How to add an mp3 (live) ?

Adding an mp3 (live) allows you to play background music during your live events.

You need to add a pull live source and put the correct command.

• In the Production section (A).

• Add a new input (B).

• In the Live source section (C).

• Add a “Pull live source” input (D).

• Paste in the URL field (E) the command line bellow including your MP3 live URL.

The generic command is the following:

ffmpeg -re -loop 1 -i https://static-eu-irl.easylive.io/front/img/poster/audio-only.png -itsoffset $caching -i "http://XXXXXX.mp3" -map 0:v:0 -map 1:a:0 -pix_fmt yuv420p -r 10

You simply need to replace http://XXXXXX.mp3 by the actual MP3 live source URL.

Example:

ffmpeg -re -loop 1 -i https://static-eu-irl.easylive.io/front/img/poster/audio-only.png -itsoffset $caching -i "http://demo.stream1.com/live.mp3" -map 0:v:0 -map 1:a:0 -pix_fmt yuv420p -r 10

Don’t forget to save the live source. Your live source should be available in the Production section.

Note: You can control the delay like any other live source in case you would like to synchronize video and audio sources.
