How it works
From live detection to replay archive.
LiveVODS follows creators, records new streams in the cloud, processes them into replay archives, and keeps recordings organized by retention window.
Live check
Creator went live
Worker lease
Recording job acquired
HLS segments
00:00:02.ts - 00:34:20.ts
Playback
Replay processing
Follow creators
Search a creator or paste a stream link. LiveVODS keeps your followed list clean and records future lives automatically.
Detect live sessions
The system checks live status, avoids duplicate jobs, and starts one shared recording asset for each stream.
Record segmented video
Workers capture streams as HLS-style segments so playback can begin while the broadcast is still running.
Process the archive
When the broadcast ends, LiveVODS finalizes playback, thumbnails, and clip-ready metadata.
Create clips
Trim a short moment from the archive without downloading the full stream or opening a heavy editor.
Apply retention
Recordings stay available according to your plan, with protected videos for streams you want to keep longer.
Archive replay
Watch the finished recording cleanly.
After a stream ends, LiveVODS finalizes the archive for smooth playback, timeline previews, clipping, downloads, and retention controls.
Shared assets
If many users follow the same creator, LiveVODS stores one recording asset and references it for each account.
Clip retention
Clips are saved separately from full recordings and count toward plan limits so useful moments stay easy to find.
Protected videos
Paid plans can protect important recordings inside quota instead of letting normal retention clear them.
