Connect Centova Cast — automatic SHOUTcast & Icecast streams

Centova Cast creates streams from account templates. The website calls Centova's API (system.provision) with the template linked to the plan, so a new SHOUTcast or Icecast station is online seconds after payment.

Step 1 — Prepare Centova Cast

1. Log in as the Centova Cast administrator.
2. Open Account Templates and create one template per plan (for example radio-starter, radio-studio) with listeners, bitrate, disk quota and AutoDJ settings.
3. Make sure the web interface port (usually 2199, or 2198 for HTTPS) is reachable from your website.

Step 2 — Add the server

1. Servers › Add Centova Cast.
2. Hostname of the Centova server, Port 2199 (HTTPS off) or 2198 (HTTPS on).
3. Admin username: admin; Admin password: your Centova admin password.
4. Save and click Test connection.

Step 3 — Create plans

Click Import packages. If your Centova version lists templates through the API they appear automatically; otherwise type the template names exactly as in Centova (one per line). Choose Radio Streaming, then set prices in Hosting Plans.

Optional: in the plan's Radio / advanced options set max listeners, bitrate, disk quota, server type (SHOUTcast 2 / Icecast) and AutoDJ — these override the template.

Actions available

• Suspend / unsuspend — Centova system.setstatus (disabled / enabled); the stream goes offline while suspended.
• Upgrade / downgrade — system.reconfigure with the new template.
• Terminate — system.terminate deletes the stream and its files.
