Has anyone had success or is it possible to pickup this stream as an Input Source in vMix? The only issue I am seeing is Barix quotes its formats as wither G.711, PCM or MP3 where as vMix is specifying AAC or H.264. Thanks everyone

Just wondering if you had an Exstreamer. I used to use Instreamers, Annuncicoms and Exstreamers years ago, but software solutions came along ending their use.

For jobs like this one I like to have one specced as a bit of a get out of jail card for when someone says the stream isn't sending so you can show the problem isn't on your end.

You could mux it with a blank video stream and add it as flash but thats way too much trouble.
