Rebroadcaster Plugin

The Rebroadcast Schedule Tool is an advanced feature designed to simulate a live streaming experience for AVideo users. Instead of going live in real-time, users can schedule pre-recorded video files to be broadcast as if they were "live", allowing for a curated live viewing experience without the need to be present. This tool offers the added benefit of restreaming, enabling users to repeat the simulated live broadcast at additional scheduled times.

Usage

Scheduling a Video Broadcast

1. Navigate to the "Videos Manager" within your AVideo platform.

2. In the Videos Manager, locate and select the video you want to schedule for broadcast.

3. You will see a button labeled "Schedule Broadcast." Click on this button to initiate the scheduling process.

4. A new window will open, providing options for scheduling the broadcast:

   • Date: Select the date and time when you want the broadcast to occur.

   • Status: Choose one of the following status options:

     • Active: The broadcast will be executed according to the specified schedule.
     • Inactive: The broadcast will be ignored and not executed.
     • Executed: Indicates that the broadcast has already been executed.

5. Once you've configured the date and status, save your settings.

6. If the selected date and time are equal to or earlier than the current time, the broadcast will be executed immediately.
