nDVR PlaylistRequestDelegate has no effect

Hi everybody,
i would like to introduce a timeshif tot one of my streams. To check how and if that is possible, i have played around with the nDVR option and its PlaylistRequestDelegate option.
However no matter what i try, my stream always starts live.
In the logs i get this warning:
DvrStartDurationPlaylistRequestDelegate : requestedStart:60000 < availableStart:776027. Using availableStart.

I understand that above PlaylistRequest is not equivalent to the timeshift funkcitonality, however at this point i am only trying to not get the current live-feed from the camera…
Stream is rtsp from a webcam and player is video.js
If you have any hints how to make the stream start at requested point in time, it would be great.

It looks like the DVR store starts at t=776 seconds and you are requesting a playlist starting at 60 seconds.
So it is assuming you want the playlist to start at 776 until the end

Also, where playback starts is often a function of the player. If there is a live part in the playlist, players using play at lie point. there is likely some player API to set the start point or to seek back to the beginning

Thank you for your reply.
You are right about the videoplayer. I tested a few others and finally was able to access the recorded stream.
Thank you!

woo hoo! glad its working
