Loading a show from the Audiohost Show Server

When you've got access to a pre-built show package — your tracks, mic map, and cue list bundled and ready to run — the package lives on the Audiohost Show Server. You'll receive a show code with your access. That code is what pulls the package onto your iPad or iPhone.

How to load it

  1. Open ShowPlayer Pro.
  2. From the show list, tap Load Show.
  3. Enter your show code.
  4. Confirm. ShowPlayer downloads the full package to your device — audio files, mic map, and cue events.

Once the show is on the device, it works fully offline. The network is only needed for the initial load.

The Add Show screen with a show code entered (peterpanjr-code123) and a Load Show button, plus options below to Create New Show or load a Guided Feature Demo or Musical Excerpt Demo without a code
The Add Show screen. Enter your show code and tap Load Show. Demo shows linked below load with no code needed.

Notes

  • Where the show code comes from. The code is sent to you when your show package is ready. If you've ordered a package and don't have a code yet, reach out to support — we'll track it down.
  • Storage. A typical show is between 150 and 400 MB. Make sure you have room on the device before loading.
  • Backup device. Use the same show code on every iPad or iPhone you want to run from. iPhone makes a great backup — most operators already have one in their pocket, and it runs the show with the same capability as the iPad.
  • Reloading. Your show code stays valid. If you ever lose the show or move to a new device, you can pull it down again.
  • No show code? Try a demo. The Add Show screen also offers several demo shows that ship with ShowPlayer. They load instantly with no code or network needed — useful for exploring the app, training a new operator, or testing your hardware setup before the real show package arrives.
