Live streaming should start at beginning

Hey there,

we are using Wowza Streaming Engine to stream ca. 5min long clips with ffmpeg from our internal servers to the Wowza Streaming Engine. These should be viewable live and as DVR recordings in our browser application.

It almost works fine, except for one point: If our application is opened a few minutes into the stream, but still while we are live streaming, the video player (we use Bitmovin for now, btw.) shows the stream somewhere in the middle. We’d like to have it start at the beginning of the live streaming, though.

All answers I have seen so far say to change the in the Application.xml (currently ‘live’) to default, but when I do that, I can’t see the live stream at all in the player.

How can I acheive this?

Thanks in advance,

Guy.
