Streaming Audio From Other Program Through ARC

Hi all,

Has anyone been able to Stream audio triggered from other programs through ARC over wifi to an EZB? I know the PC soundboard will play sound files located on your laptop. But what I want to do is play audio on an EZB that would normally play through my PC's speaker. For example maybe an internet radio show, a youtube video audio track, sound files triggered and used by another program on the laptop other then ARC.

Thanks in advance. :)

@Dave,

Your script has two spaces between AudioToolbox Plugin, change to one.

Humm, OK, Thanks! I copied these from your examples in the plugin section. LOL. I'll have to give it a try tomorrow. Off to bed now. Got to be back to work in a few hours.

@Dave,

It's a glitch, i just checked the plugin information, when i use the editor there is only one space between "AudioToolbox" and "plugin" but when the content is rendered as HTML, some black magic runs and one space becomes 2....

I thing the culprit is the HTML gadget used to highlight the keywords.

maybe DJ can perform some white magic to fix

Dave, use the cheat sheet.

I love the Cheat Sheet DJ. I use it all the time. Last night I was feeling lazy and just cut and pasted. Guess I won't do that again. Lol.

Looking forward to cleaning this up and getting this running tonight after work. Never enough time to play and have fun. :( While I wait could you tell me the way the Listen and Capture commands should be used? What does each one do. Why do I want to capture and listen? Do I need to use both to get the sound to stream to the ezb speaker? Sorry if this sounds like a dumb question.

@Dave, Short Answer:

Yes, you need both commands, because capturing sound and forwarding (listen) are two different actions.

Kinda what I thought. I'm guessing you need to initiate a device in windows and then start ezb listening to it.
