Listener Counts

[JoshuaHufford]

Do the listener counts include yourself? In other words if you are listening to your own feed from the same IP address as the feed, does that get counted in the total number of listeners?

Also if someone is listening to your feed with say Scanner Radio, not the Broadcastify app, do those listeners get counted in the total?

Thanks.

1. More than likely yes.

2. That information is right on the feed management page.

OK thanks. I only use Chrome while I'm at home and I've never seen Chrome show up, only Safari.

OK thanks. I only use Chrome while I'm at home and I've never seen Chrome show up, only Safari.

That is likely due to how the parser on Broadcastify is seeing it. IF you use chrome, your browsers user-agent string will look something like this:

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/71.0.3578.98 Safari/537.36

In there, you'll see it say "AppleWebKit" which is likely causing it to report Safari.
