Audio streaming

The base audio url is /Audio/{Id}/stream. Some players will have better results when the url has an audio file extension, so we also provide several aliases to account for that:

• /Audio/{Id}/stream
• /Audio/{Id}/stream.mp3
• /Audio/{Id}/stream.aac
• /Audio/{Id}/stream.ogg
• /Audio/{Id}/stream.wma
• /Audio/{Id}/stream.flac

Generally, it is recommend to use a url with the file extension that matches the format you wish to encode to.

Item Id is the only required parameter.

All of the optional parameters can be viewed using the swagger documentation. If you are using a url without an audio file extension, then you must supply AudioCodec, or you'll receive an error.

Direct Streaming

If the client device is capable of playing the file without encoding, it is recommended to use the Static=true parameter. This will stream the file directly without any processing, sparing the server's cpu, and allowing for easier seeking.

With direct streaming, it is recommended to either use a url file extension that matches the original file, or has no extension.
