§11.3

Ending a live broadcast

MSF-01 MSF-00 · View on IETF ↗

After publishing a catalog and defining tracks carrying live content, an original publisher can deliver a deterministic signal to all subscribers that the broadcast is complete by taking the following steps:

  • Send a SUBSCRIBE_DONE (See MOQT Sect 8.1.2) message for all active tracks using status code 0x2 Track Ended.

  • If the live stream is being converted instantly to a VOD asset, then publish an independent (non-delta) catalog update which, for each track, sets isLive Section 5.2.7 to FALSE and adds a track duration Section 5.2.35 field.

  • If the live stream is being terminated permanently without conversion to VOD, then publish an independent catalog update which signals isComplete Section 5.1.3 as TRUE and which contains an empty Tracks Section 5.1.4 field.

This is one section of MOQT Streaming Format, rendered per-section for quick reference and citation. The authoritative text is draft-ietf-moq-msf-01 at the IETF.
