Console

What Studio actually did, in order, in its own words.

Coming soon

MAWCast Studio is not released yet. This page describes how it will work; until then, connect your own encoder (see Connect your software).

Last updated October 20261 min read

The Stream console on the Studio tab prints connections, encoder events, capture problems and recordings as they happen. It keeps the last 80 lines and starts empty at every GO LIVE.

A normal connection

text
Connecting to eu1.mawcast.com:8000 ...
Connection established

Settings:
Type:        IceCast
Codec:       mp3
Bitrate:     320kbps
Samplerate:  44100Hz
Mountpoint:  myradio
User:        source
SSL/TLS:     no

Those lines are worth reading once every time something is odd: they are what Studio used, not what you meant to set. For a SHOUTcast server the block shows the SID instead of the mountpoint.

Copy the console before asking for help

The lines around a failure say more than a description of it. They are the difference between a support reply that guesses and one that answers. Passwords never appear in it.
