The "Streams" Section
Field |
Description |
Valid Usage |
Stream |
This is a link to the stream's page where we show you the origin base URL and publishing URLs. |
Remember, this is the stream name to send with your encoder. |
Application |
This is the *chorigin* application, that you will send a stream to. Be sure it is correct. |
Generally, accountname-chorigin |
User |
The username authorized to send this stream is listed here. |
You can use the same user each time, or different ones, depending on your business rules. |
Password |
You can update password for this user here. |
Use passwords that meet your business security requirements. You never have to transmit the actual password, you can always provide the Origin Base URL with a hashed password, so users won't know the actual passwords you have set. |
Revoke |
Click this to delete the stream, and its user and password. |
You must re-create any stream if you revoke a stream. |
Status |
This graphic is greyed out if you are not streaming yet, and is Green if you are streaming. |
Stream status is only relevant to this particular live stream, not the list stream. |
