How to install AES67 Stream Monitor on Linux?

Download the latest release binary from GitHub for Linux, but note it's unsigned, so you may need to adjust permissions or use the source build with npm commands as outlined in the README.

AES67 Stream Monitor vs Dante Controller for monitoring?

AES67 Stream Monitor is cross-platform and supports multiple standards like RAVENNA and ST2110-30, while Dante Controller is vendor-specific to Audinate devices; choose based on protocol needs and hardware compatibility.

Can AES67 Stream Monitor record audio streams?

No, it's designed solely for real-time monitoring and analysis; it lacks recording features, so you'll need additional software for capture or logging.

How to troubleshoot if streams aren't detected?

Check network interface settings in the app, ensure SAP is enabled on your network, and verify stream compliance with AES67 standards; manual SDP addition can bypass discovery issues.

Is AES67 Stream Monitor free to use?

Yes, it's open-source under an MIT license, allowing free use and modification, but partners can support development for priority features or testing.

Pros & Cons

Pros

Extensive Format Support

Supports uncompressed L16 and L24 PCM audio up to 64 channels with various sampling rates and packet times as defined by AES67, RAVENNA, and ST2110-30, ensuring broad compatibility with professional hardware.

Automatic Stream Discovery

Detects AES67 streams automatically via SAP and allows manual addition with raw SDP data, simplifying network monitoring in live environments.

Selective Channel Listening

Enables listening to specific channels, supporting both stereo pairs and mono channels, which is essential for quality control in multi-channel audio setups.

Cross-Platform Availability

Provides ready-to-use binaries for MacOS, Windows, and Linux, making it accessible across different operating systems without platform lock-in.

Cons

Unsigned Binaries

Release binaries are not signed, which may trigger security warnings and complicate installation for enterprise or cautious users.

Protocol Limitations

Only supports AES67, RAVENNA, and ST2110-30 standards, missing native support for other Audio-over-IP protocols like Dante or Livewire, limiting use in mixed ecosystems.

Complex Source Build

Building from source may require compiling the Audify audio backend, which can be challenging for users without development expertise or specific system dependencies.
