Turn of visualization

[musomn]

Hi All,

I'm streaming an audio file and the player is embedded in a webpage. When the audio streams I would like to display the company logo instead of the disturbing visualization effects.
Is there a simple way to do this?

Thanks for reading,
Mushtaq

Do you have control of the webpage and server? If so, just load the video that you want.

If this is a 3rd party site, there is no way to control the content they put on

Or maybe I'm misunderstanding what you are asking?

Yes, I do have the control of the webpage & the streaming server.
I'm streaming an audio (wma) & not video. I've tried setting the image in the asx file but it doesn't show up.

Sorry, I'm not as familiar with the specifics of streaming WMV/WMA or silverlight, but in flash you would just make a video (the audio is the same but usually in aac format, but the video is the company logo).

I understand, I'm still on an ancient technology. thanks for your time.

A static logo takes very very little additional bitrate to encode over the audio only. You could even make an animated logo of your company if bandwith isn't a big consideration.

AFAIK, the visualization effects are controlled client side, through plugins on the client computer. So not all computers will have the visualization effects. If you made a video, you would "force" the display to whatever your video showed (e.g. company logo)
