Open Live / IRC#

Open Live / IRC after connecting your broadcaster. Carrier must confirm that you are the live DJ for the assigned station. The page shows your title, listeners, current song and tracking mode.

Missing controls#

The live DJ and admins can change the broadcast. After connecting, give Carrier time to update and reload the page. If Carrier is offline or cannot confirm your account, live changes are blocked. Profile, schedule and archive editors use their own checks.

If an action is slow#

Reload and check the song number or queue before trying again. Retrying the same pending action does not advance twice. Selecting the current song leaves its start time unchanged.
