Disable Incoming Audio

Hey all, I'm looking for a way to turn off streaming audio from the jukebox. My DM always has background music going, and wants to keep it that way, but I will be stuck using mobile data for a while and streaming several hours of layered music tracks is a bit too much for me. I've only found one topic on this, but it is pretty old and I know R20 has updated the jukebox since then and I don't think it holds up anymore. Muting/setting the volume to 0 obviously doesn't actually stop the music from being streamed. Anyone know a way to handle this on my end?

Hi Strange, Depending on the browser you should be able to mute the site from the tab you are in, think most browsers support that now...what I’m not sure is whether the data still streams, or is actually blocked... (E.g on Chrome you right-click over tab header and do ‘Mute Site’... I was also looking at:&nbsp; <a href="https://wiki.roll20.net/Video_and_Voice_Chat#Broadcast_and_Receive_Settings" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.roll20.net/Video_and_Voice_Chat#Broadcast_and_Receive_Settings</a> &nbsp;but not sure if that affects the jukebox...wiser heads here will probably know ;) Si
Thanks, Si. The Video and Voice Chat settings only affects actual chat (ie, receiving audio from players' microphones/audio inputs), it doesn't seem to affect the Jukebox at all. Muting the tab likewise doesn't seem to stop the data from streaming from what I've observed.

Yeah, I suspected that might be the case... The only other thing I can think of is depending where the source of the jukebox is from, e.g. if its Incompetech or Battlebards or one of the other (non Roll20 custom music) is to block those sites in the browser settings... incompetech.com or battlebards.com or similar...

You can probably use uBlock or similar ad-blocking extensions to block the data. All of my R20 audio files are currently broken, and refuse to play, but the GET requests are all to: GET <a href="https://app.roll20.net/audio_library" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/audio_library</a> Setting up a custom ad-blocker rule to block all data from&nbsp; <a href="https://app.roll20.net/audio_library" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/audio_library</a> should do the trick, I think? Since Roll 20 has, once again, broken all my audio file links I can't see exactly what gets sent to the player browser -&nbsp; but if the /audio_library part of the address doesn't come through to the player browser, you should be able to just block audio codecs from app.roll20.net instead.
Thanks, Oosh. That's a good thought, I'll give it a try!
