Server Controls

Server Controls

Centova Cast's server control options provide access to the core feature of Centova Cast -- the management of your streaming server software.

The server controls are provided under the Server heading in the navigation menu, and are explained in the following sections.

Start Server

Displayed only if your server is currently in the Offline state, this link will start your streaming server.

If autoDJ support is enabled for your stream, the autoDJ will also be started.

Stop Server

Displayed only if your server is currently in the Online state, this link will shut down your streaming server, disconnecting all listeners and preventing any further listeners from tuning in.

If autoDJ support is enabled for your stream, the autoDJ will also be stopped.

Reload

Displayed only if your server is currently in the Online state, this link will reload your streaming server's configuration without disrupting any listeners.

If autoDJ support is enabled for your stream, the autoDJ's configuration will also be loaded.

Note that not all configuration changes can be applied with the Reload feature; in some cases it may be necessary to fully stop and then restart your server to apply certain changes.

Admin

Displayed only if your server is currently in the Online state, this link opens the administrative interface for your streaming server.

Note that when you click this link, you are actually leaving Centova Cast and interacting directly with your streaming server software. If you require further assistance, consult the documentation for your streaming server for information about its administrative interface.
