Release Channel

The release channel controls which version of the playout engine runs on the station.

Channel	Description
Stable	Production-ready releases. Recommended for live broadcasting.
Beta	Pre-release features. Suitable for testing before going live.
Alpha	Early development builds. May contain experimental features and bugs.

Changing the release channel triggers a station restart. The currently deployed version is displayed below the selector when the station is running.

Maintenance Window

The maintenance window defines a time period during which the station can be restarted for updates and maintenance. Restarts are grouped within this window to minimize disruption.

1. Navigate to the project settings (maintenance windows are configured at the project level).
2. Enable the maintenance window toggle.
3. Set the preferred start time (full hours only, in the project timezone).

Pending maintenance operations accumulate and execute together during the next maintenance window. A notification appears on the station dashboard when maintenance is scheduled.

Playout Settings

Preload Time

The preload time determines how far in advance the next track is buffered. A higher preload time ensures smoother transitions but increases memory usage.

Mixer Channels

Configure the number of mixer channels available in the studio. The default is 3 channels. The maximum depends on the station plan.

Gap Killer

The gap killer removes silence at the beginning and end of audio files during playback.

Setting	Description
Enabled	Toggle gap detection on or off
Start Threshold	Silence detection level at the start of a track (in dB)
End Threshold	Silence detection level at the end of a track (in dB)

When combined with EBU R128 normalization, the gap killer uses loudness-based detection for more accurate results.

Station Type

Each station has a type that determines its capabilities:

Type	Description
Station	Full-featured broadcasting station with planner, studio, and streaming
Stage	Preview environment for testing configurations before going live
Relay	Restreams an external audio source without local playout

Created At
