For some time now, few of our customers and visitors kept asking how our billing works. They’re asking if we are capable of adding funds. And even transferring funds from one account to another, in case they have multiple accounts with us.

We heed to their request and so we are now adding new features.

Here are the steps in Adding and Transferring funds:

Adding of Funds

  1. Log in to your account.
  2. After that, click My Wallet.
    • In image_exhibit 1 shown below, you can see a list of all transactions where your “My Wallet” has been used. Either in purchasing products, funding or transferring funds to another account.
  3. To continue with adding funds, navigate to the “Add Funds” menu.
  4. Enter the amount of money to fund your account. (Minimum funding is $10 and Maximum funding is $200)
  5. Then, click Add after.
    • You will now be redirected to the Checkout page. From there, just fill the required fields and then place your order.
  6. Once payment has been made, the funds will now be reflected in your account. As shown in the wallet icon, in the top right header menu.

 

Transferring of funds to another account

  1. Click the Wallet transfer icon
  2. There are 3 fields to be completed
    • The email address of the recipient – Make sure that the email address has been registered already otherwise, no results will be found in the search field.
    • The Amount – The amount that will be debited from your account. Minimum fund transfer is $10.
    • The optional message – It’s an optional message explaining the purpose of the fund transfer.

Both parties will received email notification of the transaction. And will be recorded for keep sake purposes.

But the good news about this feature…

How to setup CORS Proxy Server to stream secured Shoutcast streaming link

How to setup CORS Proxy Server to stream secured Shoutcast streaming link

[wpseo_breadcrumb]

What is CORS PROXY and why is it relevant for your live streaming radio?

According from this website,

A CORS proxy is a service that allows developers (probably you) to access resources from other websites, without having to own that website.

How is it relevant to your streaming server?

Well, if you have a web player and want to stream securely, meaning your website server has SSL certificate. Then, you are streaming with https url instead of the regular http. Unfortunately, Shoutcast won’t stream properly if using with HTTPS. This means, there’s a possibility that only the audio, streams correctly while the album artwork or even the title name doesn’t display at all.

So here’s where the CORS PROXY server takes an important role. Developers of your web players will create this proxy server and will bind it with your ShoutCast streaming url in order to stream securely…

So if you want a secured streaming URL with the correct informations showing up, I would suggest that you have to set up one. Like this website, audiogasmradio.com. He just bought a web player from our company.

Some developers are offering in setting up for you for a fee ranging from $35-$60. But if you want to try it yourself, below is a great tutorial from YouTube on how to do it. I also offer to set it up for you, if you are not confident enough in playing around the SSH terminal.

Shoutcast directory listing is not free anymore but we provide it for you!

Recently, Shoutcast directory listing is not free anymore. From the past, creating an authhash was quite simple. But if you try it now, you will be redirected to SHOUTcast website instead of Radionomy (RMO). They will be offering you paid services to list your radio station in the shoutcast directory. 

 

Radionomy bought Shoutcast

 

This recent development is due to the fact that Radionomy, a Belgian company bought Shoutcast and Winamp sometime in 2014. But their decision to make the directory listing private for paid users only is probably just this year. As long as you have a plan from them, your Azuracast radio station can advertise to YP Directories (Public Station), better known as the Shoutcast directory listing.

 

Internet Radio Cast on VPS provides the Shoutcast directory listing for you

 

Alternatively, Internet Radio Cast on VPS can advertise multiple radio stations but for our VIP Reseller packages only. When buying a Custom reseller plan, optionally choose yes on the radio button option. And you can now avail the listing for just $15 month. You will have 5-7 stations with a valid authhash for your SHOUTcast directory listing for each station. You can actually save around $50+ per month for listing individual stations!
