Leave it running for a month.
Streamhen turns a folder of your own media into a YouTube channel that broadcasts around the clock. You build the schedule once. We keep it on air.

Three things to do, then nothing
- 1
Put your files in
Drag in your music, your pictures, your video. Sort them into folders and rename them whenever you like — it works the way the files on your computer work.
- 2
Say what plays
Pick the tracks, put them in order, choose the picture or the video that sits behind them. Decide what happens when the list runs out: start again, or stop.
- 3
Go on air
Choose the YouTube channel and press go. Close the tab. Your broadcast carries on without you and keeps going until you say otherwise.
Know what plays at four in the morning next Thursday
Most streaming tools tell you what is playing now and leave the rest to chance. Streamhen works out the whole schedule in advance, second by second, and shows it to you before anything goes out.
That schedule is the same one the broadcast follows. There is no second system that might disagree with it — what you see on the chart is what viewers get, and if something ever departs from it, that departure is recorded against the schedule rather than hidden.
It is worked out from your files, not by playing them. Ask for the next seven days and you get the next seven days, immediately.
No laptop humming in the corner
The usual way to run a channel around the clock is to leave OBS open on a machine that is never allowed to sleep, never allowed to install an update, and never allowed to drop its connection. One reboot and your channel has been off air since Tuesday.
Streamhen runs it on our machines instead. Nothing is installed, nothing has to stay open, and your own computer has no part in it. Close the laptop, go away for a fortnight, come back and it is still going.
Full control while it is live
A broadcast is not something you set up once and then have to leave alone. Add a track, drop one, reorder the lot — while it is on air. Your changes take effect the moment the current track finishes, so nothing is ever cut off halfway, and the schedule redraws itself from that point on.
Pause it and pick it back up where you left it. Stop it. Start it again. Every one of those is immediate, and you watch the schedule rearrange itself as you go rather than finding out afterwards what happened.
Built to still be up tomorrow
A broadcast that stops at three in the morning is a broadcast nobody was watching by breakfast. When YouTube drops the connection or the network hiccups, Streamhen reconnects and picks the schedule back up where it should be. Every one of those moments is written down, so you can look back and see exactly what happened and when.
Things you will never be asked about
You should not need to learn how broadcasting works in order to broadcast. None of this appears anywhere in Streamhen:
- stream key
- RTMP URL
- bitrate
- H.264
- keyframe interval
- container format
- transcode
You choose the files and the order. Everything between that and a watchable channel is our problem.
$25 a stream, a month
That is the whole price list. No cap on hours, so a stream left up all month costs the same as one run for an afternoon. Want a second channel? That will be another $25.
