I am looking for a simple stream scheduling solution for a pearl mini installed in a house of worship.
They stream to youtube only and do not need to record or cloud services so Kultura and Panapto are to robust.
any suggestions would be appreciated.
Unfortunately outside of the much larger CMS’, like Kaltura/Panopto, there are not really any other options that tie directly into automated remote control of a Pearl.
For something like YouTube there would need to be some level of manual start/stop of the RTMP feed going to YouTube. This can be done on Pearl itself from the front screen or remotely in the webUI’s
thank you for your reply George!
Is there a chance of a self contained scheduling start and stop stream feature be included with a future firmware update?
If it is not planned I would like to request one be made in the near future.
The AJA Helo has this feature and i purchased the more expensive pearl mini based on availability and now I am kicking myself for misunderstanding this capability on the Pearl Mini.
The development team is certainly aware of the desired feature, and it is on the list for consideration but we unfortunately cannot say as to when it will become available
+1, I know of at least house of worships looking for something similar!
I was reading about the API - what is the API command to start a stream? i was looking at
https://www.epiphan.com/userguides/pearl/Content/UserGuides/Streaming/maintenance/thirdPartyConfig/man_br_3rdParty_controlling_with_http.htm
There are two major types of commands: GET and SET commands.
GET commands are used to receive information from Pearl - such as notifying the status or reading off a value. The SET command is for executing a change on Pearl itself.
In order to utilize an HTTP API command for streaming you’ll need to use the “set” config command as well as the API key
Example: http://< IP address >/admin/channel< N >/ set_params.cgi ?key so it would look something like this:
ON
http://192.168.86.49/admin/1/set_params.cgi?publish_enabled=on
OFF
http://192.168.86.49/admin/1/set_params.cgi?publish_enabled=on
Hi Pete, I have just joined this forum, we are also a house of worship and we have just invested in a Pearl nano so as we can stream sermons from the pulpit on YouTube, we assumed that the nano has scheduling to YouTube capabilities, but by the sound of your post, it doesn’t ?
We have a camera pointing to the pulpit, this is hardwired back to the office in which the nano is located. It is not possible for us to have the office manned with somebody who is tech savvy to turn on the YouTube streaming as and when required. Have you come up with a solution ?

Found an example of Get config settings here.
