Topic: How can I stop and restart a stream?

[scarboni]

Hello !

I have a stream to icecast/shoutcast server, that I want to be able to "plug and unplug".  I want to allow my user to start streaming, and then stop, stopping the connection as a whole, and if they want later on, start a new connection.

What is the clean way to do so? To be able to keep playing my stream locally without interruption, and then by moment, stream it to a server or not.

You can use BASS_Encode_Stop to stop an encoder (and the casting on it). When you want to restart it, create a new encoder like you did the first time. Neither of those steps should affect the local playback.

Thank you ! It worked great.
I wasn't using the right function to stop it before.
