17.1.6 Restarting a Track.
If you are part way into a track and want it to start from the beginning, press READ with T. This is
the same command as used elsewhere in KeySoft for returning to the beginning.
17.1.7 Streaming Audio.
As well as playing files, the media player can also stream audio from compatible links on the
internet. Compatible links include ACB Radio's winamp link, along with other winamp links that
use a pls file format, and MS Media player links, except in the case of ACB Radio. If it is not clear
from the link whether it is going to be compatible, try it to see.
If you select a compatible streaming audio link while in KeyWeb, it will automatically open either
the Media Player, or open an online media player, depending on how the link is designed.
After selecting the link there will be a period of time when the file buffers and the web page reloads
itself. The length of time this takes will depend on the internet connection speed. KeyWeb lets you
know what is going on by a series of prompts and progress beeps something like this: "Please wait
...beep ...beep... beep... loading media... beep... beep...Name of webpage." There may be a short
period of silence before or at the end of this sequence depending on how long it takes for the Media
Player to buffer the file. When the file is loaded, the stream will start to play. Hitting ENTER again
during this process could cause it to hang, so make sure you give it time before retrying.
If the link opens a player on the site itself, you will have to use KeyWeb to activate the controls on
the site itself. If the link opens in the Media Player, you can use the stop, pause and play functions
but not the others. This is standard behavior for media players playing links that stream audio.
17.1.7.1 Pausing and stopping audio streaming.
There is a command that pauses and restarts audio streaming. It is CONTROL with BACKSLASH.
If audio is playing, it will cause it to pause. If it is paused, it will cause it to restart. This command
also works to stop and start any media file while it is playing.
17.1.7.2 Saving a streaming link as a Favorite.
By saving a streaming link as a favorite, you can go directly to it from the favorites menu instead of
having to go to the page then select the link. Instructions on how to save a link are covered in 12.8.2
Create favorite from current link.
