Hi,
I have a requirement to have around 50 applications broadcasting live for most of the day, but then at midnight for a few hours for it to play some form of recording (either mp4 or even to display a simple jpg) and then at a later time to return to the live stream. My preferred option would be a tiny jpg file as it will just sit on the users screen instead of a 6 hour video of a black screen with text saying ‘back later…’
I am currently using the type of ‘live’ for the main part but am not sure how I would switch each application to be type ‘none’ (I think) in order to play an mp4 or flv file.
My idea was to have a seperate .stream file somehow to have a url to the mp4 but I cant seem to get that working im thinking because of the ‘live’ stream type. I am happy and have already got working a method using the command line java code to stop and start streams which will enable me to do that if it is needed and cant be done within the server. But to be honest I dont want to have 50 (possibly more in the future) application configurations that I then have to go round to change the type.
What other options do I have to this ?
On a side note the web application uses http streaming to the wowza server using manifest.f4m files if that has any relevance or could help?
