Audio Streams

DSD SHOW supports playing HTTP audio streams as a background audio using content with type “Audio/video stream”. Thanks to this, DSD SHOW can be used also as a headless music player, without any screen.

Steps necessary to set up playing audio streams through DSD SHOW’s web interface:

1. Create new content with the following setup:
   Type: Audio/video stream
   Path: direct URL of audio stream of your choosing
2. Edit automatically created playlist and set Sound: Audio playlist.
3. Go to menu Playlist – Audio playlists schedule and set up schedule for the audio playlist

Only HTTP / HTTPS audio streams are supported. Audio stream URLs for various internet radios can be found for example on https://streamurl.link/, or on the website of your favorite radio. The URL has to point directly to the audio stream, not to a website containing an embedded audio player.

If the stream also has a video part and it is set as an audio playlist, the video part of the stream will be ignored and only audio will be played.Creating new content with type Audio/video streamPlaylist with Sound: Audio playlistAudio playlists schedule

The status of the background audio playback is available on the home page of the web interface, in Media status & control.
