New! - Centova Cast v2.2 - AJAX ShoutCast/IceCast control panel now available
Centova Cast v2.2 is now available! See below for a list of updates in this new version.
Centova Cast is a professional streaming radio server control panel and hosting management solution, providing complete control over the provisioning and management of your streaming servers.
Automatic playlist generation for WinAmp, Windows Media Player, QuickTime, and RealPlayer
Flexible XML and PHP APIs for integration with third-party billing and provisioning systems.
Cross-browser compatibility.
Support for both ShoutCast and IceCast streaming servers.
Centova Cast is extremely easy to use for both the administrator and clients. It is a complete, standalone control panel, and does not require any other control panel software on the same server (although it will happily coexist with CPanel, Plesk, and others).
This new version of Centova Cast is a major release with far too many features to list. Major new features include:
Brand new, industry-leading stream statistics system
Support for reseller accounts
Royalty reporting support with downloadable spreadsheet reports
Support for account templates to quickly create pre-configured accounts
Added live listener statistics support
Support for simultaneous use of ShoutCast and IceCast streams
Google Maps integration to plot live listener locations
Significant speed improvements to client area (particularly media library)
Support for custom album covers (embedded in ID3 tags, and also folder.jpg/albumartsmall.jpg)
Less significant features include:
Support for limiting general rotation playlists to a specific time of day
Context menu support in media library (right-click on playlists/artists/albums/tracks)
Support for editing artist/album/track titles from context menu in media library
Support for importing M3U playlists
Client E-mail notification upon account creation
Added experimental sc_trans v2.0 support
This release also includes many new features not listed above -- refer to the official release announcement (with screenshots).
How can I import an m3u to Centova? I tried but when I push the Import m3u button in the Centova panel nothing happends. I tried with I.Explorer, Chrome and Firefox and nothing. Our current provider said that they have no answer from Centova about this. In fact contacting Centova is very difficult.
Somebody has discovered the way this can work? They say they allready made the arregments in their server to make it work but it dosent.
Importing an m3u is EXTREMLY important because playlist managger of Centova is very hard to use specially when you have large files in a playlist.
You can try 37 AJAX and CSS Tab-based interfaces which became one of the most interesting techniques for web developers. All of them are easy to understand and customize as your own tabs. Check out the tutorials which would help you create your own Ajax or CSS Tab-based interfaces.
