Known Issues In Nicecast

Nicecast goes through rigorous design and testing before it every gets released. However, there sometimes arise issues which can't or won't be worked around, at least not presently. Read on for more information. There are some problems in Nicecast which we are aware of, but have not yet solved. We may work on these, but for now, they are not solved.

RealPlayer

Currently, a bug in RealPlayer causes it to choke on certain types of data present in streams, such as the station name and track titles. To prevent this, when a listener using RealPlayer connects to Nicecast, no title information is sent.

Detour And System Audio

When using System Audio to broadcast, applications being re-routed by our Detour System Preference will not be picked up. Detour's settings override anything set by Nicecast. To get these applications into the System Audio stream, either disable their Detour redirects or adjust them to send audio to Soundflower.

WindowShade X

WindowShadeX has a minor conflict with Nicecast - if you have windowshade sounds on, and you shade a window in Nicecast's source application, the audio will skip briefly. To avoid this, don't shade windows in the source of Nicecast's audio.
