Presenting on live radio can be challenging, but with a few handy tips & tricks - you'll be off to a great start!
For a while, users have not been able to generate authhash's for their stream, as the format of these changed and Shoutcast themselves had no plans to resurrect the usage of the old style. Streamerr decided to not update our Shoutcast version due to multiple freely available features being removed by Shoutcast themselves. Thankfully, these limitations have now been removed and we feel the time is right to update our servers to Shoutcast 2.6.1 - this means you are able to create an authhash and get listed on the directory again!
Firstly, head over to shoutcast.com and register/login to your account: https://www.shoutcast.com/
Once you're logged into your dashboard, you'll see a plus icon that allows you the option to create a new radio station.
Follow the step by step guide and populate your station information as much as possible.
Once your station has been created, head to Settings -> Advanced. You'll see your newly generated authhash here. This is the code that we need to link your hosting server to your newly created station at Shoutcast.com. Make a note of your authhash, then navigate to your Shoutcast DNAS admin page.
Login to your Shoutcast DNAS admin page with the username 'admin' plus the administrator password for your account. You can then allocate an authhash to each mountpoint.
After a little while, your station should begin showing on the Shoutcast.com directory and you'll also be able to see other handy station analytics/statistics in the Shoutcast.com dashboard.
You can make changes to your station directly at Shoutcast.com in the future.
