Live Broadcast Software for 24/7 Automated Streams
What 24/7 Automated Streams Actually Require
High CPU and GPU Load from 24/7 Streaming
Real-time encoding keeps CPU and GPU usage elevated around the clock. 24/7 live streaming software needs to minimize resource load, not sustain constant encoding pressure.
No Stream Scheduler or Playlist Automation
Most live broadcast software is built for manual sessions, not automated streams. Playlist scheduling, segment rotations, and unattended broadcast automation typically require separate tools.
Always-On Streams Need Uptime and Recovery
Software built for interactive sessions often lacks the long-running stability needed for 24/7 automated streams. Unattended broadcasting requires crash recovery and predictable resource usage over days.
Three Steps to 24/7 Broadcasting
Import Your Media
Add your audio files, video content, and visual assets. MP3, FLAC, WAV, MP4, WebM. No software-imposed upload limits: storage depends on your hardware.
Build Your Schedule
Use the weekly schedule grid to program time-based segments. Morning shows, evening playlists, weekend specials. Schedule once, let automation handle playback.
Pre-Render & Go Live
SavePoint pre-renders transitions and visual overlays ahead of playback, then streams cached segments to your configured destinations. Designed to reduce CPU load during broadcast.
AUDIO & VIDEO PLAYLIST MANAGEMENT
Import audio tracks, video files, and visual assets into your broadcast library. Create playlists with shuffle or sequential playback, mark favorites for boosted rotation, and exclude content without deleting it.
Folder Scanning
Import audio and video files from local directories with automatic metadata extraction. MP3, FLAC, WAV, MP4, WebM.
Playlist Scheduling
Create playlists with shuffle or sequential playback. Assign playlists to schedule segments for automated broadcast rotation.
Favorites & Boost
Mark content as favorites to increase their frequency in shuffle rotation. Weight your broadcast toward preferred tracks.
Exclusion Lists
Hide content from broadcast rotation without removing it from your library. Useful for seasonal or retired content.
Program Your Entire Week
Arrange your segments into a weekly schedule. Different music for morning, afternoon, and night, automatically.
Everything You Need to Broadcast
Pre-Render Pipeline
Transitions and visual overlays are rendered before playback. Stream cached segments instead of live-encoding. Designed for more predictable CPU usage during broadcast.
Multi-Destination Output
HLS web player (included). Discord, YouTube Live, and RTMP outputs available with Year Pass. Publish to multiple destinations from one schedule.
Weekly Schedule Grid
Visual schedule builder with time slots, segment rotations, and day-of-week programming. See your entire broadcast week at a glance.
Visual Transitions
13+ built-in transition effects between segments. Crossfade, dissolve, slide, blur, and more. Configured per-segment or station-wide.
Dynamic Overlays
Now-playing ticker, logo watermark, custom graphics, and audio visualizers. Layered canvas compositing for broadcast video output.
DJ Mode
Take over the broadcast live with your microphone. Audio ducking fades scheduled content while you speak, then returns to automation.
Broadcast-Ready Video Output
SavePoint composes each broadcast frame from independent layers: background imagery, content, overlays, and visualizers. Transitions and effects are pre-rendered ahead of playback, reducing encoding load during the live broadcast.
Canvas-First Compositing
Every frame is composed from independent layers: background, content, overlays, and waveforms. Full control over the visual output.
Video-as-Content
Treat music videos and full video files as primary broadcast assets. Audio tracks and video content live in the same schedule.
13+ Visual Transitions
Fade, slide, blur, and more. Every segment change gets a professional transition, configured per-segment or station-wide.
Run a station with multiple contributors and live shows
Broadcasting has always been a team sport. Radio stations rotate DJs, TV networks cycle anchors, panel shows give every guest a seat, esports channels pass between casters. SavePoint's cooperative streaming lets you hand any scheduled slot to a contributor and they broadcast live into the station from their own rig: mic, webcam, music library, overlays, and all.
When their segment ends, SavePoint returns to the regular programming automatically. The schedule belongs to the station and each slot belongs to the contributor who was assigned to it. Any creator, DJ, presenter, gamer, or host can run their own time.
Per-contributor time slots
Assign a scheduled segment to a station member. Their PC becomes the studio for that window.
OBS-compatible RTMP ingest
Contributors broadcast in from OBS, hardware encoders, or any RTMP-capable streaming software. Their setup stays theirs.
Owner master override
Per-segment connection keys are scoped to one slot. The station master key reclaims the air for breaking content, sponsor spots, or emergencies.
PREDICTABLE RESOURCE USAGE FOR 24/7 STREAMS
Real-time encoding keeps CPU and GPU usage elevated for the entire broadcast. That makes 24/7 streaming expensive and unpredictable.
SavePoint pre-renders transitions and visual overlays before playback, then streams cached segments during broadcast. This keeps resource usage low and consistent, even on modest hardware.
The result is broadcast software that runs reliably on both home machines and production VPS instances, leaving plenty of room for the live contributor slots and visual overlays your audience expects.
Broadcast Software That Runs on Your Terms
No Monthly Subscription
No recurring SaaS charges for the core station manager. Platform broadcasting features are available through an optional Year Pass ($69/year).
No Software-Imposed Storage Caps
Your media library lives on your drives. SavePoint doesn't limit how much content you import: capacity depends on your hardware.
No Software-Imposed Viewer Caps
SavePoint doesn't gate audience capacity behind pricing tiers. Listener and viewer limits depend on your hosting, bandwidth, and streaming architecture.
RUN YOUR BROADCAST STATION ANYWHERE
Local Setup & Testing
Build and test your broadcast schedule on a home computer or local network. Configure playlists, visual overlays, and stream destinations before going live.
Deploy to a VPS for 24/7 Broadcasting
Move the same configuration to a Node-ready VPS or dedicated server for always-on broadcasting. No reconfiguration needed. Your schedule, media, and settings transfer as-is.
Publish to Multiple Destinations
The core SavePoint station manager is free to use, including the built-in HLS web player. Platform broadcasting features (such as YouTube and Discord outputs) require a Year Pass ($69/year). Get instant access. View pricing →
