Latest release
The Community edition runs on your Windows computer. Install Node.js 22.13+, then choose the installer for your version of OBS below. Close OBS before installing. Your computer and OBS must stay running while broadcasting.
Installer 0.1.13 supports OBS 33.0.1 and 33.0.0 and checks the Qt and Chromium versions before installing. Choose the separate OBS 32 installer for OBS 32.2.2.
Windows auto-start opens OBS visibly after Playback is ready. The sign-in launcher waits for a healthy station, opens the dashboard, then launches OBS once. Keep Start this output when OBS opens enabled to resume queued video automatically.
Update the station files while preserving data and launcher configuration. Existing startup tasks use the updated script in place. If startup is not installed or you moved the folder, run INSTALL-AUTO-START.bat and choose Y for OBS.
Playback prefers 1080p YouTube video when available and shows the actual decoded height in the OBS dock. Set Output resolution to 1920 x 1080 and Apply for a full HD source; lower-resolution videos use the best available lower quality.
The missing station warning opens the dock when Playback is unavailable. Run start-player.bat before OBS, or install Playback's Windows automatic startup task. Disconnected output pauses, hides video and silences audio, then reconnects when the station returns.
Restart Twitch stream before 48h is optional and off by default. When enabled, it stops OBS's main Twitch stream at 47h55m, waits two minutes, then restarts while the Playback queue continues. Start the first stream manually; manual stops stay stopped. Uncheck to cancel a pending restart. Other services and multistream plugin outputs are not controlled.
The overlay keeps the outgoing video's title while the next video loads, then changes after the 300 ms crossfade. Both OBS builds retain the signed-in YouTube session, queue controls, experimental ad filtering, bounded browser crash recovery, memory-cache limits and five-minute resource logging.
Visible OBS startup was verified using the real scheduled tasks, without a complete Windows reboot. The Twitch restart timing uses accelerated tests; a real 48-hour broadcast remains untested. Live members-only playback on OBS 33 and multi-day YouTube/GPU memory use still need verification. See the release notes for results and limits.
