Hi,

If I use StreamPublisher, is it possible the case that any playlist(Program) is blocked to start on a stream while another playlist is running based on prefixed schedule. After that stream (Program running) is completed, then a playlist can begin the new streaming?

Please let me know

Thanks

Hello Tomy,

The playlists should play in order if you set the start time in the past. More details in the S[tream Publisher article](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-schedule-streaming-with-wowza-streaming-engine-streampublisher#schedules_smil).
