⚠️ Restart Guide

• Reggae / Hip-Hop / Soca / Talk AutoDJ — Restarts Liquidsoap. Music pauses ~5s then resumes. Any live DJ on that channel is disconnected.

• HLS Reggae / Hip-Hop / Soca / Talk — Restarts the HLS encoder. Mobile listeners see a brief buffer, then recover automatically.

• Talk Recorder — Restarts the external-show recorder daemon. Any active recording is interrupted; the daemon re-attaches on its next poll.

• Icecast — Restarts the streaming server. All listeners on all mounts disconnect for ~5 seconds.

• Schedule API — Restarts show scheduling. Player probe timers reset but music keeps playing.

• Admin API — Restarts this backend. Reload the admin page after ~5 seconds.

• Chat / WS Relay / CMS / Promo — Safe to restart anytime; no audio impact.

ℹ️ About Listener Stats

Stats are collected once per minute from Icecast. History is held in memory and resets when the Admin API restarts. For long-term stats, run GET /api/admin/listener-history?period=7d to export raw data.

📢 Promo Slots — Homepage Monetization

Each active & non-expired promo shows in the homepage promo section. If multiple are active, one is picked at random per page load — fair rotation for paid clients. Types: recruitment (DJs/hosts wanted), product (YCR merch / events), business (paid sponsor ads).
