Hi,

I have setup a live stream repeater using Origin Edge on demand(default) approach. If I understand correctly, all the different conversion of stream happens at the origin and not in the Edge.

I am ingesting RTSP stream from IP camera into the Origin Server and I want to get HLS and WebRTC stream from the Edge server. I am successfully able to test it but it works in a weird fashion. Following are my observations:

**Scenario 1**

1. Origin is setup to convert RTSP to both HLS and WebRTC

Now if I request an `HLS` stream from Edge, I am able to view it but it does not show up in the incoming streams tab on the Edge server Live Edge application. However when I request a `WebRTC` stream from Edge, a stream does show up in the `incoming stream` tab. Why does it not show up when I requested a `HLS` stream? am I missing something or is this how it is supposed to work.

**Scenario 2**

1. Origin is not setup to convert RTSP to HLS and WebRTC

Now if I request an `HLS` stream from Edge, I am not able to view it as I have disabled HLS playback on the origin However when I request a `WebRTC` stream from Edge, I am able to see the `WebRTC` stream from Edge. How is this possible? is the streaming being encoded to WebRTC on the Edge server?
