Finding the collection ID and start timecode of a live stream

💻 Environment/Context

  • Live ingest
  • Stream details
  • Copy to Clipboard missing from Live Media
  • API

 

 

❓ Issue/Question

  • Where can I find the live stream details - "Asset ID", Stream Url
  • Initially, there used to be a 3-dot option in the top-right corner, and within that menu, there was an option to Copy to Clipboard.
  • I need to get the media ID, collection ID and timecode of the live ingest.

 

👌 Resolution/Answer

  • Take the media ID from the URL → The number after /media-details/ is the media ID:
    • https://{tenant}.scoreplay.io/live/media-details/123879155?tab=live-media
  • Call the media endpoint with it:
  • Read the two values from the response:
    • Collection ID → event_id1323126
    • Start timecode → video.timecode 10:34:46:00
                                           
 

 

🥚 Cause

  • The Copy to Clipboard option has been removed with the new Live ingest update and the details can now be retrieved via API

 

🔖 Notes 

  • The collection name and its full hierarchy are also in the response, under event.name and event.full_path
  • video.timecode is a frame-accurate timecode (HH:MM:SS:FF), not a Unix timestamp.
  • Live stream is not working
