Use the Live2VOD feature

Dynamically create a manifest that points to segments of a live or archived stream.

The Live2VOD feature allows your stream viewers to request a VOD clip that was generated from a live non-ended or ended event.

  • startTime. Time in epoch format that the event begins or where you want to start the program from.
  • endTime. You can define a specific time in epoch format, but this is optional. If the endTime is not defined, MSL5 will generate a live event manifest for the stream.

You should provide a startTime within 31 days of the current time and the endTime should be no more than
startTime + 24 hours.

URL syntax

Use the CatchUp URL syntax:

https://[CDN_HOSTNAME]/hls/live/[stream_id]/[event_name]/master-archive.m3u8?startTime=$startTime&endTime=$endTime
