Your Stream URL

Every Stream Machine service has a dedicated failover-protected URL in the format:

https://yourstreamname.streammachine.co.uk/stream/yourstreamname

This URL is shown on your service page in the client area with a handy copy button. This is the URL you should give to your listeners, submit to directories like TuneIn, and embed on your website.

How It Works

Unlike connecting directly to a server, your Stream Machine URL uses DNS to point to whichever server is currently active. If the primary server goes down, DNS automatically updates to point to the backup. Your listeners don't need to change anything — their players reconnect to the same URL and reach the working server.

Using Mountpoints

If you use multiple mountpoints on your MediaCP servers (for example, different bitrates or different shows), you can simply add the mountpoint name to the end of your Stream Machine URL:

https://yourstreamname.streammachine.co.uk/stream/yourstreamname/your-mountpoint

For example, if you have mountpoints for different quality levels:

• https://yourstreamname.streammachine.co.uk/stream/yourstreamname/high
• https://yourstreamname.streammachine.co.uk/stream/yourstreamname/low

Each mountpoint URL is also failover-protected — the DNS failover applies to all paths under your stream hostname.

Always use your streammachine.co.uk URL for public distribution, not the direct server addresses.
