Live365 Rolls Out Encoder v1.1

Previously, we unveiled the Live365 Encoder, which was in the beta stage. Now, we’re happy to roll out the official version of the Live365 Encoder, v1.1!

Our team has added two new features and made several stability and usability improvements to the Live365 Encoder for v1.1:

  • Auto start encoder on application launch
  • Auto start encoder on system start
  • Resolved issues that were causing I/O errors on certain versions of macOS
  • Made it easier to select and copy multiple lines from the log
  • Formatted the icecast mount to automatically discard the first slash
  • Fixed the bug where the connected uptime did not always display properly

The Live365 Encoder is a free desktop application that you download and run on your desktop or laptop computer in order to send a live audio feed and metadata information to your Live365 station. The Live365 Encoder enables you to utilize LiveDJ mode with Live365’s tools, as opposed to requiring a third-party encoder.
