Clipstream™ Audio parameters you can add and what they do
This is a list of Clipstream™ Audio parameters and how they control how the Clipstream™ Audio applet plays audio. To learn how to add these parameters and edit them, see the Changing Clipstream™ Audio options by editing applet code page.
Parameter organization
You can paste parameters in any order within the applet but it is helpful to see how they are organized by function here. They are organized into Playback; Interface & Display; Licensing & Security; Events, Hyperlink, Javascript, Tracking;
PLAYBACK

 
Name Description Syntax  
AudioStreamURL Specify the URL of the encoded Clipstream Audio clip file.

<param name="AudioStreamURL" value="[Relative or Absolute URL location and filename]">

Note: It is only necessary to refer to the high bit rate file name. If you have a low bit rate file to offer, as well, use the AutoBitRate parameter (set to True) too so that the applet will choose the lower bit rate file if needed.

ex.
<param name="AudioStreamURL" value="clips/mymusic.32">

 
AutoPlay Toggle whether you want the applet to automatically play on page load. <param name="AutoPlay" value="[True or False]">  
AutoLoop Toggle whether you want the applet to play again from the beginning once it has finished playing once already. <param name="AutoLoop" value="[True or False]">  
AutoBitRate Toggle whether you want the applet to detect the user's connection speed. This is used if you want the applet to provide the user with an approrpiate high or low bit rate audio stream. If you only have one bit rate stream to offer, do not use this parameter. <param name="AutoBitRate" value="[True or False]">  
AudioBufferSize Specify number of seconds you want the clip to buffer before playing. This is to ensure that users with low connections can play the clip without rebuffering. <param name="AudioBufferSize" value="[# of seconds]">

ex.
<param name="AudioBufferSize" value="10">
 
AudioStreamURLSize Specifies the number of clips that the applet will call in a playlist. Not needed if you are only streaming a single clip.

<param name="AudioStreamURLSize" value="[# of clips in playlist]">

<param name="AudioStreamURLSize" value="4">

 
UseCaches Toggle whether you want the user's browser to cache the audio stream. <param name="UseCaches" value="[True or False]">  
LICENSING & SECURITY

 
Name Description Syntax  
Key Licenses the clip for playing.

<param name="Key" value="[The alphanumeric codekey string given to you by your Clipstream representative]">

Note: Not the same as KeyURL.

ex.
<param name="Key" value="ABEY53YH6UJFD455DFHG">

 
KeyURL If you have multiple licensing models for your site, you can include all of your keys in a single text file. Use the KeyURL parameter to refer to that text file's location on your web server.

<param name="KeyURL" value="[URL of the text file containing all of your keys]">

ex.
<param name="KeyURL" value="/mykeys.txt">

 
SID The security ID for your clip. If you have received a Security ID from your Clipstream representative, you would include this in your applet so that no one can play back this clip from anywhere but your website.

<param name="SID" value="[The alphanumeric codekey string given to you by your Clipstream representative]">

Note: This does not replace your Key or KeyURL. You still need a key license.

ex.
<param name="SID" value="ABEY53Y3563w4dsf234635674674
3w4635 H6UJFD455DFHG">

 
AuthorizedDomainURL You can specify other websites that you are allowing this clip to be played on by referring to a text file that has a list of these domains.
