How to fake a live stream by setting a 10 minute delay?

Thanks for the answer.

Hi Topsweety,

You can't obtain the 10minute delay in allowing the accessing the live game without loosing content if you want to manage by delaying at Flash Media Live Enocder or Flash Media Server.

One way to achieve this is you can use DVR functionality of FMS and record the live stream as it gets published from FMLE. When a user attempts to subscribe through the custom video player (that you may want to build), you can put in some logic on your video player to issue the NetStream.play  10mins behind.

NetStream.play(current_recorded_stream_length - 10*60, 0,-1,true)  // this plays the DVR content that is, recording in progress content

This will allow users to play the latest content but 10 mins behind from the actual live game event.

And in case (current_recorded_stream_length - 10*60) comes out to be negative in value then you would know you don't have 10mins of recorded game available for users to view the content yet. Hence you maybe need to apply some custom logic to put such requests in queue and  to allow playback for them when you have enough content recorded.

Hope this helps.

Thanks
