RTSP output from VOD with playstart

[Ahmed_Seddiq]

Hi,

I want to get RTSP output from VOD app and be able to start streaming from time offset, some thing like wowzaplaystart with HTTP protocols.

Kindly advice,

Thanks

Hello. @Ahmed Seddiq we can do this but it’s limited to the following

https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-specify-a-play-start-time-and-duration-for-http-streaming

You can also try this with the RTSP output, but a bit more complicated:

https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-insert-a-pre-roll-or-mid-roll-for-video-on-demand-playback-in-flash-rtmp-client

Lastly, look at this old post ( it’s very old ) but may help. They were trying to do the same thing.

Thanks for your reply @video streaming

I checked the above resources, it seems seeking is not supported for RTSP, So I will check If I can change the design to use one of the HTTP streaming protocols.
