Connect Button

Clicking on the connect button generates a webpage on your local machine that contains all the URLs to your streams and audio files. These are the URLs you use on your website.

Next to each stream you have setup in BroadWave, you will see a link that you provide on your website. Visitors to you website will use this link to access each of your different streams. BroadWave will automatically select the best streaming format based on your visitor's web browser and computer.

*Advanced Use Only*
If you do not want BroadWave to automatically select the type of stream the user will receive, then you can provide links to specific stream formats. To do so, replace the .m3u file type in the links provided with the stream type you wish the user to receive. Supported stream types are .asx, .m3u, and .pls. For example, if the automatic link is: http://yourweb.com/broadwave.m3u?src=1&rate=1, and you wish to specifically deliver .asx streams, then you can change the link to http://yourweb.com/broadwave.asx?src=1&rate=1 Please be aware that not all of these links will work on all computers - this is an advanced option only. In most cases you will be better off allowing BroadWave to select the stream for you.

There are three main types of stream audio here:

• Live Stream: This is the audio streaming from your microphone. If BroadWave is running (even in the background) this audio is "live" and anyone can listen to it.
• Playlist: This will stream all your audio files in a looping playlist, playing one file after the other.
• Audio File: These are the individual audio files that you added to BroadWave, each URL will stream that audio file once.

The options are where you adjust the various settings of BroadWave:

Recording to disk

Each stream has the ability to record your live input stream to disk in case you want to save it for later. To begin writing a stream to disk, click on the record button which is the button with a grey circle on the right side of each volume meter.

Clicking or pressing the spacebar will begin recording your stream to disk. Click it again to turn it off.

You can change the location of where the audio file is recorded in the Live Options.

Current Connections

The status bar shows the number of people currently listening to your live stream. This number is only relevant to your live stream, not your audio files.

This is where you can see some important events. Such as starting the server, user starting to stream and more.
