FAQ

Common questions about configuring SimpleCast for live streaming with Server Room.

Where do I find my Server Room WMA streaming details?

Log into your Server Room account dashboard. Your WMA publishing point, username, and password are listed under your radio server details.

What profile should I select in SimpleCast?

Select the profile that best matches your internet upload speed. For most broadband connections, a standard WMA profile at 64–128 kbps is suitable.

What does Auto reconnect encoder do?

Enabling Auto reconnect encoder after under Error recovery tells SimpleCast to automatically reconnect to your Server Room server if the connection is interrupted, keeping your broadcast as resilient as possible.

Why does SimpleCast fail to connect?

Verify your publishing point, username, and password are entered correctly. Make sure your Server Room streaming service is active and that no firewall is blocking the streaming connection. Contact our support team via live chat if the issue persists.

Can I run multiple encoders at the same time?

Yes. SimpleCast supports multiple encoders. Add additional encoders via the + button in the Encoders window, each with its own profile and server settings.
