The MBH StreamCP provides an easy-to-use web-based control panel which allows you to manage your own streaming server account on demand. You will be able to stop and start your servers, manage server configuration, view data transfer and listener reports, review logs, and obtain access to a variety of information and statistics about your streaming server.

Data Transfer & Listeners

The MBH StreamCP provides detailed daily and monthly data transfer and listener statistics, complete with graphs. Track listener trends and resource usage anytime! Take a realtime look at who is listening to your stream right now, including listener countries and user agent information. Listener locations can be plotted on a world map using Google® Maps.

All-in-One Streaming Radio

In addition to providing total control over your streaming server, the MBH StreamCP also provides complete server-side source support (also known as "Auto DJ"). Never again will you need to rely on your own PC to broadcast your stream!

Just upload your media (MP3s, etc.) directly to the server via FTP, manage your media through MBH StreamCP's comprehensive AJAX Media Library system, and schedule your media using MBH StreamCP's advanced playlist scheduling system.

NEW! Downloadable spreadsheets (CSV format) containing the complete list of songs you've played on your stream in the past month, including detailed information about the date, time, and audience of each performance.



A performance summary spreadsheet is also available (not shown) which provides aggregate reports on the playback frequency, number of performances, and monthly TLH for each song.

These reports can greatly simplify the royalty reporting process required by many music licensing agencies. This provides a complete, all-in-one solution for setting up an Internet radio station.

Media Management Simplified

MBH StreamCP's AJAX-driven media library system brings the convenience and usability of a desktop media player's song management interface to the web.

The layout of the interface is reminiscent of the media library functionality provided by today's most popular desktop media players. Media can be searched or browsed by artist, album, title, or genre. A track preview feature is also available, which plays a 10-second clip of the selected song(s) to assist in identification.

Once located, tracks can be added to a playlist simply by dragging and dropping them on the desired playlist. Through the use of Centova Cast's advanced playlist scheduling system (described below), this drag-and-drop functionality can be used to instantly schedule the selected tracks to play at a given time, or on a repeating schedule.

As was eloquently stated by one of our clients, it's difficult to grasp the "cool factor" of this system until you've experienced it firsthand.

Radio Station in a Box

MBH StreamCP supports multiple playlists for each stream. Each playlist can be configured individually to control precisely how and when it will be played -- at a specific time, on a repeating schedule, or on a rotation schedule with support for ranking by popularity (known as "weighting").

Four types of playlists are available:
General rotation playlists
Handle the bulk of the media played on your stream. Multiple general rotation playlists can be created, and a different priority or "weight" can be assigned to each playlist to control how often its tracks are played.


Placing your popular tracks (such as new releases) in a playlist with a "heavy" weight will ensure that they are always played more often than your less popular tracks.

Interval playlists
Play on a recurring basis, either every few minutes, or after every few songs.


Interval playlists are ideal for jingles, station identification, commercial advertisements, promotions, or any other media that you'd like MBH StreamCP to automatically play frequently and repeatedly.

Scheduled playlists
Play on a specific date, at a specific time. They can optionally be configured to repeat every day, week, month, or year on a recurring schedule.

Scheduled playlists are ideal for daily/weekly countdowns, pre-recorded shows, weather forecasts, or any other media that you'd like to have MBH StreamCP play automatically at a specific time.

Immediate playlists
play immediately when they are activated. They are ideal for spur-of-the-moment playback of tracks such as requested songs or announcements. Through a combination of the playlist types offered by MBH StreamCP, you can achieve total control over your media scheduling, and completely eliminate the need for expensive third-party source software to schedule your tracks.

MBH StreamCP provides each stream with its own AJAX-driven start page, which provides a variety of interactive features and information about the stream.
Much like the similar capability on the Live Statistics page, current listener locations can now be plotted on a world map on the start page using Google® Maps. Custom album covers are now supported as well (embedded in ID3 tags, and also via the standard "folder.jpg" and "albumartsmall.jpg" filenames in clients' uploaded media folders) allowing broadcasters to provide their own cover art to show on the start page and in the media library.




The features of the start page include:

• On-demand content browser. Allows you to publish a set of tracks for on-demand playback/download by listeners. This is an ideal way to offer podcasts or other freely-distributable media to visitors on an on-demand basis.
• Recent track list. Provides a list of recently-played tracks. If Amazon.com integration enabled, the album cover is displayed along with a link to purchase the album. Purchases are credited to your Amazon.com affiliate account, making this an ideal revenue-generation opportunity.
• Song requests. Listeners may submit requests which are E-mailed directly to the stream administrator.
• Tune-in links for common media players. Clicking any of these icons tunes in to the stream using the corresponding media player.
• The current track, and stream status. This is updated in realtime using AJAX technology to ensure that it is always current. Clicking the song title launches the stream.

Each feature offered on the start page is also available as a standalone, AJAX-driven JavaScript widget which you can optionally embed in a page on your own web site.
