The live feed is detected but not playing yet

💻 Environment/Context

  • Live
  • Live ingest
  • Feed
  • Feed detected
  • Live stream

 

❓ Issue/Question

  • The feed isn't playing
  • The live stream shows as detected, but you can't watch it yet
  • You can see the live event in the schedule, but the stream isn't available to play

 

👌 Resolution/Answer

  • Wait a few minutes (up to 5 mins). When a live signal is first detected, the stream goes through a brief ingest startup phase before it becomes playable
  • You'll know it's ready when the status changes from Live feed detected, starting ingest to Live
  • Once the status shows Live, open the stream to watch it
  • If the stream doesn't transition to Live after several minutes, reach out to the ScorePlay Support team via Live Chat for further assistance

 

🥚 Cause (optional)

  • When a live signal is first received, ScorePlay needs a short processing window to begin ingesting the feed before the stream becomes playable — this is expected behaviour
