Understanding Video Playlists

Last updated 1 month ago

Video Playlists allow the user to organize scheduled video files and live input

Scheduling is only available on TV Stations you can find more information about this on our TV Station Services page

MediaCP Video ✅ Wowza Streaming Engine  Flussonic

Important Information

All uploaded video files and any live broadcast should follow the same video and audio formats. Changes between files may result in the interruption of the broadcast.

MediaCP Video and Flussonic TV stations may experience a delay in scheduling, this is occurring because the system is preloading the next file. The delay does not occur for Wowza TV station services.

It is required to reload schedule for Wowza Streaming Engine TV stations, as it will apply the configuration to the application. This is not required for Flussonic or MediaCP Video as they operate more dynamically.

TV Scheduling

The TV Schedule section will allow you to monitor, create and manage your default and scheduled playlists

Playlist Calender

Using the calendar you can create new playlists, dynamically move playlists, duplicate, and delete playlists. As well as accessing the playlist builder

Right click for more options and to duplicate playlists

Playlist Builder

You can add media to your playlist by dragging uploaded files to the playlist section on the right
