How to listen using Windows
Media Player
Follow the steps 1 to 6 in chapter 8.1 to ensure correct
settings in the Annuncicom IC.
STEP 1
Open your Windows Media Player and click on
Open
URL
under the menu
File
.
Enter the IP address of your Annuncicom followed by
/xstream. Example:
192.168.0.5/xstream
Hit the OK button.
STEP 2
The Media Player will open the stream and connect to the
Annucicom. This is indicated by a single “)” going from left
to right and back in the stream bar on the bottom right.
STEP 3
The Media Player will connect and indicate this by the Play
button appearing and a steady display of two “))” in the
stream bar on the bottom right and as buffering proceeds
the number of ”)” will increase.
STEP 4
The Media Player is programmed for playing streams from
a server and calculates the buffer automatically. Because
the Annuncicom is streaming in real-time the buffer
calculation assumes a slow connection and would buffer for
about 2 minutes. This can be shortened by clicking on the
Play button. The playback then starts immediately.
STEP 4
If you think that the delay is too be big the Media Player
can be tuned to shorten it. Change the setting in the
Performance Tab (under the menu Tools/Options) as
shown below
and make sure that you click on Play as soon as the button
appears.
