Live/recorded check/high-light

Posted: Feb 20, 2010

Is there any chance to have such feature?

If there's a live broadcast online - to get an overlay in my player saying "Live", or see "Live" in html content.

And if there is a record playing (DVR) - then i see "Recorded" instead of "Live"

Is it possible to check this with API?
Is there any variable saying live or not?

Hi, this would require a customisation on both the backend and frontend. What streaming server ?

The FMS application for the live stream would need a customisation to detect that a publish is happening, assuming its just one stream, then make a call to the connected clients. A plugin in flowplayer would then accept those calls and do something with the overlay and play the publish name. I'm guessing this is what you are after.

Im not sure what you mean by DVR, do you mean a live stream of a recorded file not a webcam as in a server playlist ? It would need something like if not publish name DVR the status is live kind of thing as both of them are live streams not VOD.

Thanx for that!

I'm just not experienced in programming. is it a complexed coding to detect the live stream?

DVR is a recording to server during live stream. It allows to watch the recorded stream just after the streaming ends - very cosy thing, but often user cant recognize - is it live or recorded - that's the point of my request.

Could you help with the codes? i guess it would be useful for many people who stream and use DVR... maybe there's something like a sample already?
