Live / DVR (LiveSampleApp)

Plays HLS Live and Live DVR content with the live control layout, which shows a live indicator and DVR seek controls for streams that support them.

Key files

File Responsibility
MainActivity.java Builds an HLS Live video from placeholder values and starts playback.

Supplying a stream

This sample does not ship with a playable stream: live streams are ephemeral, so Brightcove cannot bundle a permanent one. In MainActivity.java, replace the YOUR_LIVE_HLS_STREAM placeholder with your own Video Cloud Live/DVR HLS stream URL and the YOUR_VIDEOCLOUD_PUBLISHER_ID placeholder with your publisher id. Until you do, the app builds and launches but has nothing to play.

See the Playback README for shared setup and requirements.
