[Plugin Rebroadcaster] How to schedule pre-recorded video broadcasts simulated live

[gbrn]

@DanielnetoDotCom Danny, I'm testing the Rebroadcaster Plugin
I'm having trouble scheduling pre-recorded videos to create a simulated live experience.

I want to make the videos play in sequence, through the playlist, like a linear TV broadcast. Without a progression bar.

But... a common playlist sequence, the Playlist plugin does this on its own, independent of Rebroadcaster.

I accessed the Rebroadcaster Plugin Wiki, but there's little information.
https://github.com/WWBN/AVideo/wiki/Rebroadcaster-Plugin

I tried to create a configuration in Play Live... but I couldn't get anywhere:

@DanielnetoDotCom Basically, I need this to happen:

I'm having trouble scheduling pre-recorded videos to create a simulated live experience.

I didn't see any instructions showing how to do this or how it works.
Can you help me?

but this also may be intresting to you. https://github.com/WWBN/AVideo/wiki/VideoPlaylistScheduler-plugin

I still can't figure out how the VideoPlaylistScheduler Plugin works.

@DanielnetoDotCom Danny, I've read the wiki, but I just don't understand.
Where is this playlist displayed?
I don't see any new buttons.
Please make a video showing these features. I can't understand it.

I accessed the Rebroadcaster-Plugin Wiki:
https://github.com/WWBN/AVideo/wiki/Rebroadcaster-Plugin#7-how-it-works
There's nothing there that tells me how it works: "simulate a live streaming experience for AVideo users."

Here in this Program-(Playlist)-to-series wiki:
https://github.com/WWBN/AVideo/wiki/Program-(Playlist)-to-series#playing-a-live-playlist

Playing a Live Playlist
If you possess streaming permissions, you have the ability to play your playlist live. To initiate a live broadcast, follow these steps:

1. Navigate to the "Organize Programs" section.

2. Locate and click on the "Play Live" button.

3. A window will appear, prompting you to provide the following details:

• Live Name (Title)
• Description
• Start and Finish Datetime
• Loop Selection (Choose "Yes" to play the live broadcast continuously, 24/7)

After step 3? I don't understand what happens next...

For example... the Wiki does not inform how this is done, as per the example in the video below:

• How to add the TV GUIDE button.
• How to add this TV GUIDE data.
• How to add this LIVE TV player.

I am not sure what you are looking for, but this is not connected with the TV guide

it will be a livestream and it should appear as a live notification.

@DanielnetoDotCom Danny, the live notification doesn't appear here... is it necessary to enable these plugins?

[DanielnetoDotCom]

Yes, liveplugin is required

[gbrn]

I think this should be information that should be included in the Wiki.
I don't have the Live Plugin enabled because for me it was just... Broadcast a RTMP video from your computer and receive HLS streaming from servers.

[gbrn]

@DanielnetoDotCom Danny, I activated the LIVE Plugin. But it doesn't add the LIVE button to the bar... it only displays the "Broadcast a Live Stream" button.

I think a video explaining it would save you time explaining it and mine trying to figure out how it works.

Is your live working?
did you tested with OBS?
What does your stats say?
what does your log say?

[gbrn]

Danny, the thing is, I'm not doing a real LIVE.
I need a "fake Live", which is what the Rebroadcaster Plugin should deliver to me through a playlist. Simulate a live streaming experience for users.
I need something very similar to what happens on this sister platform AVIDEO.
If you explain to me how this works on this site below:

NO

the rebroadcast stream a VOD video, that is the "fake live"
you need your live server runing.
the EPG comes from live TV links, they are third party links, not mine, they provide the video and the EPG

the rebroadcast stream a VOD video, that is the "fake live" you need your live server runing.

@DanielnetoDotCom Danny, ok.

1- I need to stream VOD videos. How do I do this? By creating a playlist?

2- For all this to work, do I need a live server running? Is that it?

[DanielnetoDotCom]

1- I need to stream VOD videos.

To stream vod a single one use this https://github.com/WWBN/AVideo/wiki/Rebroadcaster-Plugin

How do I do this? By creating a playlist?

To stream a playlist use this https://github.com/WWBN/AVideo/wiki/VideoPlaylistScheduler-plugin

2- For all this to work, do I need a live server running? Is that it?

Yes correct, live is required in both

@danny, I need a playlist that has programming for 24/7, all the time. Similar to a cable TV channel. Based on a TV programming grid.
From what I understand, I need the VideoPlaylistScheduler Plugin.
When I purchased the Rebroadcaster Plugin, the promise that this could only be done with "Rebroadcaster" was valid. Then "VideoPlaylistScheduler" came along, reformulating this proposal.
Honestly, now I'm lost about what I should do. Do I have to purchase another plugin?

[DanielnetoDotCom]

VideoPlaylistScheduler requires the Rebroadcaster

VideoPlaylistScheduler is more a calendar and a scheduler integration
