User Manual “Streaming Client“ - V1.31 - 8. Jan. 2007
Stream Check Period
The Barix device processes the URL sources in a loop
and tries to connect to the highest priority source
available. This value sets the amount of time (in seconds)
that a URL with a higher priority has to be available
before the device will switch from a lower priority URL.
Default: “30” seconds
Notes
: If the lower priority URL is a file then the file will
be played to the end before switching. This value works
only if more than one URL is configured. The selected
value is used when the higher priority URL is interrupted
the first time. To prevent frequent switching between
URLs (due to network drop outs) the value is multiplied
by 4 on every further drop out up to the value of “Check
Period Limit” (see below).
Check Period Limit
To prevent frequent switching between URLs (due to
network drop outs) the “Stream Check Period” value is
increased (multiplied by 4) on every drop out up to the
“Stream Check Limit” value in seconds. Every time the
higher priority URL becomes available the current value
is decreased (divided by 4) until it drops to the
configured “Stream Check Period” (see above).
Default: “1800” seconds
Buffer
For smooth playing the stream or file is buffered in
memory (up to 64kB). The Buffer value sets the period of
time stored before starting the playback. Increase this
value to prevent sound interruptions caused by network
problems. Decrease the value to shorten the playback
start delay when switching between streaming URL’s. The
“max” value uses all the buffer available.
Default: “max”
