Ready-made files
Owners and admins get the password in the files, so store them safely; for everyone else the password line is left for the owner to fill in. In BUTT choose Settings → Import and pick the BUTT file.Step-by-step guides

Help
Before you start
- Use a wired connection or strong Wi-Fi. Streaming at 64 kbps needs about 100 kbps of steady upload.
- Use MP3, 64 kbps, 44100 Hz. The server expects that format.
- Only one encoder can be connected to a mount at a time.
- Do not share the password. If it leaks, ask the network team to change it.
Something went wrong
- Authentication failed / 401: the password or user name is wrong. Copy them again from this page.
- Mountpoint in use / 403: another encoder is already connected. Stop it first, or wait a minute for the server to release the mount.
- Connection refused or timed out: check the server and port, and that your network allows outgoing connections on that port.
- Connects but you hear nothing: check the input device in your encoder and the listen link from another device.
- Keeps dropping: lower other uploads on your network and keep the bitrate at 64 kbps.
Broadcasting from the browser
A "Broadcast now" button that goes live straight from Chrome is planned. It needs a small bridge on the server first, so for now use one of the apps above.
