Possible to reset a live stream via server side modules

[confusedUser]

Hi,

I was wondering if there is a way to write a module that can reset a live stream? I've looked at the 'ILiveStreamTranscoder' and 'ILiveStreamTranscoderActionNotify', they both have 'resetStream' methods. Are these the only methods to fully reset a stream? I do not see a reset stream method on 'IMediaStream'.

Thanks.

You can reset a MediaCaster stream. You can use StreamManager or the MediaCaster API,

appInstance.resetMediaCasterStream("your.stream");

You cannot reset a live RTMP stream.

Hi Richard,

Thanks for replying. What does 'resetStream' method do in the 'ILiveStreamTranscoder' and 'ILiveStreamTranscoderActionNotify'.

This is actually private, it is not a method you would use in your module. It is used internally when the source changes.

I was just curious on what happens when that method is called. Does it just resets the transcoder or does it reset RTMP streams involved as well? Or rather that information is private too?

You should not call that method yourself. The ServerSide API does have a few of these private methods that really shouldn't be there but are at present. Notice that it says, "Called when the source stream changes". For the case that it is needed it is used internally. There is not another case for which it would be useful.
