    Very pleased Leif has released a new version just today, great work and a lot of improvements. Immediately I installed it (I have the HD version) and I would like to use BaRemote, but how to set it up? I use my local ip on my machine 127.0.0.1 and then port 8282 but do you need a password too?

    I'm not sure if you can remote to your local machine FROM your local machine. Why would you?

    I'll have a tinker with my copy and let you know what I find.

    As far as I know BaRemote it's needed to set up the streaming from BAO, otherwise how do you activate it, now that's free for HD owners?

    BaRemote connects to BaOne by TCP port 8200.
    Port 8282 is for HTTP (for automating things — every parameter can be controlled this way).
    BaRemote and HTTP support are both part of the management package, as is the stream receiver.

    If running BaOne as a service, BaRemote is the only way to control it, because services do not have user interfaces. In this case you'd indeed connect from your local machine to your local machine. Once you've set a password, you can connect from any machine, and that's when it really becomes useful. Yes, Teamviewer/Remote Desktop does work, but very slowly, uses tons of bandwidth, and uses a lot of CPU power — potentially enough to cause audio glitches. BaRemote, in contrast, uses very little CPU and bandwidth, and gives you the same 60fps meter and instrument update rate that you'd get locally. It also lets you stream audio directly from the BaOne to BaRemote (Client Audio) so that you can adjust the on-air sound from anywhere in the world.

    Streaming encoder is still a paid option for HD cores.

    Thank you Leif, now it's perfectly clear how it works  🙂

    (I'm ignoring the 90 day warning, preferring to resurrect old threads for possibly related questions.)

    BAO setup: PT on Studio Side, Basic FM with Mgmt (for stream receiver) on Transmitter Side.

    Our network on the Transmitter Side has no outside internet access (by design for the moment). Passing STL audio perfectly.

    Will BaRemote permit me to access BAO at the Transmitter? (Other remote access services do not work.)

    If the transmitter end has an IP address, you should be able to connect. However, I am baffled by your comment that it has no internet access, yet you are streaming.

    (As you can tell, Milky, I am an amateur…)

    This is likely a network issue. I have no problem sending audio, data, etc. from the studio to the transmitter via IP. However, sitting at my transmitter side computer, I cannot surf the web etc. nor can my current modes of remote access (eg. TeamViewer) see that computer

    Ah! It's becoming clearer. Teamviewer actually connects via their servers, so there is no direct link, whereas your STL is a direct connection, as is BA Remote. It has the additional benefit of being built specifically for the job, so uses very little CPU or network bandwidth. Teamviewer, in particular, is very network intensive, because all its traffic is routed from you – their server – the endpoint (and return).

    If you have BA1 running as a service at the transmitter, and you know the IP address of the computer running it, you should be able to connect simply by adding that IP plus colon (:) plus the port address 8200 (example 192.168.10.1:8200) to the BA Remote interface.

    Note that you can control a great deal of the options, but, if you need to change the actual configuration (example – change the input configuration for the soundcard , you will probably have to remove the service, change the configuration and restart the service.

    Milky, appreciate the help once again! At the moment, I haven't converted the transmitter side to a service. But I see what I have to do now to make BaRemote work.

    OK. You can safely run the TX end as a service, because you can also run BARemote at the transmitter site by using the local address 127.0.0.1:8200. This will let you control it if you are physically at the TX site, or you can do the same at the studio end by using BARemote with the endpoint (tx) IP address.
