1min

To play a Zixi-enabled stream:

  1. Open VLC Player
  2. On the Main Menu, click Media. Sub-menu options are displayed.
  3. Click Open Network Stream.
  4. In the URL field, enter a Zixi stream URL, which includes the following structure:
    • Zixi://<IP_Address_OR_FQDN_Of Zixi_Broadcaster>:<Output Port>/<channel name> For example: zixi://demo.zixi.com:2077/sample1
    • Remote-ID configuration - if you would like to use a specific username/session (password), for example, in case the broadcaster is configured with authorization or you already have a predefined output with specific remote-id, you can do so by adding username:password to the zixi URI. for example: zixi://user:pass@host:port/stream
  5. Click Play.
