, and a previous version of Centova, running, but I'm willing to hire a new server with a clean installation of CentOS, if you assure me that their work schedules with sc_trans v2 (with date and time) this is my focus. You confirm that this is correct?
 Answer me please so I can not lose hope in this version.
Man please, I didn't develop this don't take out your non-working installation on me, I was just trying to help, forget it -- if you want a guarantee buy Allstate

Dear friend, forgive me if I'm being misunderstood, I dont want you to take responsibility if something goes wrong, I just want you to tell me if sc_transv2 worked with schedules, in their tests.
 I need to make sure that the new V3 version, has this feature enabled.
 And if indeed there is any flaw in the way of my installation.
For all of you that mentioned cc-ftpd going down, please check your logs and see if they say anything.  cc-ftpd is little more than a lightly modified version of Pure-FTPd which is a rock-solid and very well-known FTP server (the same one used by default with CPanel).  There should be no reason for it to go down at all, let alone on a regular basis.
