MediaCP 2.16

Next Generation MediaCP

Video streaming has received a major upgrade with a strong focus on user experience and stability, especially relating to TV Channels. We’ve built a brand new video media manager, redesigned and upgraded interfaces, native YouTube integration, and Scheduled Relays for Radio Streaming.

Interface

A fresh, modern look

Almost every screen in MediaCP has been optimized with a focus on working faster with fewer clicks, fewer page loads, and bulk actions where you used to work one item at a time, on any device you happen to be holding.

A cleaner, more modern panel throughout.

Updated typography, softer shadows and refined spacing make every page easier on the eyes and easier to scan.

Stop managing one item at a time.

Redesigned customer, reseller and service listings put batch actions one click away.

First impressions matter.

The login page now sets the tone with dynamic backgrounds (powered by Lorem Picsum), your own branding and a fresh quote to start the day.

Backgrounds are proxied through CloudFlare and MediaCP.net website for strict quality control and high performance.

Media Manager

The media manager, rebuilt

Media management for video services has been completely rebuilt, and the audio manager upgraded to match. Add media direct to playlists and schedules from the media manager. Both now share one consistent, purpose-built experience for broadcasters.

The legacy file manager is gone.

Organise your library with folders for TV services, edit titles, replace thumbnails, and see resolution at a glance.

The same modern experience, tuned for radio.

Improved audio media manager with quick action bar, playlist-aware deletion and confirmation, Select in bulk and act in one click, with a storage bar that shows exactly where you stand.

TV Stations

TV streaming you can trust

We’ve rebuilt how TV channels stream. The result is the most stable TV Station experience MediaCP has ever shipped, with or without encoding. Switch between live encoders and AutoDJ without a hiccup, use less server power, and trust that your channel stays on air.

The entire streaming pipeline has been rebuilt for stability.

Faster start-up with no more fragile hand-offs between processes. When combined with transcoding, there’s no need to worry about format differences between media or live encoders.

You decide how strictly your channel enforces format rules.

Inconsistent media is the number one cause of stream failures. Set the rules once and MediaCP ensures all media is compliant, allowing your channel to run seamlessly without transcoding.

Your channel no longer needs to run around the clock.

Leave the default playlist empty and broadcast only when your schedule says so.

Run your broadcast in the moment.

See exactly what’s playing and change course instantly.

Simulcasting

Go live on YouTube, natively

Connect a TV channel to YouTube in one click. MediaCP fetches your server URL and stream key automatically, so going live takes seconds instead of a copy-paste ritual. Supports integration with your own Google Cloud app.

Stream Targets

Stream targets, under control

Managing dozens of stream targets one at a time is over. Sort your targets, select as many as you need, and start, reconnect, stop, disable or delete them all in a single action.

Radio

Relay anything, on schedule

Radio stations can now schedule almost any external source to broadcast automatically. Live RTMP broadcasts, Shoutcast and Icecast streams, audio and video files, and M3U playlists all plug straight into your schedule. Syndicated shows, network feeds and remote broadcasts run themselves.

1

Scheduled relays. Set your source and time, and MediaCP does the rest. Every source is validated on save and again on play, so dead air never makes it to your listeners. Video sources even have their audio extracted automatically.

2

Priority interrupts. Priority jingles and scheduled content can break into a relay, play, then hand back automatically. Ad insertion over syndicated content, no manual intervention required.

Security

Secure streaming by default

Every new video installation now accepts encrypted RTMPS input on port 1936, straight out of the box. Your broadcasters’ streams are protected in transit with SSL, with zero extra configuration and full backward compatibility on the legacy RTMP port.

rtmps://your-panel:1936 · SSL in transit · zero configuration

Security shouldn’t be a setting you have to find. In 2.16, it’s simply the default.
