Shoutcast Song titles

[MrBmx]

Hello,

This is my first post on this forum so please don't tear me a new one, i tried searching first for an answer and couldn't find anything so hopefully someone can help me

i am using OtsAv Dj Pro 1.85.001 and i am using it as a playout to my shoutcast server. everything is working great and it all sounds so much better than when i was using winamp!

the only problem is when i start a stream the song titles will not show on the stream what whats now playing, it seems to just pick a random song from my media library and for the entire stream show that song as the one that's playing while it plays through the playlist... not a big deal but its annoying, any suggestions?


Thank you in advance!

Welcome Brian
I am no expert on using shoutcast but I am sure others here will be able to help.
One thing though you should get the latest version from Ots zone the latest version is 1.85.076

There is somethng you might want to consider - do a search in this forum for Blinkstream - you need to enable the RAC server built-in to Ots for it to work at all - send the outgoing signal to your server and port, activate it, and you're broadcasting your metadata.

In its raw state, it just says <artist> -<title> - but you can manually type additional information, such as the name of the programme.
