Hi... it had never had problems to broadcast, but, ever since they fixed the problem of "Invalid Password Error", now this message appears to me

I can't broadcast now

...Please help me, before the fix, i can't login again

Andrew · 2005-10-15 12:15:27

Hi Mosco DJ,
Thanks for brining this to my attention.
I'm going to look in to this now, apparently I've missed something..

Andrew · 2005-10-15 12:46:11

Can I just check, you definitly receive the "Invalid Password" error. Not something else?

Andrew · 2005-10-15 13:36:02

It looks like there was some difficulty with the server, it had temporarily gone down, it is back up now though.
I'm going to keep a close eye on things and make sure passwords are changed as they should be, so far things are looking ok

Tragamin · 2005-10-15 23:23:38

Just booked two slots (00-02 am) and cant connect because of the same problem. Is it just me or the server is down again?

Andrew · 2005-10-16 09:06:43

Ah!
I had made a silly mistake that I've just fixed.
Sorry about that, everything SHOULD be working now..

Mosco_DJ · 2005-10-16 09:10:05

Ah, forgets to comment that the error occurred when I wanted to book 2 continuous hours. The only way i found to can connect, is using one hour that already began (when it does not spend credits).

...But I lose 1 hour of transmission.

Invalid password error again...

Andrew · 2005-10-16 14:10:29

Argh! And I thought i'd fixed it..
Really sorry about this, I'm looking in to it now

Andrew · 2005-10-16 14:17:57

A-hah!
Originally I thought it was to do with moving from beta.freecast.co.uk to freecast.co.uk, and it kind of was..
But there was ANOTHER error that meant only some passwords would be set and others would not.

I have now fixed it, thoroughly checked and re-checked the code .. if there's another error .. well, I will be suprised

:crosses fingers:

Thanks for all the reports everyone!

Tragamin · 2005-10-16 15:08:57

Well be surprised, then
Tried to book just one hour (16-17) and I get the same 'Invalid Password' error.

Did anyone else besides Andrew test it? Is it my problem?

Andrew · 2005-10-16 15:35:04

Well I'm looking, and this slot has the same password set on both the shoutcast server and at freecast.co.uk, there appears to be no error.

Could you please e-mail me (andrew.rse@gmail.com) the password you were given?

I have booked the next slot .. to make sure it works

Tragamin · 2005-10-16 15:44:45

Sorry, I unbooked the slot to keep my credits (didn't unbook yesterday on my other account so I lost my credits for today..) and lost the password =/ Anyway, I'll book from 5 - 6 pm and try again, if it doesn't work I'll e-mail you the password.

Andrew · 2005-10-16 15:47:02

But how could you unbook a slot in the present?

Tragamin · 2005-10-16 15:55:34

I did it by clicking on my slot in the booking sheet and then on "unbook this slot". Shouldn't I be able to do that?

Andrew · 2005-10-16 15:59:36

Interesting, no it should only be possible for times in the future.

I'll investigate now, my slot is about the become the present

Andrew · 2005-10-16 16:02:01

Right, I can't unbook it.
I don't think it's possible that the script would be screwing up and allowing certain people to unbook.

Also, the password did change as expected (the server time seems to be out by about 60 seconds, though).

You definitly clicked a blue slot?

Tragamin · 2005-10-16 16:06:06

Yeah, I'm pretty sure I did that, because I tried connecting first... Well, I'll wait for my slot and try again then

Andrew · 2005-10-16 16:14:22

Very odd, if the script is messed up it should consistently mess up for all users (as there's no users levels or anything that the script recognises).

Oh well, it's worked fine for me. I guess we'll have to wait and see..

Tragamin · 2005-10-16 16:25:07

Can't wait to broadcast, heh Btw, how many listeners can the server handle without losing quality?

Andrew · 2005-10-16 16:27:58

I don't know about loosing quality, but our limit is 50 at 56kbps.
We have a proper, professional shoutcast host (WaveStreaming.com plug plug plug ) so I would assume a limit of 50 means it can handle 50.
Although, we have not tested this .. I'm just assuming.

Tragamin · 2005-10-16 17:58:12

Well, after some testing the feedback I got from my listeners was great about the quality, but it seems there is a big delay between them, making interactivity (such as quizes and other games I usually make for my broadcasts) a bit poor. Other than that, it's perfect Congrats

Mosco_DJ · 2005-10-16 23:23:15

I Think the Delay it's totally normal, because the server receive the stream, and it distributes to the listeners, this take a little time. I can measure the delay, and it's about 24-30 seconds, anyway is very fast.

About "invalid password", I test in Friday, not time and listeners for the moment.

Thx!

Edited by my badly English, Sorry
