Using the Triton Test Player

Scope

This document covers the use of the Triton Test player when using the Z/IPStream R2 or R/20 for stream encoding.

This is not a Telos Product and is developed, hosted and supported by Triton Digital directly.  Links used here and features of the product may change.

Description

This tool can be used to test your stream, hear audio, and see metadata associated with your stream.

  1. In a web browser, click this link. https://sdk.listenlive.co/web/2.9/playground/index.html

    Enter the call sign of your station.  In our example TELOSBJONES

  2. Click the Play Icon

  3. Make sure your speakers are turned up to hear the stream.  It will play from the default sound card on your computer.

It will show you some metadata about your stream

  • sudiocodec (Codec type - MP3 in our example)

  • audiodevice (Sound Card) used on the R/20

  • encodermachinename (Name of the R/20)

  • source (Version of the Triton software on your R/20

  • The blue squares are Audio Packets

  • the Yellow squares are cue points (now playing info from your automation system

Cue Points are also listed separately.  You can see in our example we have two cue points, both tracks (Songs in the Triton vernacular)

You can refer to Tritons Documentation here. https://help.tritondigital.com/user/docs/cue-point-and-metadata-monitoring

Also note in this example we connected to TELOSBJONES which is going to connect  you the MP3 mount by default.  If you want to listen to your AAC mount (assuming you hvae one) you would need to specify TELOSBJONESAAC.
