Frequently Asked Questions

Planet Hosts Studio is a professional desktop application for radio broadcasters. It connects to the Planet Hosts platform, allowing DJs to stream live audio, manage queues, and monitor their station in real time.
Yes! Planet Hosts Studio is completely free to download and use. You only need an active Planet Hosts radio hosting account to connect and start broadcasting.
Planet Hosts Studio runs on Windows 10/11 (tested and working), macOS 12+ (both Apple Silicon and Intel) (has not been tested please report bugs), and Linux (Ubuntu 22.04+, Fedora 38+) (has not been tested please report bugs).
Yes, you need an active Planet Hosts radio hosting account to use the studio. The desktop app connects to your hosted radio station to manage and broadcast.
Currently, Planet Hosts Studio is designed to work exclusively with the Planet Hosts platform for authentication and station management.
Log in, select your station, configure your encoder connection (server/port/password/mount) from the Encoders panel, add music to a playlist, load it into AutoDJ, and press Start. See the User Guide for details.
Make sure music is actually playing (AutoDJ started or a deck playing). Check the Encoders status and the Log Viewer. If the log shows no "Sending X kB/s", the encoder isn't getting audio โ€” restart the app. See Troubleshooting.
Set a chat URL in Settings โ†’ Chat. For automatic login, generate a token URL at https://planet-hosts.com/user/chat โ†’ Desktop / Embed Tokens. On Windows 10, install the Microsoft Edge WebView2 Runtime and click Reload in the Chat tab.
No. Muting a source (the M button) only silences your local speakers โ€” the encoder keeps broadcasting to the website. This lets you check things privately without going off air.
In the Playlist Manager (or the AutoDJ panel), select a playlist, choose a time and an optional weekday, then click Schedule. Scheduled playlists persist and can be enabled/disabled per entry.
You can report bugs through our Discord server, GitHub issues page, or by using the contact form on this page. Include the crash log (%APPDATA%\PlanetHostsStudio\crash.log) if the app crashed. We typically respond within 24 hours.
