DTSC input
Load DTSC files as Video on Demand sources, or dtsc:// URLs from other instances for live sources. This is the optimal method to pull live sources from MistServer compatible instances.
DTSC Core
Every input within MistServer requires a Stream name and Source to understand what these mean exactly we recommend reading up on Stream settings

DTSC Optional configurations
| Option | Description | Type | Default | API | Commandline |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Buffer time (ms) | The target available buffer time for this live stream, in milliseconds. This is the time available to seek around in, and will automatically be extended to fit whole keyframes as well as the minimum duration needed for stable playback. | Number (unsigned integer) | 50000 | DVR | --buffer |
| debug | The debug level at which messages need to be printed. | debug | Inherited from parent process | debug | --debug |
| Memory page timeout | For bufferless or live inputs like HLS, set the timeout in seconds for old, inactive pages to be deleted. A longer value results in more memory usage, but ensures that recently buffered data stays in memory for longer | Number (unsigned integer) | 15 | pagetimeout | --pagetimeout |
| Simulated Live | Make this input run as a simulated live stream | Flag | Unset | realtime | --realtime |
| Segment size (ms) | Target time duration in milliseconds for segments. | Number (unsigned integer) | 1900 | segmentsize | --segment-size |
| Always on | Automatically starts this stream, regardless of viewers requesting it or not. Only available if the source is set to one of: dtsc://* | Boolean | false | always_on | undefined |
