Updated: 11 October 2026 · Applies to: Centova Cast v3

An intro file plays to each listener when they connect. A newly loaded intro file only takes effect after the stream restarts.

Fix

  1. Log in to your Centova Cast panel (usually https://your-server:2199).
  2. Restart the stream (stop, then start).
  3. Reconnect with your player to hear the intro.

Tip: Use the same audio format and bitrate for the intro as your stream (for example MP3 at 128 kbps), or some players will skip it.
