Notes
|
| /Root/Application | duplicateStreamsStreamNames | String | * | A comma-separated list of stream names. Use the wildcard (*) character by itself to indicate all streams will be duplicated or to substitute for characters at the beginning or end of stream names. For example: *_720p,*_360p,*_240p,*_160p. (default: *) |
| /Root/Application | duplicateStreamsTargetVHostName | String | _defaultVHost_ | Name of target virtual host (VHost). (default: _defaultVHost_) |
| /Root/Application | duplicateStreamsTargetAppName | String | [application-name]/_definst_ | Name of the target application/application instance. |
| /Root/Application | duplicateStreamsStreamNameSuffix | String | _dest | Suffix to add to the stream name on the target application instance. Set to an empty string to have the same name published on the target. (default: _dest) |
Usage
When a stream is published to the configured application, the stream name is checked against the values in the duplicateStreamsStreamNames property, and if a match is found, the stream is re-published to the application specified in duplicateStreamsTargetAppName. When the source stream is unpublished, the duplicate stream is also shut down.
