Learn how to use the Wowza Video™ service to record a live stream while simultaneously allowing viewers to play or pause the live stream, rewind it to a previously recorded point, or resume viewing at the current live point.
Before you start
You must complete the following tasks:
- Create a transcoder configured to record. View Create a Custom Transcoder with Many Outputs and Targets in Wowza Video to learn how to create and configure the transcoder.
- Create a Wowza CDN stream target. Add the stream target you created to your transcoder by adding an existing target to an output on your transcoder. View Add a Stream Target to a Transcoder in Wowza Video to learn how to create a stream target.
Enable the Playlist Seconds property
Enable the Playlist Seconds property on the stream target. The Playlist Seconds property determines how far back viewers are able to rewind the stream.
- Under Advanced on the left nav, click Stream Targets.
- Select the new stream target you made on the Stream Targets page.
- Click the Properties tab on the Stream Target Details page.
- Specify any number of seconds between 6 and 28800 (8 hours). The default is 100.
- Click Save Changes.
