Broadcast Reports:
Monthly track broadcast reports from Centova Cast are spreadsheets that can be downloaded in CSV format and include thorough details on each song that was played on your stream over a specific month.
These reports are typically used to provide execution reports to experts in sovereignty and music licensing.
In addition to working with the majority of common accounting spreadsheet programs, such as Microsoft Office and LibreOffice Calc, CSV files are useful for modern customers who may want to execute more complex report processing using other specialized programming.
On the first day of the month, reports are created for the previous month and may be seen on the Tracks tab of the Statistics page. Each report consists of two spreadsheets: a playback report that lists each track played during the reporting period and a performance report that lists the aggregate playback data for each distinct song played during that time.
Playback Report:
The playback report contains a thorough posting of each and every track played during the revealing time frame.
The report includes:
- The number of songs played during the reporting period.
- The total playback time of the songs.
- The number of unique listeners who listened to the station during the reporting period.
- The number of times each song was played.
- The average listener duration.The average listener bandwidth.
- Artist name: the name of the artist for the track played, if accessible.
- Album name: the name of the album for the track played, if accessible.
- Track title: the title of the track played.
- ISRC: The ISRC code for the track played, on the off chance that the track was played by the autoDJ and the ISRC esteem was set in the ID3 labels for the track’s MP3 document.
- Begin time: the date and time at which the track started playing (YYYY-MM-DD HH: MM).
- End time: the date and time at which the track ended playing (YYYY-MM-DD HH:) MM: SS design, UTC/GMT region).
- Audience members: the number of audience members who heard any part of the track.
- Duration: the length of the track, right away.
- TLH: The complete listening hours for the track played Type – demonstrates how Centova Cast recognized the subtleties for this track; see Track Recognizable proof underneath.
- Other: held for sometime later
Performance Report:
The presentation report contains total playback and audience data for every one-of-a-kind track played during the revealing time frame.
The report includes:
- Artist name: the name of the artist for the track played, if accessible.
- Album name: the name of the album for the track played, if accessible.
- Track title: the title of the track played.
- ISRC: The ISRC code for the track played, on the off chance that the track was played by the autoDJ and the ISRC esteem was set in the ID3 labels for the track’s MP3 document.
- Duration: the length of the track, right away.
- Frequency: The number of times the song was played during the reporting period.
- Performances: the total number of listeners who were connected at any time the track was played during the reporting period, or the number of listeners who heard any part of it.
- Type: demonstrates how Centova Cast distinguished the subtleties for this track; see Track ID underneath.
- TLH: The complete listening hours for the track played Type – demonstrates how Centova Cast recognized the subtleties for this track; see Track Recognizable proof underneath.
- Other: held for sometime later.
Track Identification:
Streaming servers don’t record exact data about each track that was played; all things being equal, they essentially record a metadata string that regularly (however not dependably) shows the craftsman and title of the track. Centova Cast can use one of three methods, varying in accuracy, to match that metadata string to a specific track in the stream’s media library.
In cases like royalty reporting, the accuracy of the track identification may cause concern, so it is included in the Type field of each report. In order of decreasing accuracy, the Type field may specify one of the following three numerical values:
1: Song Title Code Match
Denotes that song title codes were enabled and a valid code was discovered in the metadata. This implies that the track was played by the autoDJ and was conclusively recognized by the media library. Your media library’s values for the correct track should precisely match the artist, album, title, ISRC, and duration.
2 – Heuristic Media Library Match
Indicates that song title codes were disabled (or that no valid code was found in the metadata) but that Centova Cast was able to find a track in the media library that seemed to match the artist and title from the metadata with a high degree of accuracy. The artist, album, title, ISRC, and duration will precisely match the values of a track in your media library, but there is a slight possibility that it could be the wrong track (particularly if you have multiple editions of the same track, such as a live edition and a studio edition, which share the same artist and title).
3 – No Media Library Match
Shows that no matching track could be tracked down in the media library, so the metadata was essentially parsed as-is from the streaming server, and a best-exertion approach was taken to recognize the craftsman, collection, and title. The ISRC worth will be unfilled, and the length will mirror the genuine time for which the track is played. In the event that the track was played by a live source (as opposed to by the autoDJ), it won’t exist in the media library, and in this way, it will be recorded as Type 3.
