Addstream

AddStream​

This call can be used to add or update streams, without modifying other streams. An example call:

{
  "addstream": {
    "streamname_here": {},//contents identical to streams call
    //multiple streams may be added/updated simultaneously
  }
}

It's usage is identical to the streams call, with the following changes:

  • Streams are never deleted when this call is used, only added or updated.

  • As such, sending an empty "addstream" request will not delete all streams.

  • The resulting "streams" reply from MistServer will not contain all streams, but instead only updated/new streams. To indicate this, a special stream ""incomplete list":1" is added to the list of streams.

}

As a reminder, the full list of optional parameters can be found through the capabilities call.
