The link above describes a wowza capability that allows for the streaming of a pre-roll before a certain video stream starts or stops. I need this functionality plus I need the ability to recognize when the stream stops and send filler video. It seems this capability is available through the wowza apis - am I correct?

Hello,

The LoopUntilLive module will detect when the live stream stop and will revert back to the playlist. It sounds like this is what you’re looking for.

You can download this module and view the source for further information or to customize this.

Best regards,

Andrew
