When I travel, I expect that I'm not engaging my audience and that I'll lose viewers/subs/etc. The rerun functionality right now is a way to give viewers a reason to hang out while watching content - but it's too hard to do. Someone has to manually manage each days list of videos, manually start it, manually start it, and frequently communicate in chat that it's not in fact a live stream.

Here's how I believe it'd be solved and would increase streamer quality of life:

1) Allow the scheduled start and stop of Re-Run playlists.

2) When scheduling the stop, pause the playlist in it's current position.(so that I could add lets say 40 videos, and have it pause after video 10 and resume at video 11 the next day)

3) Have a pre-defined pre-roll video that viewers watched before they watched the re-runs with others. ("Hey guys, I'm on vacation until July 3rd, so what you're about to watch are re-runs! They'll play everyday while I'm gone - so hang out and can't wait to see you when I'm back!"

This allows me, without hassling moderators, to schedule easily content while away, prevent confusion, and have a less stressful time away with better retention.
