Server playlists feature set of Nimble Streamer allows creating live streams by composing VOD files and live input streams into single playlists.
Basic workflow looks like this:
- Prepare files for further live streaming.
- Create JSON playlist which contains description of generated output live streams and their respective files' playback scenarios.
- Create Live Transcoder scenarios to re-align output if needed.
- Configure Nimble Streamer to use the designated JSON playlist.
- Nimble instance generates output live steams according to playlist.
- You can update the playlist any moment, it will be picked up by Nimble within playlist sync interval.
The playlist is a JSON file with a simple grammar which allows setting streaming scenarios of various complexity.
Notice that server playlist feature set requires Live Transcoder to operate so you'll need to subscribe for a license and install/register Transcoder on your server.
