❓ Issue/Question

  • How does the Live section work?
  • Where do I find my live streams, recordings and schedules?

 

👌 Resolution/Answer

  • Open the Live section
    • Click Live in the left menu. Live Media opens in the List view by default
  • Browse your live events in the List view
    • Each live event shows as a card with its name, date, collection, schedule (start and end time), tags and status
    • Live streams and recordings sit in the same list, so you don't switch between tabs
    • Use the Live filter to show only the events that are live right now
    • Click a card to open the event
  • Switch to the Calendar view
    • Click Calendar in the List / Calendar toggle. Click List to go back, without losing your place
    • The calendar shows every event of the day from 00:00 to 23:59, by receiver group, receiver and pull receiver
    • A vertical line marks the current time
    • Use the arrows next to the date to move to another day
  • Follow the status of each event
    • Each event shows one status: Scheduled, Probing, Feed Detected, Live or Recorded
    • Statuses refresh on their own, so you don't need to reload the page. Updated Xs ago shows when they last refreshed
