This station type can broadcast using a third party broadcasting tool or by relaying another stream. The credentials you will need to add to the broadcasting tool of your choice, are in settings>broadcast. This is where you can also find the Failover Server Address, which can be used as a backup with a different encoder (best on a different computer and network), in the case that the primary server address encoder disconnects. In this case, the broadcasting tool that is pointing to the Failover Server Address will take over.

This station type can broadcast by playing the content uploaded within its library (which is called “playlist”) or by relaying another stream.
