Hello, we’re looking at a situation where we need to record incoming audio streams and offer the ability to play them back for up to 2 weeks. We also need to limit any particular playlist to a 5 hour max play time, and have the ability to start in 15 minute increments. Is this possible with Wowza? I’ve tried using the nDVR but I can’t seem to get the playlist to limit things, nor will the start time work correctly. Any help or direction would be most appreciated!

Thanks!
