What is SPCast?
SPCast runs your internet radio station. Learn how AutoDJ, broadcaster accounts, public listening URLs and product management work together.
SPCast is an internet radio platform developed by STREAMPANEL with its own server engine. Product management lets you set up broadcasting and find connection details for your software as well as public URLs for listeners.
AutoDJ and live broadcasting
AutoDJ plays prepared MP3 files using your playlists and schedules. AutoDJ accepts MP3 only. For live shows, connect an encoder using the intended broadcaster account. Live broadcasting also supports AAC, M4A, OGG and FLAC; both sender and player must be able to process the actual format.
The automation guide explains preparation and testing a live takeover. Listeners use public stream URLs, not broadcaster credentials.
Compatibility and versions
Support for SHOUTcast and Icecast protocols is separate from running their original server software. Check your broadcasting software’s fields and the documented limitations.
The changelog records changes to outputs and source switching. For example, version .096 changed transcoder outputs. Check the installed version rather than inferring the audio format from a path name.
