Of Interest to YouTube Streamers

Of Interest to YouTube Streamers

Originally shared by Bern Rexer

There has been a change with how Stream Now works.

If encoder initiates a connection, then disconnects for only a short period of time (5min), then a new Watch Page URL is generated.

This may be a challenge for those who embed Stream Now players. And those who broadcast 24/7 streams with API encoders.

Previously it took a few hours of encoder disconnect before a new video ID was generated.

  1. You're kidding right? Just when I think I got it, Is this another change? As I have a plugin working with the embed stream on one of my website pages......

  2. Nice to have you back at the helm Andrew Hatchett. Hope you had a great trip. I look forward to hearing about your experiences, or a least what Homeland Security will allow you to share.

  3. Bill Graham, All I can say is "interesting changes may be forthcoming".

    The event itself was Awesomeness on Steroids! Great people, wonderful food, and intelligent conversation mixed with HighJinx. What more could one ask for.
