When adding a new station, the earlier station is removed from Internet Radio YP

Hi,

I'm currently building a small range of stations for different genres. Whilst we have no problems listing multiple stations over at Xiph using YP, unfortunately each time we add a new station the last entry for the Internet-Radio YP directory is replaced with the current one.

For example, there's around 8 stations listed on Xiph, only one listed on Internet-Radio.

We are transitioning from Centova on a bare metal server (where all of this worked without any problems), to AzuraCast. Other than that, we can't identify any other changes that might cause an issue.

If anyone could help us look in the right direction, that would be great,

Thanks
 
Thanks for your patience. We've had a deeper dive into the issue and found the problem to be related to the way Azuracast provisions multiple Icecast mount points. Unfortunately it's not compatible with one of the ways we attempt to limit steam duplication. This is why you're only seeing one station listed. We've got some creative ideas to fix this but it involves some quite major changes to our database schema which require some extensive testing before we can roll them out. I hope this makes sense and you can bear with us while we work this out.

I'll try and keep you updated in this thread.
 
Hi,

Thanks for getting back.

I’d like to try resolve this if possible, by making changes to the code base on this side. When you say it relates to multiple icecast mount points, that’s a little unclear from my perspective as each station only has the one active mount point at any one time.

However, if you would kindly share any more information on the specifics that’s stopping the stations being listed, we’d be happy to make the code more compatible on this side.

Azuracast have a similar support forum on their side, with the developers being active, and I’ll be more than happy to share the feedback with their developers

Many thanks
 
We've had a little deeper look into Azuracast and we're thinking a better solution might be to implement a Webhook-Based option to enable Azuracast to list in our directory (https://www.azuracast.com/docs/user-guide/promoting-your-station/).

This is probably a better solution as there's a lot more data available than in the YP method (example json for the Web Hook feed : https://demo.azuracast.com/api/nowplaying_static/azuratest_radio.json). Also, its probably simpler to setup for most users...

Leave this with us to have a look into.
