What Should I Check After Restarting My SHOUTcast Station?

A quick checklist for verifying a digiSTREAM station after a restart, AutoDJ restart, encoder restart, or temporary outage.

Check Station Status

Verify that the station is online and that the expected source is connected. If AutoDJ is used, confirm that AutoDJ has started successfully.

Check for Audio

Do not stop at an online status. Confirm that an actual track or live program is being transmitted and that a listener can hear it.

Check Song Titles

If your station uses metadata, verify that the current artist and title are updating. See Song Titles Are not Showing if they are missing.

Check the Live/AutoDJ Source

Make sure the correct source is active. A live DJ and AutoDJ should not compete for the same stream.

Test From More Than One Connection

If possible, verify the stream from another device or Internet connection. This helps distinguish a station problem from a single listener’s network problem.

If Audio Is Still Missing

Use My Station Is Online but Nobody Can Hear It or the appropriate AutoDJ or DJ-software troubleshooting article.
