How it works
From live detection to replay archive.
LiveVODS follows creators, records new streams in the cloud, enables live DVR playback, and keeps recordings organized by retention window.
Live check
Creator went live
Worker lease
Recording job acquired
HLS segments
00:00:02.ts - 00:34:20.ts
Playback
DVR timeline available
Follow creators
Search a creator or paste a stream link. LiveVODS keeps your followed list clean and records future lives automatically.
Detect live sessions
The system checks live status, avoids duplicate jobs, and starts one shared recording asset for each stream.
Record segmented video
Workers capture streams as HLS-style segments so playback can begin while the broadcast is still running.
Watch while recording
Open an active recording, rewind from the live edge, and jump back live when you are caught up.
Create clips
Trim a short moment from the archive without downloading the full stream or opening a heavy editor.
Apply retention
Recordings stay available according to your plan, with protected videos for streams you want to keep longer.
Live DVR
Watch the recording before the stream ends.
Because recordings are captured in small segments, active streams can be played back immediately. Join late, rewind, clip, and jump back live without waiting for a final file.
Shared assets
If many users follow the same creator, LiveVODS stores one recording asset and references it for each account.
Clip retention
Clips are saved separately from full recordings and count toward plan limits so useful moments stay easy to find.
Protected videos
Paid plans can protect important recordings inside quota instead of letting normal retention clear them.
