Hello,
Is there any way to add delay to the Stream Targets to output with a delay? like 30 seconds ?
Thank you!

Hello, can you please describe you are trying to do here?
Are you talking about delaying the start time of a live stream? I am not quite sure what you are asking here.
Thank you,
Salvadore

Hello,
Applying a buffer to individual Stream Targets would require custom code.
A 30 second buffer is quite large but you can apply a sort buffer to an [Application](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-fix-unaligned-video-and-audio-with-a-server-side-sort-buffer) or [transcoder process](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-configure-a-sort-buffer-for-wowza-transcoder) and this would create a delay to all playback from the Application or transcoded streams.
Best regards,
Andrew

The RTMP is sending to the wowza engine and on certain Stream Targets there needs to be reached 30 seconds later then other Stream Targets.
A buffering internally. But only for certain Stream Targets
