Local 24/7 YouTube Stream Dashboard & Controls

Manage your media loop, YouTube stream key, broadcast resolution, and ingest server. Telemetry panels switch automatically to track live connection health once your FFmpeg broadcast session is initialized.

Launch Streaming Studio

Click to load the interactive dashboard, prepare your local media, and start broadcasting.

3-Step Setup

How It Works

Start your 24/7 YouTube Live loop in minutes. No complex OBS setups or expensive cloud VPS required.

Install Helper App

Download and run the Pinku's Lab desktop helper. It runs silently in the background to handle heavy FFmpeg processing.

Add Video & Key

Open the web dashboard, select your local MP4 playlist, and securely enter your YouTube Live stream key.

Go Live 24/7

Click Start. FFmpeg handles the encoding and loops your videos directly to YouTube with live telemetry.

Streaming Pipeline

Local FFmpeg Encoding with Direct YouTube Ingest

The Windows Helper receives your selected local file, prepares it with FFmpeg, and sends the encoded output directly to YouTube's secure ingest endpoint while the dashboard tracks real runtime data.

Media queue

Selected Explorer videos are copied locally and shown in the broadcast queue before the stream starts.

Runtime watch

The watch changes from setup readiness to live duration after ffmpeg connects.

Route control

Quality, loop mode, and primary or backup YouTube ingest are reflected in the control dashboard.

Local media processing

Selected files are sent only to the Helper running on the same computer, stored temporarily for FFmpeg, and removed when the stream ends.

Key visibility

The dashboard only shows whether the key is loaded; the actual value stays inside the form/request.

Preflight dashboard

Before launch, readiness is calculated from selected media, stream key, and ffmpeg availability.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Learn how to stream pre-recorded video loops 24/7 on YouTube Live and configure local FFmpeg streaming.

Can I stream pre-recorded videos to YouTube Live 24/7?

Yes. Pinku's Lab is specifically designed to stream pre-recorded video playlists. By setting up the broadcast queue and enabling the loop option, your video list will play continuously in a loop 24/7.

How does the local Helper connect to YouTube?

The current desktop Helper runs FFmpeg locally and sends the encoded output directly to YouTube's secure ingest endpoint. The dashboard reads actual FFmpeg progress and connection status from the local Helper.

Do I need high-speed internet to stream 24/7 loops?

You need stable upload bandwidth above the selected video bitrate. A connection with at least 8 Mbps of consistent upload headroom is a practical starting point for 1080p, but results depend on network stability and encoder performance.

Is FFmpeg required for continuous playlist streaming?

Yes. The Windows Helper installs a verified FFmpeg engine on first launch and manages its lifecycle when preparing and sending the selected video to YouTube.

Is Pinku's Lab affiliated with YouTube?

No. Pinku's Lab is an independent open-source project. It is not affiliated with, authorized, maintained, sponsored, or endorsed by YouTube or Google LLC. YouTube is a trademark of Google LLC.
