Before you connect
Questions about Qencode.
The practical details behind the request, access and result.
Can I use Qencode to stream to multiple sites?
Yes, you can use the simulcast capabilities to send your live feed to places like YouTube and Twitch at the same time.
Does this support different streaming protocols?
It supports RTMP, WebRTC, and SRT, so you can choose the one that fits your setup best.
How do I know if my video is done encoding?
You can ask your agent to check the status of any task, and it will tell you the current progress and completion status.
Can I manage my CDN domains through the agent?
Yes, you can create new custom CDN domains directly through your agent to manage your video delivery.
Is this good for high-volume video processing?
It's built for that. You can automate the creation of transcoding tasks to handle large batches of video assets.
What happens if I need to change my stream settings?
You can change your settings like DVR configurations or other stream details without restarting the live broadcast.
How can I check if my video is finished encoding?
Use the get_task_status capability with your task tokens. It returns the current state such as 'downloading', 'encoding', 'saving', or 'completed' for one or more tasks.
Can I stream to multiple platforms like YouTube and Twitch at once?
Yes! First create a stream with create_live_stream, then use add_simulcast_target to add external destinations to your live feed.
Do I need to get an access token before every transcoding task?
Yes, you must call get_access_token to receive a session-based token required by the create_task capability. For live streaming, use get_live_access_token instead.
