This guide explains how to create a stream relay on the Streaming radio Infomaniak.

Preamble

• First, to create a standard stream, you must have a radio encoder.
  • The configuration parameters provided at the end of the stream creation procedure allow you to set up your encoder.
  • Once this operation is completed, the stream will be sent from your encoder to the Infomaniak servers.
• Next, you have the possibility to specify the relay of any stream (for example, any webradio).
  • In this case, Infomaniak no longer receives the radio via an encoder that connects to the master server but relays the stream broadcast by another server.
  • If you create this stream relay, your stream is already available and accessible via a host address (domain name or IP address).
  • This address must be specified in the Manager so that Infomaniak's servers can retrieve your stream.
• In the same place, you can activate the backup stream option.
  • Thus, if your main stream becomes unavailable, the backup stream will automatically take over.

Create a stream relay

To access the radio streaming service:

1. Click here to access the management of your product on the Infomaniak Manager (need help?).
2. Click directly on the name assigned to the relevant product.
3. Then click on the radio name.
4. Click on the Configure streams button:
   
5. Click on the Add a stream button:
   
6. Select Relay stream:
   
7. Click on the Continue button.
    

The configuration requires 3 fields:

1. server name
2. port
3. mount point

If the stream you need to relay is composed as follows: http://server.com:82/music.mp3 then enter:

1. server.com
2. 82
3. music.mp3

That said, in some cases the mount point field can be empty and the extension is not necessarily required. If there is no port in the URL with http, you should simply enter "80".

Click the blue button to validate the stream, then click Save at the bottom right.

You can also add a relay stream as a backup stream if you activate this option when adding a standard stream:
