How do I schedule broadcast streams to start and stop at set times?

You can schedule your Internet Broadcast streams to start and stop automatically at specific times using Scheduled Events in PlayIt Live.

To set up scheduled stream control:

  1. Go to Manage > Scheduled Events
  2. Click Add New to create a new scheduled event
  3. Enter a name for the event (e.g., "Start Morning Streams")
  4. Select the trigger type from the dropdown (Once, Daily, Weekly, or On startup)
  5. Set the start time when you want the event to first trigger
  6. If using Daily, select the specific hours when the event should trigger
  7. If using Weekly, select the days of the week when the event should trigger
  8. Click the [+] button to add an action
  9. In the Edit Action window, expand the Internet Broadcast section
  10. Double-click on Start All Streams or Stop All Streams depending on your needs
  11. Click Finish to add the action
  12. Click OK to save the event
  13. Remember to click Apply or OK on the Manage Scheduled Events window to apply your changes

For example, you could create one event to start streams at 6:00 AM Monday to Friday, and another event to stop streams at 10:00 PM Monday to Friday. You can create multiple scheduled events with different actions to handle various streaming times throughout your broadcast schedule.
