Time and day information

Hey,

I would like to know if using nDVR information as time and day are stored together with recordings. Can I capture a recording, for example, of day February 11th, 2015 from 17:00 to 17:30? Is this possible?

Grateful now.

Hi,

If you have a continuous nDVR recording, and you wish to playback a certain segment of that recording, you can use the Wowza nDVR Playlist Request API and request the desired section of that recording, using the UTC Based Request Delegate.

Your nDVR request, for an Apple HLS stream, would look something like this:

http://[wowza-ip-address]:1935/dvr/myStream/playlist.m3u8?DVR&wowzadvrplayliststart=20150211170000&wowzadvrplaylistduration=1800000

If you want to enable nDVR recording for a live stream at one point and stop it some time later, you can use the nDVR AddOn recording API. Please take a look at the How to use Wowza nDVR AddOn recording API forum article for instructions on how to configure and use this API.
