how to set specific start time and end time of recorded liveStreams

[Bhavita Soam]

Hi,

Can you help me with the recorded live streams? I want to set a specific start time and end time for the "recorded" Livestream video. I have tried the way YouTube video does via embedding code snippet thing and setting start time and end time at the end of url, but of no use.

Hi Bhavita,

Unfortunately we don't have this feature exactly in AMS. As you can understand that AMS in a backend solution, it is a generic stream engine so you can start/stop a playlist or stream source by calling it's REST API at the specific start and end time of the stream.

For playlist creation you can check https://github.com/ant-media/Ant-Media-Server/wiki/Playlist#how-to-create-a-playlist

Are you looking for timed recordings or timed playback ? You can always use external scheduler and rest api to achieve what you want.

I am looking for timed playback. like, having an entrepreneur version which is having a feature to save a video in form of URL. I want to play it on specific time.

Hi Bhavita,

You can record and store your videos as MP4 VODs and can call rest api at the specific times when you want to start and stop the VODs publishing.

I believe times playback is a video player feature more than a media server feature.  If you are open to using custom players see this https://github.com/videojs/video.js/issues/2576
