upvoting this one. i have no idea what the backend is but if centova based, exposing some basic management tools would be huge. i can kick but if on an autosetting it's all timing and hope. :)

Definitely upvoting this! I just had it happen to me overnight, ended up calling that DJ to get them to disconnect

From time to time and for whatever reason it is necessary to change the password to the encoders. This should be a given feature.

Similiarly if there's a technical problem, such as a song skipping forever (which should never, ever happen), we need a way to turn the stream off from the dashboard and hopefully skip over the song that's doing it (for whatever reason). But it shouldn't ever happen in the first place.

Allowing us to kick a rogue streaming session should be a top priority.

Yes, the ability to change the stream password should we have to "let go" of a DJ would be nice. Also be able to kick the current live DJ off the stream. Basic Admin controls :)

Hello everyone,
After receiving the response to my last ticket/question, I considered then what my next option is to be if I am to have remote "Editors" doing radio shows off-site, with the concern that they may not properly log-off their LiveDJ access. (guidance below). My request is then to have some form of 'override' put in place that I can access to retain control of the station. What can we do to have something like an "override" put into place. This appears to be a very large concern.... Thanks

"NOTE: Once your remote DJ is finished with their session, they must "turn off the encoder" (disconnect Mixxx, BUTT, etc.) to allow any subsequent DJ to launch their show, or to allow your regular programming to resume. This means that the previous session "must be disconnected" by the DJ prior to another DJ launching their show. "

from your Support website, you've listed the following:

This means that the previous session "must be disconnected" by the DJ prior to another DJ launching their show.

I'm requesting that there be a remote disconnect feature made available to the Administrator to disconnect a remote "Editor" DJ for a number of very practical and security-related reasons.

I think it would it would be nice if we could generate our live DJ password meaning each DJ has their own password.
So let's say you have a DJ mixing when he/she finishes the password is generated so the next user has a different password to log in with.

Password change and be able to generate would keep shows running smoothly. Please make this change happen asap.

I had the same IP address logged in 26 times the other day. I quickly banned it, but the ability to manually KICK OFF the 25 others is not available at this time.

This needs to be a top priority. There is no real reason we should be sharing a master password for our station with every DJ. There should be separate encoder accounts for each DJ with priority setting as well as the ability to disconnect an encoder. Barring that, at least being able to change the password at will should be able to be done by the end user as opposed to having to contact support.

I would like a way to stop our encoder from the Live365 Dashboard so that I can turn radio program on remotely when receiving an event while away from my computer with the encoder.

Another vote for this. The ability to see an IP address of a connected encoder would be very handy!
