Hi,
I’m trying to make DVR work on HD Box. I’ve already make it work by press previous/forward button on the remote, using Wowza DVR link.
The next thing is: I want to provide seeking by TV program (ie, user click on the day schedule of a TV channel and choose the program to seek).
I’ve known that Wowza provide the playlist request API, following this topic:
https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-use-wowza-ndvr-playlist-request-api
There are 2 parameters that need to play: wowzadvrplayliststart & wowzadvrplaylistduration. Is there any way to make it work without the wowzadvrplaylistduration, because it will limit the play time, whereas user can play to live if they want.
And how about using UTC time? example: when user select a program:
1/ The box check current UTC time, and calculate the seek time (in second) and send seek time to Wowza.
2/ The box send UTC time to Wowza, and Wowza play the stream at that time.
I’m not a java developer. Hopefully there’s an easier way (than coding server side) to make it possible?
Thank you so much for your help.
