Omnia Audio Omnia A/XE - Manual (Page 45)

HTTP Stream Server
The HTTP server choice will send the stream to the Omnia A/XE’s built in stream server.
Using this server you can monitor the encoded stream directly from the source PC. This
is often helpful in troubleshooting server connections or just as a quick way to test that
everything is working as expected. The HTTP server is also useful when adjusting audio
processing parameters as the audio delay should be smaller than listening to the stream
delivered through SHOUTcast or Windows Media server.
When you select this choice you will see the following
HTTP Server Stream dialog:
1. Enter a friendly stream name in the first text box. You may use letters, digits, spaces and
underscore characters in the name but please avoid other special characters.
2. Next, select a resource ID for the stream. The resource ID will become part of the URL
you will use to reach this stream. For example, if the stream server is active on port 8080
and you use a resource ID of “stream1” then you would listen to this stream by entering
http://ip_address_of_pc:8080/stream1 in your media player. The Full stream URL will
display an example of the full URL you can use to listen to this stream.
3. When done, click the Save button. The stream will appear in the streams list on the left.
Send to SHOUTcast server
This option will send the stream to a SHOUTcast-compatible server. Please see the
SHOUTcast Streaming chapter for details on how to configure the SHOUTcast server
that will receive the stream.
1. Enter a friendly stream name. You may use letters, numbers, spaces and underscores but
please avoid other special characters. This name is used internally to refer to this stream.
2. Select a metadata source from the drop down list. If no metadata sources have yet been
