Properties

Setting Name
Description
FriendlyName
This is the display name of the device as reported in the device description. Changing this value only affects the name displayed within the Jamcast Server Manager and log files.
IsDlnaCompliant
This determines if Jamcast will communicate with the device according to DLNA specifications. Set this to True if you know your device is DLNA compliant.
ProtocolInfo
This setting should automatically be retrieved from a UPnP or DLNA compliant device. Edit this value if you want to modify the list of media formats Jamcast thinks your device can handle. This setting drives Jamcast's transcoding feature as formats not in this list are automatically transcoded to the next best supported format.
Settings
¶
Setting Name
Description
BrowseMetadataMaxArtists
Specifies the maximum number of artists returns for a track object. This setting is used to solve compatibility issues with certain devices. Set to -1 to return all artists.
DisableUpnpSearch
Set this to True to disable UPnP search capabilities for this device only. This is useful on the Roku Soundbridge as it brings the Jamcast browse tree to the top of the menu.
EnableSeekTrickMode
Set to True to force non-seekable media to act seekable to this device. This solves some playback compatibility issues, particularly with the Virtual Soundcard LPCM stream on some devices.
ForceMP3CaptureStream
Set to True to force this device to request the Virtual Soundcard stream as MP3 audio, regardless of ProtocolInfo. This is useful when a smaller, compressed audio stream is desired for better streaming performance.
ImpersonateWMC
Set to True to impersonate Windows Media Connect. This setting is required for use with the Microsoft Xbox 360.
MaxFormatOptions
Specifies the maximum number of stream format options are provided to the device for each track. By default (-1), Jamcast will make known all compatible streams according to the value of ProtocolInfo.
MaximumBitsPerSample
The maximum bits per PCM sample supported by the device.
MaximumNumChannels
The maximum number of audio channels supported by the device.
MaximumPCMSampleRate
The maximum PCM sample rate supported by the device.
MinimumPCMSampleRate
The minimum PCM sample rate supported by the device.
MP4SupportedCodecFlags
Specifies the MP4 audio codecs supported by the device. Jamcast will automatically transcode unsupported codecs to a more suitable format.
SuppressAuthorRoleAttribute
Set this to True to suppress the "role" attribute on artist objects. This solves some device compatibility issues.
SuppressMimeTypeAttributes
Set this to True to suppress mime type attributes. This solves some device compatibility issues.
TreatAsControlPoint
Set this to True to have Jamcast disregard all known or assumed playback capabilities of this device. This is recommended when the device is a UPnP control point controlling other devices on your network.
WMASupportedCodecFlags
If the device supports Windows Media Audio playback, this setting specifies the specific audio codecs it can support (WMA, WMAPro, WMALossless, or WMAVoice).
