My stream doesn't play

1 min readUpdated November 8, 2026

What to check when listeners can't hear your station.

  1. Check the Dashboard. Is a song playing? Is the AutoDJ active?
  2. Check your music. The AutoDJ needs at least a few MP3s in your library or in the scheduled folder.
  3. Check invoices. An unpaid invoice suspends the station. See payments.
  4. Restart. Use Broadcast → Restart Radio Service.
  5. HTTPS website? Use the HTTPS stream URL. See HTTPS streaming.
  6. Platform status. Look at status.radiohosting.net.
