5. Cyclic injection is not supported. It is not possible to inject stream1 into stream2 and then stream2 into stream1 without terminating the previous injection.

Injection implementation in builds before 5.2.1618

Injection management using REST API

REST query must be HTTP/HTTPS POST request as follows:

...

• test.flashphoner.com - WCS server address
• 8081 - standard REST / HTTP port of  WCS server
• 8444 - standard HTTPS port
• rest-api - mandatory URL part
• /stream/inject/startup - REST method used

REST queries and responses

{
 "localStreamName": "stream1",
 "remoteStreamName": "stream2"
}

[
 {
   "localStreamName": "stream1",
   "remoteStreamName": "stream2"
 }
]

{
 "localStreamName": "stream1"
}

Parameters

stream1

stream2

Injecting a VOD stream from file

Since build 5.2.1535 VOD stream directly from a file may be injected:

...

This feature is useful, for example, to inject advertising video into a stream being viewed.

Configuration

Since build 5.2.1235 the parameter is added to set a time interval to wait for a keyframe in injected stream

...

In this case, the stream to be injected to will be played until keyframe arrives in the injected stream.

Injection implementation in build 5.2.1618 and newer

Configuration

Since build 5.2.1618 a new injector implementation is added allowing to choose what exactly to inject: audio, video or both. The feature may be enabled by the following parameter

use_new_injector=true
