Kinesis Video Stream Available Playback Modes
LIVE
In LIVE playback mode, the HLS (HTTP Live Streaming) media playlist is dynamically updated with the most recent media segments as they become available. When this mode is selected in a media player, it typically displays a “live” indicator and does not provide a scrubber control to navigate through the playback timeline. This mode is ideal for real-time viewing where the most current stream content is immediately displayed.
Used shortcode parameter:
protected=false kinesis_video_stream=true kinesis_video_stream_stream_name=”hls_player_pro_demo” error_fallback_image=https://hls-player-pro-demo.root-sector.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/live-streaming-isnt-available-right-now.png
LIVE REPLAY
LIVE REPLAY mode allows playback to start from a specified timestamp while still updating the HLS media playlist with new media as it is ingested. The playback continues seamlessly from the chosen start time to the present, incorporating any new media until the session expires or a predetermined end time is reached. This mode is particularly useful for reviewing events from a specific starting point and then continuing to stream live content that becomes available during the session.

ON DEMAND
In ON DEMAND playback mode, the HLS media playlist is constructed based on the media segments specified by the HLS fragment selector. This mode enables full control over the playback window, allowing users to specify both start and end timestamps. When played in a media player, it typically features a scrubber control, enabling viewers to navigate to any point within the specified media range. This mode is perfect for accessing and reviewing specific segments of recorded content.
