User Manual “Streaming Client“ - V1.31 - 8. Jan. 2007
•
When playing a playlist from a local USB media, the
Streaming Client periodically saves the current playlist
position on the USB media into a file named “plist.id”
so that streaming can continue with the next playlist
item after restart. The Streaming Client also saves the
serial ID of the currently used FAT16 file system in
memory and the “plist.id” is used only if the same file
system is detected after restart.
If the Streaming Client starts without any USB media
connected, the file system serial ID is forgotten so that
the Streaming Client starts playing from the beginning
of the playlist next time regardless of which USB file
system is connected.
http:// URL syntax
Both MP3 and WMA files as well as MP3 streams can be
played using the HTTP protocol e.g.:
•
“http://host.com/topten/song1.mp3”
•
“http://host.com/topten/song1.wma”
•
“http://host.com/topten/stream”
Full URL is supported; the file to be played can be on a
remote server running on an arbitrary port e.g.:
•
“http://host.com:12345/topten/song1.mp3”
To support authentication, username and password can
be provided e.g.:
•
“http://user1:[email protected]:88/topten/song.mp3”
If the web server specifies the MIME type of the file, this
type is considered, otherwise the file type is determined
from the extension of the file. MIME types audio/mpeg
(audio stream) and audio/x-mpegurl (playlist) are
recognized.
Note
: The HTTP protocol is influenced by the “HTTP
Proxy URL” settings (see chapter
3.1
Network settings
and
5.1
How to pull a stream from an Internet radio
station
).
