Utilities > Silence Detector
Restarting an http audio stream
(1/1)
rogerB:
I'm trying to use Pira to detect loss of an internet radio stream I am recording (logging) on the same PC.
I want to detect when it goes silent, usually caused by a disconnection of the audio webstream (e.g. wifi or incoming internet stopping).
The webstream URL will play in any browser or a player such as VLC or MPlayer, so ideally when Pira detects loss of audio, it relaunches the webstream. However, when VLC or MPlayer (or a browser) goes silent, Pira need to close and relaunch the browser/player and go straight to the webstream address. Any ideas how I can get it to do this?
Thanks

Ah. Worked it out.
Used a dedicated browser with home page set to the webstream
Pira set to kill the browser then restart it on silence.
Simples!

Hi Roger,
I'm trying to do something similar to you, I think. I'm playing an audio stream through Foobar2000. On silence, I would like it to click the "play" button again. I prefer the Foobar2000 media player but I could also use VLC.
Thanks for any tips you can provide!
