4.7.2 Add Audio: Webstream

This option allows you to make the LiveSupport server aware of webstreams that you intend to use in your playlists. To do so, choose Add Audio - Stream. You will see the New Webstream palette containing:

  • The Title field, where you enter name of the stream for easier identification in the ScratchPad
  • The Stream URL field, where you enter web address of the stream
  • The Length settings for your stream, where you specify the length of the webstream. If you want the selected stream to go live in the program, the length values should be set to zero.
  • The Cancel button, which cancels the operation and exits the palette
  • The Test button, which gives you the preview of the stream in your player, so you can confirm if the stream is OK
  • The Submit button, which you need to click to add the webstream

The click on the Submit button takes you to the to the Edit Webstream palette. Similarly to the Edit Audio Clip, the palette opens with Main tab active, which stores the basic metadata for any webstream:

  • The Language pulldown lets you select the language in which you want to create metadata. (The default language is English)
  • Title lets you specify the title of the webstream
  • Creator lets you specify the author of the webstream
  • Genre lets you specify the genre of the webstream
  • File format (automatically detected and cannot be altered)
  • Length (automatically detected and cannot be altered)
  • The Music tab allows you to view and add additonal metadata that is relevant for music webstreams. (The LiveSupport administrator can customize this screen to contain only the metadata your station uses and needs.
  • The Talk tab lets you specify metadata specific for mainly voice webstreams (e.g. news reports, talk shows, etc.)
  • If you make a mess in the metadata editing process, you can resort to the trusty Reset button at the bottom of the palette. A click on it will reset all the metadata fields you have edited.
