Encoder Won't Show Up (Sam Broadcaster Live DJ)

This was a search I saw recently on my old website...
Encoder won't show up in SAM Broadcaster live DJ window
SAM Live DJ

The Live DJ version of SAM Broadcaster can only stream to 1 service SAM Broadcaster Cloud

Its a stripped down version of SAMBC supplied to station owners who have SAM Broadcaster Cloud accounts which come with 5 DJ seats.

Licensed versions of Live-DJ can only be used to stream to stations under your (the station manager’s) control
I always thought the DJ seats were just a money making scam in the first place so they could extract more money from station owners.

You can't use DSP plugins with SAM Live DJ so you can't encode using a DSP encoder.

You won't get very far with SAM Live DJ if you've downloaded it illegally

I believe that Live DJ automatically shuts down after a couple of hours use.

Its NOT like the Pro version of the software that has the encoding capabilities included for the $299 price tag.

Forget SAM Live DJ and use RadioDJ instead.
