Hello!
Is there any way to get DVR hls/dash manifest begins from a given position?
For example, I have broadcast for 24/7 live with 10 hour DVR.
I want to create a separate broadcast for an event (like a football match) that starts now and I want to use the same stream, but I don’t need the entire 10 hour DVR I have.
Is there some way to do this?
Thank you

Hey there @mikhail_Kartashov, haven’t heard from you in awhile, hope you’re doing well. I checked for you with our nDVR engineer and he said you would want to use **playlist request delegate**. to accomplish this.
Here is the doc for it:
[https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-use-wowza-ndvr-playlist-request-api#using-the-playlist-request-delegate ](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-use-wowza-ndvr-playlist-request-api#using-the-playlist-request-delegate%C2%A0)
There are two default ones.
The standard one uses a 0 based offset from the start of the stream. The alternative one uses a UTC based time.
You basically use a start and duration as query params to define the playback window.
If you have any issues setting it up, feel free to submit a support ticket and an engineer will walk through it with you until it functions the way you’d like.
