How to play music in Rolisteam ?
There are two main ways to play music in your game sessions:
Mètode 1 - Compartir un directori
GM must share a directory containing all audio files (it can have subdirectories too). This directory (and subdirectories) must be shared to all players. You can either share an archive of the directory or use a service to ensure directory is updated on each player computer (dropbox offers this service, many others too).
On player side, the player must define the directory as source in all audio players. Then, the audio player will be able to find the right file and play it.
Mètode 2 - Servidor web
GM must put every audio file on a webserver with appropriate permission. Then, she/he can create a playlist (or several playlist) with http links.
That's all!

PMF
1. Can I stream music ?
Rolisteam is not streaming any audio files. It send stream information (such as URL) or filename to play. If you want to play your own audio files. You must send them to each of your players. Your players must put them into one directory and then, set the directory as music directory in audio player. Each audio player has it own directory.
Rolisteam can not be used as streaming server. So, music files are not transferred to each players. There are two reasons for that:
- Bandwidth issue
- This feature would make rolisteam a piracy software according to french laws.
2. How can I play music from TableTopAudio.com ?
Rolisteam provides a playlist with many background music from TableTopAudio.com. This playlist can be loaded from the contextual menu.
3. What file formats are supported ?
Rolisteam uses ffmpeg backend. If some audio format can be read, please install ffmpeg depencies.
