Hi there … I wonder if there’s any documentation that help optimize setting between Origin-Edge setting, mainly to reduce start latency on the Edge when first user connects …

Any advance setting available that could be use, it’d be of great help.

Thanks

Hellow @Gustavo Villegas,

Instead of setting up an Origin \<-\> Edge configuration you can try using Origin -\> Live (with Stream FIle) to maintain a constant connection. This way when a player request playback it will be available right away.
