You can execute events for a channel while it’s running by adding events to the plan of the channel. StreamLive will perform the specified action at the specified time.
Viewing events
On the Channel page, click the name of the channel for which you want to configure events and select the Plan tab.
Creating an event
Click Create Event. Currently, the following event types are supported:
Input Switch：Change the input of a running channel.
Time Record: Record a specific segment of a running channel’s output.
SCTE-35 Time Signal：Configure a SCTE-35 time_signal event.
SCTE-35 Splice Insert：Configure a SCTE-35 splice_insert event.
SCTE-35 Return to Network：Configure a SCTE-35 return to network event.
Creating an Input Switch event
Event Type：Select Input Switch.
Event Name：Enter the event name, which can be up to 32 characters long, can contain numbers, underscores, and letters, and must be unique across the channel.
Start Type：Select Fixed Time or Immediate. Fixed Time: Execute the event at a specified time (UTC), which must be at least 10 seconds later than the event configuration time. Immediate: Execute the event immediately.
Input Attachment：From the inputs that have been bound to the channel, select one to change to.
Creating a Time Record event
Event Type：Select Time Record.
Event Name：Enter the event name, which can be up to 32 characters long, can contain numbers, underscores, and letters, and must be unique across the channel.
OutputGroupName：Select the output group to record. You can view the output groups of a channel on the Output Group Setting page.
ManifestName：Enter the name of the manifest file generated (you don’t need to include .m3u8 or .mpd in the name).
DestinationUrl：Enter the COS address to save the file.
Timing：Enter the time period (UTC) to record.
For SCTE-35 event, you can refer to the SCTE STANDARD - SCTE 35 2022
Creating a SCTE-35 Time Signal event
Event Type：Select SCTE-35 Time Signal.
Event Name：Enter the event name, which can be up to 32 characters long, can contain numbers, underscores, and letters, and must be unique across the channel.
Start Type：Select Fixed Time or Immediate. Fixed Time: Execute the event at a specified time (UTC), which must be at least 10 seconds later than the event configuration time. Immediate: Execute the event immediately.
Click Add to create several SCTE-35 Descriptors。
For each SCTE-35 Descriptor, you can set following information:
Segmentation Event ID：A 32-bit unique segmentation event identifier. Please enter an integer between 0 and 4294967295.
Segmentation Event Cancel Indicator：Indicates that a previously sent segmentation event, identified by segmentation_event_id, has been cancelled.
Delivery Restrictions：Correspond to SCTE-35 web_delivery_allowed, no_regional_blackout, archive_allowed, device_restrictions parameter.
Segmentation Duration：The duration of the segment in 90kHz ticks. Please enter an integer between 0 and 1099511627775.
Segmentation UPID Type：Correspond to SCTE-35 segmentation_upid_type parameter. Please enter an integer between 0 and 255.
Segmentation UPID：Correspond to SCTE-35 segmentation_upid parameter. Please enter a string which can contain up to 255 characters. Segmentation UPID can be empty only when Segmentation UPID Type is 0.
Segmentation Type ID：Correspond to SCTE-35 segmentation_type_id parameter. Please enter an integer between 0 and 255.
Segment Num：Correspond to SCTE-35 segment_num parameter. Please enter an integer between 0 and 255.
Segments Expected：Correspond to SCTE-35 segment_expected parameter. Please enter an integer between 0 and 255.
Subsegment Num：Correspond to SCTE-35 sub_segment_num parameter. Please enter an integer between 0 and 255.
Subsegments Expected：Correspond to SCTE-35 sub_segments_expected parameter. Please enter an integer between 0 and 255.
Creating a SCTE-35 Splice Insert event
Event Type：Select SCTE-35 Splice Insert.
Event Name：Enter the event name, which can be up to 32 characters long, can contain numbers, underscores, and letters, and must be unique across the channel.
Start Type：Select Fixed Time or Immediate. Fixed Time: Execute the event at a specified time (UTC), which must be at least 10 seconds later than the event configuration time. Immediate: Execute the event immediately.
Splice Event ID：A 32-bit unique segmentation event identifier. Please enter an integer between 0 and 4294967295.
Duration：The duration of the segment in 90kHz ticks. Please enter an integer between 0 and 8589934591.
Creating a SCTE-35 Return to Network event
Event Type：Select SCTE-35 Return to Network.
Event Name：Enter the event name, which can be up to 32 characters long, can contain numbers, underscores, and letters, and must be unique across the channel.
Start Type：Select Fixed Time or Immediate. Fixed Time: Execute the event at a specified time (UTC), which must be at least 10 seconds later than the event configuration time. Immediate: Execute the event immediately.
Splice Event ID：A 32-bit unique segmentation event identifier for SCTE-35 splice_insert. Please enter an integer between 0 and 4294967295.
Creating a Timed Metadata event
Event Type：Select Timed Metadata.
Event Name：Enter the event name, which can be up to 32 characters long, can contain numbers, underscores, and letters, and must be unique across the channel.
Start Type：Select Fixed Time or Immediate. Fixed Time: Execute the event at a specified time (UTC), which must be at least 10 seconds later than the event configuration time. Immediate: Execute the event immediately.
ID3: Please enter a fully formed ID3 metadata item (including both a header and a frame, as per the ID3 specification) and encode it as base64, which can be up to 1024 characters long.
For output in this channel that requires the passthrough of ID3 metadata, it is necessary to toggle on the ID3 Passthrough switch in the output setting.
Deleting an event
Find the event to delete, click Delete in the Operation column, and then click Confirm in the pop-up window. You can delete an event that hasn’t been executed or has finished, but not one that is being executed.
