This file will include the majority of the known issues we're aware of with AzuraCast and that are in the stages of
|
|
|
|
review / investigation / fixing. We don't provide a date on the fixes but rest assured we're aware of them.

## Metadata Updates with Live DJs
|

When a live streamer/DJ connects to your stream, only the first metadata _update_ is received, rather than the initial
|
|
|
|
metadata when the client connects. This is often reported as AzuraCast "missing" the first song that a DJ broadcasts.
|
|
|
|
This is an [upstream issue](https://github.com/savonet/liquidsoap/issues/2109) with Liquidsoap that we are continuing to
|
|
|
|
follow. The easy workaround for most users is to connect while playing a very short track (such as an intro or station
|
|
|
|
ID), then immediately transition to another song after connecting, which triggers a second metadata update and fixes the
|
|
|
|
issue.

## WebDJ Audio Quality Issues
|
2022-02-21 20:15:03 +01:00
|
|
|
|
2022-12-21 01:34:42 +01:00
|
|
|
The WebDJ feature, on some browsers and in some situations, can broadcast sound that seems "crackly" and intermittent to
|
|
|
|
stream listeners. This is a known issue, but the cause of it is currently
|
|
|
|
unknown. [#5116](https://github.com/AzuraCast/AzuraCast/issues/5116)

2022-12-21 01:34:42 +01:00
|
|
|
The upstream Webstreamer software that we use has been updated and may possibly resolve this, but incorporating it will
|
|
|
|
require significant development effort on our end.

## Can't Skip Songs After DJ Disconnects

|
|
Many users have requested the ability for Liquidsoap to skip to the next song automatically after a DJ disconnects.
|
|
|
|
This is also an [upstream issue](https://github.com/savonet/liquidsoap/issues/2107) with Liquidsoap that we are
|
|
|
|
continuing to follow.

## Playlist Scheduling Problems

|
|
|
Users intermittently report problems with our AutoDJ scheduler not working correctly. These issues are often very
|
|
|
|
difficult for us to diagnose, even with the appropriate logs, as they are intermittent and hard to reproduce on other
|
|
|
|
installations. If you're a developer and you're interested in helping us with this, please let us know.

|
|
|
One known issue is that "Scheduled" type playlists always take priority over "General Rotation" playlists, which only
|
|
|
|
play when _no_ scheduled playlist is available to play. This is the intended functionality of AzuraCast, but some users
|
|
|
|
prefer non-exclusive schedule entries. The current workaround to this is to make scheduled copies of the General
|
|
|
|
Rotation playlists (even possibly scheduling them for all-day blocks), but we are looking into better solutions for
|
|
|
|
this.

## Ansible Issues

Our Ansible installation is no longer officially supported with our team's developer resources. Ansible installations
|
|
|
|
represent less than 5% of our total installed user base, and contribute much more to our support burden than that. If
|
|
|
|
you're experiencing Ansible issues, we would gladly review and accept any pull requests to help resolve it, but we will
|
|
|
|
not be devoting our own resources toward these issues.
