 In these action lists, you can do things like stopping/starting the automation, sending commands to your audio switcher, etc.
 ===== Audio Routing =====
+The audio output for the Stream Monitor is set on the //Audio Devices// page in the config app or Control Panel. You can route the output to any soundcard or the [[features:encoder|encoder]].
+The Stream Monitor works best when running on an automated system where the automation is playing directly into the encoder, not any physical sound card. In that case, you can use the **Encoder High-Priority Input**. Set up your audio routing as follows:
+  * Player/Cartwall output: "Encoder" (primary or secondary)
+  * Stream Monitor output: "Encoder - High Priority"
+The High Priority input will mute the regular encoder input as soon as any audio item is sending data to it. So your automated playlist will continue to play in the background, but it is automatically muted as long as the Stream Monitor is rebroadcasting any stream. When the stream ends, the encoder input will be unmuted again. [[features:logging|Logging]] will also be disabled while the input is muted.
+===== Metadata =====
+Metadata (title updates) received from upstream are automatically forwarded to all outgoing stream connections if all of the following conditions are met:
+  * Stream Monitor plays directly into the encoder (output device is set to one of the "Encoder" devices)
+  * "Forward incoming stream metadata" is checked in the metadata settings of each encoder connection
+  * "Stream" is checked in the item type filter in the metadata settings of each encoder connection
