Edit Priority Stream Window

The name of the priority stream. This is shown on the main interface when the stream is not Closed.

The type of the priority stream:

• Live URL: PlayIt Live connects to a remote Icecast or SHOUTcast streaming server and pulls the audio.
• Direct Stream Connection: PlayIt Live accepts an incoming connection from an Icecast-compatible client.

See Live-Assist Mode Settings for more details.

The connection parameters for the selected type.

If Live URL is selected, enter the URL of the stream to connect to (for example, http://192.168.1.50:8000/stream).

If Direct Stream Connection is selected, choose the user who will log in and stream audio to activate this priority stream. You can create users under Manage > Users.

The priority number for this stream. When multiple active priority streams are open at the same time, the one with the highest priority number will go live.

The open state determines whether PlayIt Live will check for a connected stream.

• Closed: PlayIt Live will not check for a connected stream and this priority stream will never go live.
• Pre-Open: PlayIt Live will check for a connected stream but it will not go live. Use this to ensure a stream is loaded and buffered before opening.
• Open: PlayIt Live will check for a connected stream. If the stream is connected, has valid audio and is above the silence threshold defined in Live-Assist Mode Settings, the stream will go live.

When a priority stream goes live, it will take over any current live-assist playout as per the settings defined in Live-Assist Mode Settings.
