Can I have multiple priority streams active at the same time and how does prioritisation work?

Yes, you can have multiple priority streams open at the same time in PlayIt Live. When multiple priority streams are open and active, PlayIt Live uses a priority system to determine which stream goes live.

How prioritisation works:

The priority stream with the highest priority number will take precedence and go live. You can set the priority number for each stream in the Edit Priority Stream window under the Priority field.

If multiple priority streams have the same priority number, the stream that became active first will go live. Only one priority stream can be live at any given time - the system automatically selects the highest priority active stream.

Important notes:

  • Priority streams must be in the Open state to go live (not Closed or Pre-Open)
  • The stream must be connected and have sufficient audio volume above the silence threshold to be considered "active"
  • When a higher priority stream becomes active, it will automatically take over from a lower priority stream
  • Priority Streams is a premium feature that requires the Advanced Scheduling Module
