Hi , we are in the process of evaluating Wowza as a service , we have a need in our app that the

availabilityStartTime in the generated MPD file for live streaming will be with milliseconds.

We noticed that Wowza generate MPD

"availabilityStartTime=“2019-02-21T13:41:37Z”

We would like something like this

"availabilityStartTime=“2019-02-21T13:41:37.600Z”

Is it possible with Wowza Streaming Engine?

Thank you

Hi,

It’s currently only possible to have the availabilityStartTime with the resolution set to seconds. If it’s important then please open a support ticket and we can add a feature request to make the resolution configurable. There would be no guarantee as to when or if the feature would be added.

Regards,

Roger.
