Add an audio stream relay

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

Preface

First, to create a standard stream, you need to have a radio encoder. The configuration settings provided at the end of the stream creation process will allow you to configure your encoder. Once this is done, the stream will be sent from your encoder to Infomaniak's servers.

Next, you have the option to specify the relay of any stream (e.g., any Webradio). In this case, Infomaniak no longer receives the radio via an encoder connecting to the master server but relays the stream broadcasted by another server. If you create this stream relay, your stream will already be 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.

At the same location, you can enable the backup stream option. Thus, if your primary stream becomes unavailable, the backup stream will automatically take over.

Create a Stream Relay

To access the Streaming Radio service:

1. log in to the Infomaniak Manager (manager.infomaniak.com) from a web browser like Brave or Edge
2. click on the icon at the top right of the interface (or navigate using the left sidebar menu)
3. choose Streaming Radio (universe Streaming)
4. click on the name of the relevant object in the displayed table
5. click on the name of the radio
6. click on the Add Stream button
   
7. click on the Add Stream button
8. select Stream Relay
9. 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 as follows: http://server.com:82/music.mp3 then indicate:

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

That said, in some cases, the mount point field can be left blank and the extension may not be necessary. If there is no port in the URL with http, simply put "80".

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

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