Audio streams

Slideshow supports playing HTTP audio streams as a background audio using content with type Audio/video stream.

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.

Setting up audio stream

Steps necessary to set up playing audio streams through Slideshow’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 to Audio playlist.
  3. Go to menu Playlist → Audio playlists schedule and set up schedule for the audio playlist
