🎬 BIG UPDATE SOON: Linear TV
We are turning CST+ into a full broadcast playout. You will run real 24/7 channels with the polish of a professional master control room, with no extra software and nothing to install. Your content goes to air live, no pre-render, with proper Preview and Program monitors side by side. What you see is what your viewers get. 🧩 Graphics are the heart of it. Text, lower thirds, logos, clocks, tickers, tables, scoreboards and more, composited into the live stream in real time. Take a graphic to air or clear it instantly, and the channel never drops a frame. The station logo goes on or off with a single click. You get the things broadcasters expect: a countdown to the next clip, playlist remaining and total, an as-run log, and a rundown with start times. Cut to any clip, pause, jump back and forward, all live. 🎛️ Drive the whole channel from a hardware mixer or MIDI console, or bind your own keyboard shortcuts. Your workspace is tabbed, resizable and remembers your layout. One platform. Your content, your graphics, your channel, on air in minutes. This is the biggest update we have shipped. Stay tuned.

The self-hosted architecture here is what makes CST+ competitive against cloud streaming platforms. Near-zero CPU cost per channel combined with multi-server fleet management and geo-routing keeps delivery costs minimal for broadcasters. Wh
Crypto payment support is a smart move for streaming. Bitcoin and Ethereum integration makes it accessible to global audiences who prefer decentralized payment options. Great execution on the NOWPayments integration.

cool, it's much cheaper than flussonic. but it still has the key features like epg. the interface is a bit rough, but it's a solid, affordable option for smaller broadcasters.
very interesting

Built this after seeing cloud playout bills kill small channel operators. Render once, air forever, from your own server. Happy to answer anything about the stack or the road ahead.
