Can't connect to a stream? Yeah, we've been there. And there's so many potential causes that it's not usually clear what's wrong. We've got good news though - This release adds a couple new features to help broadcasters out when troubleshooting streaming issues. The new Stream Diagnostic Test aims to give you a better clue about what's wrong and some suggestions on how to fix the problem. You can run the diagnostic by clicking "Test Stream" in the "Streams" screen.
Here's a breakdown of what's new:
- Stream Diagnostic Test - In the Streams dialog, you can now test each stream, and Rocket Broadcaster will run a suite a tests to ensure your stream will work correctly. If there are any problems found, Rocket Broadcaster will tell you what they are and some hints on how to fix them, which should hopefully make stream troubleshooting easier.
- PRO Logging - For Pro Edition users, Rocket Broadcaster now logs information about each stream to a log file located in your My Documents/Rocket Broadcaster folder. This is particularly useful for seeing a history of how long each stream stayed connected for, and seeing if there were any disconnections. The logs are rotated every couple of megabytes to ensure they won't consume too much disk space.
- Some minor tweaks to the Radionomy broadcast wizard were made to further improve compatibility with some stations.
