How does Live Station work?
Live Station is a 24/7 TV channel system that works as follows:
- When you stream live: Your audience sees the signal from your encoder (OBS, Wirecast, etc.)
- When you are not streaming: Live Station automatically plays your playlist of pre-recorded videos
- Automatic transition: When you connect your encoder, Live Station automatically switches from the playlist to your live signal. When you disconnect, it goes back to the playlist.
This means your channel is never offline, always showing content to your audience.
Uploading Videos to the Playlist
- Go to your channel → "Live Station" tab
- In the playlist section, click "Upload Videos"
- Drag and drop your files or select them from your computer
- You can upload up to 10 videos simultaneously
- Videos are processed automatically
Formats and requirements
| Parameter | Recommended |
|---|---|
| Format | MP4 (H.264 + AAC) |
| Resolution | 1920×1080 |
| Audio | AAC, 44.1 kHz, Stereo |
| Pixel Format | yuv420p |
Important: Videos in MP4 format with the H.264 codec and AAC audio are accepted without re-processing, which makes the upload much faster. Other formats will be converted automatically.
Organizing the Playlist
Once the videos are uploaded, you can:
- Reorder: Drag the videos to change the playback order
- Delete: Remove videos from the playlist
- Preview: Preview any video before including it
The playlist plays in a continuous loop. When the last video ends, it starts again from the first one.
Starting and Stopping Live Station
- Click "Start Live Station" to begin 24/7 playback
- The channel starts broadcasting your playlist immediately
- If you connect your encoder while Live Station is active, the broadcast automatically switches to your live signal
- When you disconnect your encoder, Live Station automatically resumes the playlist
Auto-Recovery: Live Station includes an automatic recovery system. If a video has problems, it is skipped and playback continues with the next one. If the system restarts, Live Station resumes automatically.

The panel shows the status of your Live Station:
