Query / display listener numbers in the Broadcaster

In the Centova Cast system, you do not get an output of the audience numbers when sending via the DJ port. If you want to query the audience numbers you need the main data of the stream server.

Please take your time and read the navigation point "Information" in the left menu bar of the Centova Cast Interface. Everything you need is listed there!

If it should not work, check it several times and read it several times as needed. The fault here always lies with the user! If in doubt, ask us.

Let us assume the following scenario

IP or hostname: 127.0.0.1 or hostname.streampanel.net
Main port of the stream server: 5000
DJ port of the stream server: 5002
SID: 1 (Only available on SHOUTcast 2 servers and is always 1 on STREAMPANEL)

Normally you connect to the server with a DJ account via a separate port as specified above (5002).

To output the listener numbers now as well, you have to create a "Statistics Relay" in your broadcaster and query the data via the main port 5000 and your source password.

Due to the large number of different broadcasters, the point may be slightly different for you. As a rule, however, it is the same procedure everywhere.

This type of statistics query unfortunately requires that all DJ's / moderators know your administrator password and thus also have full access to your product. How you decide is entirely up to you. We advise you to use the API interface in the customer center. (Customer Center - My Products - Select Streamserver - In the left menu click on Interface (API))
