Just as we now can via script , override the media channel, so we can play media, without re-building a scene.  We need this capability as well for the 4 Stream channels. 

While it may seem like 4 should always be enough and you should know in advance what they might be, I think that is not enough. 

If you have a club venue, image re-building your scene between sets, so a new Dj who just hopped on at last minute for a time slot, for a sick DJ or performer. Do you really want to rebuild the scene and disrupt a club, especially when you have another Dj still performing. 

You want the ability to override one of the slots, and put in that new DJ's /Performers streaming URI and then be able to switch to it via script  for a seamless transition.  We need to be able to do this from script, so easy club management tools for a club can be made to make this simple for a club owner or anyone who has a guest  Dj/ performer in there experience.

  Hi Aurrie,
  
  So its possible to setup a chat command where you can do "/stream [URL]" 
  
  Nebulae sells a script for doing that.

  Does that solve your problem?

  Correct, but in some cases people want to use the media URL for video and use one of the audio channels for sound. I think that's what Aurrie is asking for here.

  That said, this is a fine solution for someone who can devote the media URL to just audio.

  I brought this up to Regomatic quite a while back. He explained that one reason for even having the 4 audio stream slots was to be able to start loading them as a scene loads up and not have to wait until a script triggers it belatedly. This made sense, but he also said he would consider trying to have it both ways by allowing these to be changed at run-time, too.
