I need to have the #EXT-X-PLAYLIST-TYPE:EVENT tag appear in my nDVR live streams chunklist

I also need to understand where in the system to place the header information.

I have tried every forum suggestion I can find and its not working.

these are the properties that are needing to be set.

cupertinoDVRPlaylistType: EXT-X-PLAYLIST-TYPE for nDVR playlists

cupertinoLivePlaylistType: EXT-X-PLAYLIST-TYPE for live playlists

cupertinoVODPlaylistType: EXT-X-PLAYLIST-TYPE for VOD playlists

Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi,

You can add those properties to HTTP Streamer / Properties in your Application.xml, e.g.

```auto
<Property>
    <Name>cupertinoDVRPlaylistType</Name>
    <Value>EVENT</Value>
</Property>
<Property>
    <Name>cupertinoLivePlaylistType</Name>
    <Value>EVENT</Value>
</Property>
<Property>
    <Name>cupertinoVODPlaylistType</Name>
    <Value>VOD</Value>
    </Property>

```
