Hello

We have a playlist list with vod - live - vod. How would we go about recording only the live stream in this scenario.

Since this is a stream class stream, how would we tie into the onpublish event of just the livestream? here do we tie in the ServerListernerStreamPublisher for this?

Thank you

Arpan

You can use the IMediaActionNotify3 interface in conjunction with the Live Stream Record API:

Hello,

But in a stream class stream, isnt the entire playlist 1 livestream? Putting an IMediaActionNotify3 on that would encompass the whole stream which we dont want. we only want the livestream portion of it, how would we determine in a stream class stream which one is an actual livestream and which is a vod when both are within the same playlist?

You will have to modify the example. In the onPublish method you would write the code to record the streams you want to record.

You may wish to use a naming convention to easily distinguish between streams to record, and streams to ignore.
