Creating a stream with a VOD file

[studentAlanMorgan]

How to create a stream from a VOD file?
in the menu there are only links to a direct video file and a frame, but none of these options can create a broadcast to receive an rtmp link.
ant 2.9

The issue is resolved.
interferes with ":" in the link after the domain

[studentAlanMorgan]

This solves the problem partially unfortunately. When creating a broadcast, it freezes a lot and shows 1 frame every 5-10 seconds.
If you set the bitrate, the speed increases slightly, but it turns out that this is not available for the community version and they cannot create a broadcast without a bitrate.
It's all very sad.

Hi @studentAlanMorgan,
It is not entirely clear to me.
Can you please let me know what you are trying to achieve and share a reproduce scenario?

if you create a broadcast from a VOD file, it is terribly slow

missing menu items when broadcasting a VOD file

Thank you @studentAlanMorgan for your question and comments. Let me convert this to discussion so that you may discuss the question with AMS community.

as I understand:
The colon ":" is placed after the domain because, as planned, there should be a port there, but we remove the port by redirecting to port 80, in the end the ant removes the port, but forgets to remove the ":"

Hi @studentAlanMorgan,
When I create a playlist with a VOD file it works fine for me.
I don't see any such issues or slowness, etc.

Thank you.

For me it’s the other way around. Also note that there are not enough control elements in the stream menu, a screenshot is attached above.

Hi @studentAlanMorgan,
I can see all the options for the control elements.

Also since it is a VOD streaming, you should play with HLS and not WebRTC because since it is a VOD broadcast, there is no need for ultra-low latency and therefore you should use HLS for a better experience.

Also, I recommend you optimize the settings for a better playback experience. You can follow these instructions for the same.

Thank you.

hmm... why don't I have these menu items then?
also missing"Extradata" information

I don't have access to your server :)
Maybe you have an issue with installation or server initialization.
