How to Connect RadioBOSS to AzuraCast (Live Streaming Guide)

Before opening RadioBOSS, you need your unique “Streamer” details. You should not use the Administrator password for live broadcasting.
1. Log into your AzuraCast Dashboard.
2. Click on “Streamer/DJ Accounts” in the sidebar.
3. Click “Add Streamer”.
4. Create a username (e.g., dj_live) and a secure password.
5. Click Save.
(Note: Ensure the “Enable Broadcasting” switch is turned ON for your station).

1. Open RadioBOSS.
2. Go to Settings (Gear Icon) > Broadcasting.
3. Check the box “Broadcasting enabled”.
4. Click the “+” (Plus) button to add a new encoder.

A “Configuration” window will appear. Fill it in as follows:
Server: [Your-Server-IP]:[Port]
Tip: You can find this on your AzuraCast dashboard under “Quick Links”. It usually looks like radio.az-streamingserver.com:8000.
Password: source_password OR dj_username:dj_password
Critical Tip: If you are using Icecast (Mount Points), the password format is usually dj_username:dj_password (separated by a colon).
Station Name: Your Station Name.
Format: MP3 or AAC+.
Bitrate: 128kbps (Recommended for MP3) or 64kbps (Recommended for AAC+).

Error: “Cannot start broadcasting (Error 401)”
Cause: Incorrect password or username format.
Fix: If you created a DJ account named mike, try entering the password in RadioBOSS as mike:yourpassword.

Error: “Error 2 (Connection Refused)”
Cause: The port is wrong or the AutoDJ is refusing to disconnect.
Fix: Ensure you are using the specific DJ Port (sometimes different from the listener port). Check your AzuraCast dashboard for “DJ Port”.
