Audio Monitor v6 - Version History
v6.9.1 3rd June 2026
New Features/Changes:
Silence Notifications via the Broadcast.Radio platform:
- Customers with one or more active Broadcast.Radio services, including Myriad Anywhere, can now use the B.R Notifications service to send alerts and notifications. This service can notify you via email, Pushover, and WebHooks, and also includes the ability to prevent notifications being delivered during certain hours - for example, stations in countries where they are only allowed to broadcast during daylight hours.
- To configure this feature, go into Settings, then on the Remote/Notifications tab, enter your Broadcast.Radio API key (available from Station Settings in your Broadcast.Radio account) and click the button to verify it and be taken to the Monitoring settings in Broadcast.Radio to configure the recipients.
v6.8.1 12th June 2025
New Features/Changes:
Silence detection:
- There are new options in the settings window that allow you to:
- Launch an application when silence is detected - for example you could run a media player to play an audio file to cover the silence.
- Launch an application when silence has ended - for example you could use TaskKill to stop the media player that was launched when silence was detected.
- Call a URL when silence is detected - for example you could call a web service to notify you that silence has been detected.
- Call a URL when silence has ended - for example you could call a web service to notify you that silence has ended.
- There are also buttons adjacent to the URL fields to set them to some example URLs that will work with the Hardware Service v6 to activate a hardware line/relay when silence is detected.
Broadcast.Radio Archive integration:
- There are new options in the settings window to enter your Broadcast.Radio API key, and then you can turn on an option to automatically include a link in the notification emails to listen to the audio around the silence period via the Broadcast.Radio Archive service.
