SHOUTcast Authhash Management Support

[DJ Egg]

Authhash updated :-)

[Busby]

Can anyone help please..

I have 3 Shoutcast 2 streams running: SHOUTcast Server v2.5.1.724/win32

I have a registered authhash, the same for all 3 streams but only 1 shows on shoutcast.com directory.

In the admin panel of all 3 streams it says 'Please Register Your Authhash'

I have gone through the update process and saved it and confirmed it's registered.

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong please.

Shoutcast 1 was so much easier than this..

each stream that has a unique source/bitrate should have a unique authhash. so you should register an authhash for each dnas stream.

each authhash indicates a directory entry.

Hi Support Team,

We have a unique issue. We are one of the stations that started out with the Radionomy Pro back in 2012. We have our own servers (subscribers) (running 1.9.8 of Shoutcast), but we also push these streams to Radionomy for public listeners. As of September, we understand that the legacy version of SHOUTcast is no longer supported to be added into the directory. I'm fine with that, but there is no links or anything to get the new version of SHOUTcast that I could find anywhere, and we run FreeBSD on all of our servers, which creates a unique problem for us, since I'm not sure anyone has continued with compiling for FreeBSD. It shouldn't have been a big deal to continue to support FreeBSD, IMO, just that it would have required an extra build. We cannot convert our servers to Linux or Windows. They must remain FreeBSD. I might be able to run SHOUTcast in linux compatiblity mode, but i'd really prefer having a native version, like we had before with v1.9.8.

So, also, because of all of this switchover, we don't have an authhash code, since we can't register one through the site since we're already created in the eyes on Radionomy. I'm hoping someone can help us work this out.

Thanks for any information you can provide either here or by Private Message.

Thanks!

I'm having problems with one of my streams - its no longer transitions to adverts - and I believe its related to the AuthHash - I used one of my other AuthHash streams as a test and it worked - any ideas how to reset this so it transitions to adverts again please?

Hi,

try today again with your regular/old Authhash. Seems it works again since yesterday ~7:00pm.
Maybe it was a little technical issue for some stations.

Hi Everyone,

It's been awhile. Does support monitor these forums? Is there a better support outlet to get my questions answered regarding my post on the 26th of October? I haven't heard from anyone either publically in this thread or in a PM.

[Busby]

One of the problems is that most of the support is provided by other users as Shoutcast is a free product.

Another problem is where V1 was stable with a long history of being trustworthy on many platforms. Sady, this has not been the case with V2.

When you have a buggy programme with different problems on each platform, it's impossible to keep on top of.

[psycographics]

After multiple attempts I give up, it is impossible for the RMO to count the listeners and statistics, having everything right, if someone can help me, the Auth are correct both on the server and in the rmo, the flows are also well placed ( I have documented this forum before requesting help) it simply does not work. Instead I use radio toolbox and see all the activity of the server.

Can someone please help?

[EncoRadio]

I moved my stream to another host however the Shoutcast YP won't update. Both streams have been assigned Station ID: 1703905 by Authhash. All details including stream URL are correct in RMO too.

Station: Enco Radio UK

[fbcradio]

I have logged in and attempted to create an authhash by clicking on the Shoutcast(DNAS) link. I fill out the information to create a new station and I get the error: "An error occurred while saving your radio station." My streaming host, Viastreaming, is running the Shoutcast server.

I have tried doing this with several browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer) on a Windows 10 machine.

Chome Version 63.0.3239.132
Firefox 57.0.4
Internet Explorer 11.192

How does one get the authhash to actually be created?

Anthony

So I upgraded to DNAS (10/10/2017 - Build 733) and I went through the RMO process for my streams. My auth's are all checking out ok yet I constantly get "Please Register Your Authhash" on my streams and can't figure out what the fix is. Some responses are saying it's been fixed, but not here.

"My stream URL" on the RMO settings page, should I use http://listen.shoutcast.com/my-broadcast-here or my actual shoutcast server url http://my.doman.net/admin.cgi?sid=1 ?

[gulbis37]

I still enjoy -Please,register your authhash-my authhash is ok,no idea,why I still got this warning..

[toptalent]

I own three radio stations that are all shoutcast and monetized. The only station that is still waiting an AuThhash is the Master's Mix. I submitted a request for that back in January of this year but have yet to receive an Authhash. How much longer do I have to wait as it's already been 3 months since I first requested an Authhash!!!

Do you actually make any money from this?

[sactownradio]

How do I create a new AuthHash - looks like one was created for me by shoutcast support, but now when I update my server settings from ACC to MP3 320kbps, it won't change over and still shows me broadcasting @ 128kbps HE-ACC. I think I need a new AuthHash to be generated with my settings updated now? Can't see how to do that?

Update the url to my.doman.net/stream/1/ instead. Then when you use the listen url it should play audio.

Had some experience with this.

Select mount point and just edit manually then hit save. It will update Flux.

[MegaRock]

Just gonna throw this out there but without any clear reason I've had the same authhash kick out two separate station ID's which confused the YP and never seem to clear out. My one big server was getting one ID and all the others a separate and would not properly relay and list with each other.

In the end only solution was creating a brand new station listing, a new authhash then used the same identical config file across all servers only altering port number and listener limits. Eliminated pretty much every issue I had including authhash and listing errors. It's a last resort solution but every time I have had YP issues I started over and duplicated the config file settings across the board. Inconsistency makes the YP mad.

Great site!

I love the 'On Air 2' theme, but had to ditch it after 6 months of trying to get the developer to fix the broken monthly schedule - a real shame.

In the process of recreating it all again now in Joomla.

Cool story bro. Let us know when you back on topic.

[Kittyfuzz]

There are too many digits to enter. how do I fit them on my stream server?

[wlausm]

Whenever i generate an Authhash it is too long and can not be saved whenever i try to enter it.

Yep too many Digits
Why is this so difficult to do?

[aperossonores]

Hello Everybody,
I have a big issue, when generating AuthHas from RMO --> This is working fine
BUT
When i try to enter the AuthHas on my shoutcast manager, the AuthHas seems too long and can't enter very well on the field, and the "validate" button still in grey....
Anyone faced this issue ? (shoutcast server v2.5.5)
Thanks !
Arthur

Yes same isuse. The hash generated is for shoutcast server v2.6.

As usual, no warning or notification from shoutcast. If I didn’t come here I would have never knew.

Oh okey i didn't have any information that hash is generated for shoutcast v2.6.
I'm in a big issue today with that because I already pay for a shoutcast server in Wanastream offer, and I think they only offer shoutcast server v2.5.5..... No upgrad possible.
What we can do in this case ?

Only thing would be to email them. support@shoutcast. But no response. They really really suck. For now I’m using another streaming server called Cast without ads until I’m able to build up my audience again.

[bjjocsdradio]

I'm having the same issue with the authash being too long. C'mon SHOUTcast.. why change the specifics on the authash just to upgrade DNA's to 2.6? Most servers we have bought are not running on newer software, which means hundreds of servers are being left off the YP due to them changing something so minuscule. Get it together already, we are paying our hard earned money to have people hear our stations through your YP.

[TPS107]

I recently updated my station and moved to VPS. I used my authhash from my station setup and I get the error Invalid authhash. The only thing that changed is ny IP. I used the the authhash in my Shoutcast account and edited the sc_serv.conf on my server and it did'nt work. server verion: SHOUTcast Server v2.5.5.733/posix(linux x64).

[TPS107]

http://yp.shoutcast.com/ui_createauthhash. I need a dev id to make this work.

[Jannes01]

Is there still no way to make the authhash work with SHOUTcast Server v2.5.5.733 ?
Its way to long...

[ram130]

Nope. They don’t care lol.

[Jannes01]

Got an answer from support:

As the authhash is only compatible with a DNAS v2.6, it's not possible anymore to register an old authhash for previous versions.
Currently, 3rd-party stream providers may not provide broadcasters with that version of the DNAS due to licensing issues.
An alternative is to host your stream on the Shoutcast hosting platform "Shoutcast for Business".

Ok so they just want to earn money

[ram130]

Pretty much. They ain’t reply to my email about it since a month ago. So consider yourself lucky. And I was on their business platform. I love how they got a reason why it’s no longer allowed but didn’t inform no one about it. The lack of communication skills with this company is sad.

[ilja1985]

As a happy user of the newest SHOUTcast server v2.6.0.750 DNAS it only works with mp3.

You don't even help the user with Premium Akkanunt for independent hosting. Since 2 weeks I try to get the license for AAC/AAC+ running. Sometimes the authorization works over YP sometimes there is simply timeot without any reason and change of the configuration.

As an answer I got from Support : Did you enter the correct userid and licenseid ?
Might laugh a lot if it wasn't sad.

The error message alone points to a completely different problem
