The Stream object contains information on how the stream is to be played, recording, DVR, stream protection, and Google Analytics settings.
Record settings for the stream are configured using record, record_type, segment_type and segment_value. Record determines if a stream should start recording when it is published. Record Type controls how the file name is versioned. Segmenting will split recorded files into chunks by size, duration, or based on a cron value.
For DVR users you can control how much of a buffer the dvr provides and how long to wait for an encoder to reconnect.
Stream authentication can be enabled using a username and password that is required for encoders to connect. By default this is disabled, but can be enabled by setting the username and password fields.
Further streams can enable playback protection using SEVU.
Viewer data can be tracked and sent to Google Analytics when provided with a proper key.
Application Name
The application name must begin with "username-"
Sample value:username-origin
Stream Name
May only contain alpha numerical characters, dashes (-), and underscores (_)
Sample value:mystreamname
Type of Stream
Enum:live, channel, switchboard, streamfetch
Default:live
Sample value:switchboard
Playback Protection Type
Enum:none, sevu, hmac, geoip
Default:none
Sample value:sevu
[Not Implemented] Playback Protection Key or list of IP addresses to allow/block.
Protection of hmac requires a protection key, while none or sevu will have a protection key of null
Sample value:secret#STRING@of&charact3rs
Only for:
protection: hmac
protection: geoip
[Not Implemented] Select a transcode template to apply to this stream
Integer
Sample value:720p@30fps_1536kbps
How long to wait for the stream to reconnect
Range:10 - 1200
Default:10
Sample value:300
Username for stream authentication
May only contain alpha numerical characters, dashes (-), and underscores (_)
Sample value:myuser
Recording Segmentation
Enum:disabled, schedule, duration, size
Default:duration
Sample value:schedule
Recording Segmentation Value: the value is dependant on which segement_type is set. For size and duration a numerical value is expected. Schedule expects a cron expression. Disabled will set this field to null.
Segment type of duration or size must have a segment value that is an integer, schedule must have a valid crontab expression, and disabled must have a segment value of null
Default:1440
Sample value:* */2 * * *
Only for:
segment_type: schedule
segment_type: duration
segment_type: size
Folder to save recordings too
Folder names may contain lower case letters, numbers, dashes (-), and underscores (_), but must start and end with a letter or number.
Sample value:recordings/mystream
Advanced Stream Flags, multiple flags can be combined using a logical AND
Flags:
Default:0
Sample value:10
Origin URL
Sample value:rtmp://username-origin.secdn.net/username-origin/live
Origin URL with stream name
Sample value:rtmp://username-origin.secdn.net/username-origin/live/mystream
Backup Origin URL
