Stream name from DJ is not displayed when broadcasting through AutoDJ

When broadcasting directly to a SHOUTcast or Icecast service the Stream name is displayed on the service page in addition to the Track Title and other information. This Stream Name information is passed to the SHOUTcast or Icecast service only on the initial broadcast connection. You will note that once the encoders connection is active, it is not possible to adjust the Stream Name from your encoder.

AutoDJ broadcasts constantly from the minute it is turned on, which means the initial broadcast connection happens when AutoDJ is enabled, and the Stream Name information is passed at this time also. When a live encoder connects through to the AutoDJ service, it is not possible to relay this information over to the SHOUTcast or Icecast service. For this reason, it is possible only to configure some information such as the Stream Name from the Monut point configuration page.
