setup DVR for an existing ABR stream

Hi, I love the new DVR function. I was waiting on it for a long time.
Good job!
I read the release notes, that is it possible to setup DVR for an ABR stream.
Now I have setup a DVR rule with an ABR application name and stream name. But maybe it is the wrong way.
I have no output yet.

Hi,
let assume you have ABR stream name
http://yourhost/abrlive/stream/playlist.m3u8

To open dvr abr stream you just need to change your url to
http://yourhost/abrlive/stream/playlist_dvr.m3u8

and if you setup your streams recording you will get your streams playable from dvr archive

all Right,
So I add 3 DVR rules for the 3 different video quality.
DVR path must be the same for all streams of the ABR? or better separated from each other?

We recommend using 1 recording path per stream.

Hi Alex,
just adding _dvr doesn't work.
I can play each dvr stream and the abr, but just changing the abr url in the webplayer to playlist_dvr.m3u8 or playlist_dvr.mpd won't work for me.

Could you please send details to help@wmspanel.com ? We need stream URL to check it.

Thanks.
