we want to do this thing with live stream not recording.

Thanks in advance.

Hello @Adnan Baig, I believe you are asking how to implement DVR capabilities in a live stream. You’d like to be able to control the start and stop of the live stream in the player correct?

DVR capability enables your viewers to pause/resume playback of live streams and rewind backward in the live stream/fast-forward to current live playback point.

To support this feature in Wowza Player, you must enable and configure nDVR technology in Wowza Streaming Engine.

As fas as user/password protection between Engine and the Player, yes we allow for that. You can learn how to do that here:

Lastly to add graphic overlays for a banner stream, you can do that to and here is the doc for that. Yes, we do have consultants to suggest, but let me know if you were able to get it set yourself.

Here is a video on how to do the graphic overlay banner:
