Known Issues
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 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
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
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 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.
