Hi everyone !
For the broadcast of an Esport Event in August, I will use 900 secondes (15 minutes... yes very long !) "Stream Delay".
This is requested by the event organizer to avoid cheating.
I already tested such a delay during a 1 hour test event and so far so good.
But now there's a question when the show is over : what is the best way to stop automatically the stream without losing video buffer ?
A simple click on the stream button is bad as you lose the last 15 minutes of the show !
So :
- use a chronometer and click manually on "stop " ? Big fun.
- create a shortcut that will automatically stop streaming after 900 seconds ? How to do this ?
- other way ??
Thank you very much for any answers !
Regards.

Hello. You can make a script like this
sleep (900000)
API.Function("StopStreaming", Value:="1")
Assign it to shortcut,that you will run it when needed and wait for the rest..

Ending a stream like this, with or without the delay, is generally not recommended, because latency can present issues.
The commands to start/stop the stream aren't sent on the same timeline as the stream itself. So if the server you're streaming to is processing your video with, say, a 1 second delay, stopping the stream the moment it's over from your end will generally kill that stream and drop that last second.
That's why a lot of streams will have those "Thanks for watching" or whatever title cards up at the end for a minute or 2 before killing the stream.
