What it actually does
Six parts, and you only ever touch the first three.
Your library
Music, pictures and video, kept in folders you arrange yourself. Drop files in one at a time or a hundred at once. Rename them, group them, move them around — it behaves the way you already expect a folder of files to behave.
Your files stay your files. A schedule points at them rather than taking a copy, so fixing a track in one place fixes it everywhere it is used. If something is part of a broadcast that is currently on air, we will not let it disappear out from under the stream without telling you first.
Channels
A channel is one broadcast set up the way you want it: which YouTube destination it goes to, what people see, what they hear, and what happens when the music runs out — start the list again, or stop cleanly.
You can keep as many channels set up as you like and run them when you want to. Setting one up and putting it on air are separate acts, so a channel can sit ready for weeks before its first broadcast.
The running order
Pick tracks from your library and put them in the order you want. Play straight through, or start again at the top when you reach the end.
You can rearrange it while the broadcast is live. Changes wait for the current track to finish before they take effect, so a listener never hears a song cut off partway. Everything after that point is rescheduled from your edit.
What people see
One picture held for the whole broadcast, or one video looping quietly underneath the music. That is the choice, and it is deliberately a small one — these are the two things that look right on a channel running for weeks without anyone watching over it.
The schedule
Everything above adds up to one thing: a chart of what plays when, worked out ahead of time and drawn as a timeline rather than a wall of text. Point at any moment in the next week and it will tell you the track, and how far into it you would be.
You get this before you go on air, not after. And because the broadcast follows the same chart you are reading, there is no gap between the plan and what actually goes out.
The record
Every track that started, every track that finished, every reconnection, every edit you made and when it landed — written down as it happens and kept for you to read later. When you come back after a week away, this is how you find out how the week went.
One output, on purpose
Streamhen broadcasts to YouTube. Not Twitch, not Facebook, not four platforms at once. Doing one destination properly is what lets us promise the broadcast will still be up next week.
