# Getting Started
|
||||
|
||||
If the server is only being used for LibreTime and has a web browser installed,
|
||||
you can access the administration interface directly on that server by opening
|
||||
the address:
|
||||
|
||||
http://localhost/
|
||||
|
||||
If you have set up LibreTime so that it can be accessed from other computers,
|
||||
you would use a domain name instead. For example:
|
||||
|
||||
https://libretime.example.com/
|
||||
|
||||
You can log in for the first time with the user name *admin* and the password
|
||||
*admin*. Your browser should automatically focus on the
|
||||
**Username** field.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
You will see a link **Reset password** below the password field, which enables
|
||||
users to obtain a password reminder by email. You will need to have a
|
||||
mailserver configured to work with PHP for this to work. There is an issue open
|
||||
to add documentation for this
|
||||
([#724](https://github.com/LibreTime/libretime/issues/724)).
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
The **E-mail** address you enter must match the address stored in the database
|
||||
for your **Username**.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
The Master Panel
|
||||
----------------
|
||||
|
||||
The **Master Panel** is present at the top of every page of the LibreTime
|
||||
interface. On the left hand side, the Master Panel displays the details of the
|
||||
**Previous** file played out, the current file playing (with an orange progress
|
||||
bar and time elapsed/time remaining), and the details of the **Next** file due
|
||||
to play. It also displays the name and scheduled time of the current show, with
|
||||
a blue progress bar.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
Beneath this side of the Master Panel is the main navigation menu. We'll be
|
||||
looking at the contents of these menus in the following chapters of this book.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
On the right hand side of the Master Panel are the switches for the **Source
|
||||
Streams**, which enable you to switch from scheduled play to remote live
|
||||
sources, and back. (See the chapter *Stream settings* for details of this
|
||||
feature). The **On Air** indicator turns from dark grey to red whenever audio
|
||||
is being played out. Underneath this indicator is a **Listen** button, which
|
||||
opens a pop-up player that can be used to audition the available playout
|
||||
streams.
|
||||
|
||||
There is also a clock indicating the **Station time** and time zone. Beneath
|
||||
the clock and just to the left, the name of the user currently logged in is
|
||||
displayed, and there is the link for you to **Logout**.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
Clicking the username link opens a page in which you can update your LibreTime
|
||||
password, contact details, language and time zone preferences. Click the
|
||||
**Save** button once you have made the changes that you require.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
Checking an Icecast server
|
||||
--------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
If you have installed an Icecast streaming media server, you can check that
|
||||
Icecast is running by opening its default server port of 8000 in your web
|
||||
browser. For example, on the server itself, you can use:
|
||||
|
||||
http://localhost:8000
|
||||
|
||||
or from another machine, using the domain name of the Icecast server:
|
||||
|
||||
http://streaming.example.com:8000
|
||||
|
||||
You should see the Icecast status page, with details of any connections that
|
||||
your LibreTime server has made to this Icecast server. If you have only just
|
||||
installed LibreTime, there may not be any media playing out yet.
