Tip

You can also play or stop the video using the spacebar on your keyboard.
Track the Video Up-Time on the player.
Click the Snapshot icon

Tip

By default, snapshots save to your downloads using the stream URL, or name (when configured) as part of the snapshot filenames. From the player settings, snapshots can be configured to include Metadata, Statistics, or Overlays.
See Play ISR Settings for details.
For streams with multiple audio channels, click the Audio Tracks icon
to select the desired audio track. When Disable Audio is enabled in the Play ISR Settings, audio track selection will be disabled.

Note

Audio streams with ISO 639-2 language codes will be identified as their respective languages (e.g. eng appears as English in the audio track options).
When possible, the player will default to using the same language as specified on the host system running Play ISR.
Adjust the Volume level by clicking the Volume icon
. If the stream has no audio, the volume icon will be disabled.

Note

When configuring audio from the back-end preferences, unsupported values (i.e. values higher than 100) will be automatically set to 100.
Click the Expand icon
