Online TV channel playlist and schedule preview

What is an online TV station?

It’s a 24/7 stream that plays your content in a programmed schedule — just like traditional TV, but online. You create shows and blocks from your videos, set when they air, and your audience tunes in at the right time on your site or app.

Upload videos (MP4) to your library.
Create playlists and assign them to specific days and time slots.
Run multiple playlists across the week — mornings, primetime, weekends, specials.
Interrupt the schedule to go live anytime for breaking news, events, or shows.
Resume the schedule automatically when your live session ends.

How it works

Upload MP4s: Add episodes, clips, promos, and filler segments to your media library.
Build playlists: Drag-and-drop videos into playlists; set start times and durations.
Schedule by day: Assign different playlists for weekdays, weekends, or special dates.
Publish: Embed our HTML5 player on your site or use the direct .m3u8 HLS URL in your own player.
Go live anytime: Start a live RTMP input to take over the channel; stop to return to the schedule.

You get three player options out of the box, plus a direct HLS (.m3u8) stream URL you can use in any compatible player or app.
