For all my live broadcasts I force my DJs to use a specific title for branding purposes.

Example: LIVE BROADCAST - DJ Name - [Show Name]

Lets say Willyum Streams this morning at 7am. "LIVE BROADCAST - Willyum - [SoulGlow Radio]. He plays for an hour. Now there has been a few hours mixes playing from the server.

Now its 12pm and James connects to stream live. "LIVE BROADCAST - Dirty Funk Squad - [Inner Visions]


Here is the issue. When James connects it shows Willyums title at first for a second and then it shows the correct title. See image below.

The titles are being cut off when using the now playing script on my website. My current song name should be the following

LIVE BROADCAST - DJ Biopic - [Mind Deep Confusion]

But when I use the centovacast play now script on my website it shows up like the following

LIVE BROADCAST - Mind Deep Confusion]

Centova Cast does it's best to strip undesirable characters from song titles/artist names/albums, but if you would like it to stop doing so, setting POSTPROCESS_TRACK_INFO=false in /usr/local/centovacast/etc/centovacast.conf will turn it off.

Hi Alexiu.... when I look at my  /usr/local/centovacast/etc/centovacast.conf file, the setting  POSTPROCESS_TRACK_INFO= is not in it. Do I just add it?

sure. just add POSTPROCESS_TRACK_INFO=false  at the end of the file and restart Centova Cast after that:
/etc/init.d/centovacast restart

ok so that explains #2

what about #1?
