What's new in Video Streaming

NewDrop or silence audio on a restream

A restream request accepts no_audio and no_audio_mode to drop the audio track or replace it with silence. YouTube rejects a stream with no audio track, so a restream to YouTube uses silence.

Restreaming

NewPlay VOD and live examples in demo players

Sample players cover VOD and live streams for HLS MPEG-TS, HLS CMAF, MPEG-DASH CMAF, LL-HLS, and LL-DASH. Each example includes a player link and a manifest link.

Schemas for videos, broadcasts, players, restreams, and playlists match the Streaming API.

Streaming API

NewUse a path-based RTMP ingest URL for legacy cameras

A legacy RTMP camera that cannot send a query string can place the push token in the path. The same form is accepted on the backup ingest URL.

Push link formats

ImprovedIdentify the active ingest region through the API

active_ingest_region_primary and active_ingest_region_backup show which region is receiving the primary ingest and which is receiving the backup. Each field returns that region code, or null when the ingest is inactive.

Push, pull, backup

NewSend restreams to SRT endpoints

A restream can push to an SRT endpoint in caller mode.

SRT parameters

NewProtect SRT ingest with a passphrase

An SRT PUSH stream can require srt_passphrase. The encoder sends the same value, and SRT encrypts the MPEG-TS ingest between the sender and Gcore. This does not encrypt playback URLs.
