The best way to utilize this feature without eating your bandwidth or inconveniencing your visitors is to upload it to a third party MP3\/video service and embed it into the HTML code of your site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can always do a manual audio\/video stream, but we don&#8217;t prefer this over the embed method, as it tends to load files slowly and use a lot of bandwidth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"#video\">To Stream a Video<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#audio\">To Stream an MP3<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"video\">To Stream a Video<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are many services available for hosting and embedding a video stream into your site.

Then create a text file with a .m3u extension. The .m3u file should contain only the URL to your mp3 file, and it should be uploaded in ASCII format.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"article_list wp-block-list\"><li>Create a subdirectory (e.g., media) in your public_html directory.<\/li><li>Then, upload your mp3 file named (e.g., mysongfile.mp3 into that directory.

For example:<br><pre>https:\/\/yourdomainname.com\/media\/mysongfile.mp3<\/pre><\/li><li>Then point your browser to the URL of the m3u file (using the above examples, https:\/\/yourdomainname.com\/mysong.m3u) and the .mp3 file will buffer and play.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Note that if you bypass the m3u file and point your browser directly to the mp3 file, the file will not stream &#8212; the visitor will have to download the entire mp3 file before the media will play. In the case of mp3 media, the buffering is determined by the media player on the listener&#8217;s computer &#8212; it&#8217;s not a server-side function.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>InMotion Hosting&#8217;s servers fully support the implementation of streaming media on your website.
