Playing now not working

Post by PD1LG »

I have two computer, one for the studio. With proppfrexx and music. And one for the stream. My problem is that playing now is not working. The studio PC goes to the mixing panel and the output of the console to the PC for streaming.

Can you explain a bit more in detail what you mean by "playing now"?
a) Do you mean updating the streaming server's meta data (generally know as a Song Updates) - even if you do not use ProppFrexx for streaming?
Do You mean updating a web-site with some song info's?

If a):
Note, that you can still configure a Streaming-Server within ProppFrexx (but do not Connect it!)
Make sure to enable the following setting:
Force Update (Force Song Title Update)
If enabled, it updates the song title of the server with the currently playing track, even if the server is not connected.
This setting might be useful, if you want to use an external streaming client/encoder, but only want to update the song title from this instance.
Note: If you do not use this instance for online streaming make sure that you provide the admin username/password above, as some streaming servers require the admin password for offline title updates.

if b): See here:

As said above:

You have NOT set the fields Admin username and password !
Please set them accordingly...and try again.
