LadioCast SHOUTcast Connection Troubleshooting

Check credentials, server compatibility and Mac networking when LadioCast will not connect.

Check your connection information

Confirm hostname, source port and password. Use the SHOUTcast source details for your digiSTREAM account, not the listening URL. Check whether AutoDJ requires a separate live DJ login.

Confirm protocol compatibility

LadioCast’s developer previously described its SHOUTcast support as using the SHOUTcast v1 source protocol. A SHOUTcast v2 server may accept this legacy mode, but not every source configuration does. If the server requires native v2-only authentication, verify compatibility with digiSTREAM before changing settings.

Test and collect details

1. Try one connection and note the exact error.
2. Check the Mac’s network connectivity and any firewall or VPN.
3. Verify another source encoder is not already occupying the source.
4. Contact digiSTREAM with the port, time and exact error, without sharing the password.
