This is a source element for using an existing audio/media stream available in the netwrok as input. This includes, but is not limited to, restreaming existing internet radio streams.
| ! | Other URL audio |
|
The URL source can also be used to receive other network audio. For example:
|
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| Number of channels | Information field: Shows the number of currently used channels. |
| Sampling rate | Information field: Shows the current sample rate of the input. |
| Data vailable | Information field: Shows whether the audio source currently receives data. |
| Reset Pipe to waiting |
Toggles behavior in case of no incoming audio data.
|
| Override display name |
Changes the name by which this audio source element is displayed in the PIPEs list (instead of “URL”). Note that this is separate and distinct to the PIPE's name. Example: Naming it “Channel 1,2” to see which input channels are used. |
| Passthrough |
Toggles whether incoming audio is decoded upon entering the system.
Note: This option requires a license. See here for details. |
| Timestamp smoothing |
Toggles whether timestamps should be restamped if they do not match system time.
|
| URL |
Sets the source URL to take the audio/media from. Note: The following protocols are supported:
|
| Decoder PLC | Toggles use of packet loss concealment on the decoder ("On") if possible. |
| UDP Timeout | Sets a timeout for UDP connections in seconds. |
| MPEG TS Program Number |
Sets which program from an MPEG TS is used as input. Note: This is only relevant when the source URL delivers a MPEG TS with multiple programs. |
| Stream ID |
Sets which individual stream is used as input. Note: This is only relevant when the source URL delivers multiple streams. |
| Raw data input | Toggles whether raw data (non-audio/media) should be accepted ("On") or rejected ("Off"). |
