Session Rules
The Session Rules refer to an IP-based filtering method, that allows an account administrator to route the listeners through a certain stream or a group of streams, with various actions being applied.
Some examples of how the rules can be applied are:
redirecting listeners from different countries to alternative content, different bitrates and even particular advertising serving static media files and/ or on demand vast ads.
Allowing specific groups of listeners to reach a station’s broadcast only on specific time-frames.

This feature is only available in Loop channel Stations |
The playlist feature, allows you to upload a number of tracks to your station to never go silentLoop channel station, that will air whenever an encoder is not connected. If, for any reason, the connection to of the encoder(s) to the server is lost, the playlist will take over and play air the content you have uploaded, either in the order you have set, or shuffled. By default, the playlist is not set as active and will only become active if needed
Please note that in case no listeners (or encoders) are connected to your stream, the station remains idle, waiting for a connection.

Do so before leaving the page, as any unsaved changes will be removed. When a restart or a save is successful, you will see a message at the top, indicating so.
As mentioned, the Playlist takes over when any other connection is lost. The playlist will become active and start playing when at least one listener accesses the stream. The track that is currently playing is indicated by a green “ball” “mark” next to it. If there are no listeners, the playlist will stop at that exact point and, if needed to start again, it will pickup from the same point.
