Limit Listeners
I'd like to have it where I can set a limit on how many can be tuned in at the same time. The limit would be able to be set by the broadcaster. For example, if I wanted no more than 15 on at the same time. . This would help broadcasters stay under their tlh max for their plan.

Has any additional consideration been made to removing restrictions for listeners hours?
Currently a listener cannot stream a station longer than 24 hours. I realize doing so may increase TLHs, but that should be the station operator’s choice. -

INNERSPHERE Mergedit would be nice to be able to select listening hours to specific users via their ip. rather than put all users on a 2 hour - 6 hour limit. in the same way you can ban a user by ip.

KevinThe DID have this feature BUT, the difference is that when a person went to a "sold out" station, it would encourage them to become a "VIP Listener" which excluded them from not being able to hear sold out broadcasters. We unfortunately do not have anything like this now, no way other than selling spots to make any revenue. That should change..

Justin Harris MergedI am seeing a lot of FacebookBot user agents connected to my stream, from different places, but banning each IP is rather time-consuming. It would be good to be able to ban the entire group based on the platform. Implementing this feature would be much appreciated.

James H Becker MergedIn the Analytics / Real Time area, please filter (?) out the FacbookBots. When displayed, these clutter the broadcaster dashboard and make it very difficult to manage listeners and stats.

K2 MergedGood idea but only 1 problem. Many people are now using VPNs which are being pushed by the big browsers. After you put them on a 2-6 hour limit, they just sign on again with their new IP address :-)

Raymond Barbier MergedWould be nice if we could ban/block a certain user agent I.E. FFmpeg, VLC, etc. I have had issues with FFmpeg users running out my TLS by connecting 24hrs a day and baning ip is only a temp solution they can change ip or may have dynamic ip so rebooting router allows them to reconect.

Ray Barbier MergedWell I am dealing more with a certain user that is using FFmpeg , i feel they are either Ripping the music or streaming it due to them being on 24 hrs a day, done IP blocking constantly only to have them either reboot their router or obtaining a new IP. So adding an area to add Blocking User Agents would be a nice addition. I know its possible since I have seen it in a Opensource project called Azurcast. Really a Good Tool to keep those TLS killers off your station.

Peter Palagonia MergedBlocking FFmpeg would be great! I do not care if I loose listeners if those are blocked. They are on my stream 24/7. They are making streaming useless if they are accruing TSL hours! They are like mice in the house!
Thanks! -
