Stream State

Open

The Stream state allows you to play an IP stream from a local or remote source.

• Audio: Play an audio stream.

• Video: Play an audio/video stream.

• MJPEG: Play an MJPEG stream.

• Stream URL: Enter a valid URL for the stream. The URL can also include a number of optional parameters:

  • Specify a User Variable to replace all or part of the URL. To include the value of the variable in the URL, enter the variable name between two sets of dollar signs (e.g. "http://www.example.com/streams/{{my_URLvar}}").

  • Append the "latency" and "jitter" parameters to modify the default latency (see this How-to… for more details).

  • Append the "buffersize", "vcdbsize", and "acdbsize" parameters to modify the default streaming buffer size (see this How-to… for more details).

  • Append the "lowlatency" parameter to reduce the default latency.
