Configuring Intro and Fallback Audio

You can add an Intro audio file that will automatically be played whenever a user connected to your
stream. Once the Intro File has finished playing, the listener will be connected to the live stream.

In addition, you can also add a Fallback audio file which will be used automatically in the event that
your live stream (and your backup stream) is interrupted. If you stopped your encoder (or your
internet is down) then after a few seconds, your listeners will start to hear your Fallback audio file.

Once you resume broadcasting, your listeners will automatically be transferred back to your live
stream.

Please note that streaming silence will not trigger the Fallback Audio File, it is only triggered if both
the primary and backup streams have no encoder connected.

Warning: When uploading intro/fallback media, you must make sure that the codec and bit-rate
match. For example, if you stream in MP3 at 128kbps, your intro and fallback media should be
128kbps MP3 files.

To add an Intro file or Fallback file to your stream follow these steps

1. Log into the Broadcast.Radio portal (shortcut)
   
   
2. Click on Settings on the right, and then choose Streams in the settings menu
   
   
3. Click the 'Cog' button next to your stream:
   
4. Click on the Media tab:
   
5. To add an Intro File, click on the Upload button in the Intro File section and browse to the
   audio file you want to use.
   
   
6. To add a Fallback File, click on the Upload button in the Fallback File section and browse to
   the audio file you want to use.
   
   WARNING: In both cases, the audio file must be the same format and bitrate as your live
   stream (usually 128kbps mp3)
   
   
7. You can also Replace or Remove your Intro/Fallback files from the same place once you
   have uploaded them
