Questions
Before you pick the Cue Reseller Panel
What is a media control panel?
It is where a streaming provider and its customers manage their media services without touching the server: stations and channels are created there, encoders get their settings there, players and statistics live there, and each customer stays inside the package they bought. The Cue Reseller Panel does this for radio, live video, 24/7 TV and on-demand libraries on one dedicated server of yours.
Who is the Cue Reseller Panel for?
For anyone who wants to sell streaming under their own name: radio hosts, video hosts, agencies and resellers of resellers. You sign up resellers, they sign up customers, and everyone sees their own brand and their own services.
How is it different from MediaCP or WMSPanel?
MediaCP sells the same kind of panel, and most of what it does this panel does too. The differences: this one also runs on Windows Server, and it plays your radio stations itself instead of needing SHOUTcast or Icecast servers. WMSPanel is something else, a cloud console for Softvelum’s Nimble Streamer, without resellers, radio, video libraries or billing modules. The comparison above shows all twelve points.
Does it work with WHMCS, Blesta, ClientExec or WiseCP?
Yes. Their modules provision, suspend, unsuspend and terminate services as invoices are paid or fall due. Each account can have its own API keys, and signed webhooks report every change.
Can my resellers put their own brand on it?
Every reseller can set a logo, an accent colour, support contacts, a language for their customers and a panel address on a domain of their own, which gets its certificate automatically. You can also hide the name of the software from everyone.
Which streaming engines does it run?
Radio needs no engine at all: the panel’s own stations speak SHOUTcast and Icecast to players and encoders, with AutoDJ and live DJs. Live streams run on Cue Media Server or on Wowza Streaming Engine, which the panel manages through Wowza’s REST API, one application per stream with its own password, viewer cap and restream targets. TV and on-demand run on Cue Media Server. Flussonic comes next.
What happens when a payment is late?
If the panel’s license lapses, the panel locks straight away, but the streams stay on air for another seven days. Nobody’s listeners or viewers are cut off without warning.
