New! - Centova Cast v1.1.0 - ShoutCast/IceCast control panel now available

Centova Cast v1.1.0 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.

Its features include:

• Support for both ShoutCast and IceCast streaming servers.
• AJAX drag-and-drop, ID3-capable playlist editor and media library manager
• Server-based streaming source support using Ices or sc_trans.
• Feature-rich web-based administrative interface for provisioning and managing streaming servers.
• Complete web-based client control panel for starting/stopping and configuring streaming servers.
• Data transfer and listener statistics, complete with graphs.
• Configurable bit rate, listener, disk quota, and data transfer limits for each client account.
• Automated, built-in stream monitoring system to minimize downtime.
• FTP server integration (ProFTPd or Pure-FTPd) for streaming media (MP3) uploads.
• Billing system integration for ModernGigabyte's ModernBill (v4/v5) and iHostDev's iHost billing software.
• 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.

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).

• Added AJAX drag-and-drop playlist editor
• Added ID3 tag support for playlist editor
• Added ModernBill v5 integration module
• Added PHP 5 and MySQL 5 support

Centova Cast - ShoutCast Control Panel

This is one impressive solution and great looking application.

I am not sure whether I missed this on your site, but does it have a feature of producind and managing on-demand podcasts, or does it only provide streaming solution for online radio?

Best,

Sorry for the delay -- the HD forums don't appear to be sending me E-mail notifications despite being subscribed to this thread, so I didn't notice your reply until just now!

Regarding your question, Centova Cast is a control panel for ShoutCast/IceCast streaming servers, and since neither ShoutCast nor IceCast include podcast management functionality, Centova Cast doesn't either (at least, not at this time). We're always interested in new feature requests, though, so if you had something in mind in terms of how this could tie in to Centova Cast, please do feel free to E-mail us and we'll see what we can do.

Thanks!
