Auto Muxed TS

This component muxes a single audio stream into every video rendition, producing one MPEG Transport Stream per rendition (audio and video together). The generated multivariant therefore has no separate audio rendition group — unlike output.autoHls and output.autoCmaf, whose renditions reference a shared audio group. Use this when a downstream consumer (for example an ad-insertion service) expects self-contained muxed TS renditions.

Rules

Exactly one audio stream is required; it is muxed into each rendition.
One or more video renditions are required.
Audio is packaged onto the video segment boundaries, so the video segmentation strategy (e.g. an exact frame count) governs segment length; there is no separate audio segmentation.

Publishing

This component is push-only: it publishes to the configured destinations and does not serve local-pull playlists. Configure at least one destination.

Component Configuration

Option Description Required Environment override

Option	Description	Required	Environment override
id	A unique identifier for the component instance	✓
displayName	The name shown in the Studio UI of this component	✓
name	The name of the multivariant playlist (default: "default")	✗	`<COMPONENT_ID>_NAME`
sessionId	Generate a unique session id per run to avoid cache collisions (default: true)	✗
notes	Additional notes about this component	✗
segments	Detailed segment configuration	✗	`<COMPONENT_ID>_SEGMENTS`
destinations	Destination to publish to (default: [])	✗	`<COMPONENT_ID>_DESTINATIONS`
local	The engine's own local (pull) copy of the playlists. Enabled by default; its retention is independent of the pushed destinations, so keep it short unless something pulls a long tail directly from the engine.	✗
pdtEverySegment	Insert Program Date Time every segment (default: true)	✗
initialState	The publishing state of this endpoint by default on start-up (default: "enabled")	✗	`<COMPONENT_ID>_INITIALSTATE`
discontinuityHandling	What to do when a gap or discontinuity is encountered. 'Prefer Discontinuity' also aligns the audio and video onto a shared clock (required for muxing independent sources). (default: "discontinuity")	✗
pdtSource	What to use for Program-Date-Time - Norsk time or (where available, e.g. from SEI timecodes) source time (default: "norsk")	✗
addCmsdHeaders	Add CMSD headers (default: false)	✗

<COMPONENT_ID>_DESTINATIONS

local

The engine's own local (pull) copy of the playlists. Enabled by default; its retention is independent of the pushed destinations, so keep it short unless something pulls a long tail directly from the engine.

✗

pdtEverySegment

Insert Program Date Time every segment (default: true)

✗

initialState

The publishing state of this endpoint by default on start-up (default: "enabled")

✗

<COMPONENT_ID>_INITIALSTATE

discontinuityHandling

What to do when a gap or discontinuity is encountered. 'Prefer Discontinuity' also aligns the audio and video onto a shared clock (required for muxing independent sources). (default: "discontinuity")

✗

pdtSource

What to use for Program-Date-Time - Norsk time or (where available, e.g. from SEI timecodes) source time (default: "norsk")

Add CMSD headers (default: false)

✗

Options with an environment override can be set when Studio starts, without editing the workflow. <COMPONENT_ID> is this component’s id in your workflow, uppercased, with spaces and dashes replaced by underscores and other punctuation removed — a component named SRT Input reads SRT_INPUT_PORT. Renaming a component changes its id, and so changes these variable names.

Segments

Option	Description	Required
retentionPeriod	How many seconds of data to retain for playback in media playlists (default: 60)	✗
defaultSegmentCount	How many segments to display in a default playlist (0 means show all) (default: 0)	✗
targetSegmentDuration	How many seconds should be in each segment (default: 4)	✗
targetPartDuration	For low latency playlists, what size parts should be generated in seconds (default: 1)	✗
audioSegmentStrategy	Detailed segmentation strategy. Must be configured to match segment duration (after rounding) or invalid playlists may be generated (default: {"type":"default"})	✗
videoSegmentStrategy	Detailed segmentation strategy. Must be configured to match segment duration (after rounding) or invalid playlists may be generated (default: {"type":"default"})	✗
integralSegmentDuration	Round segment durations in playlist to integers instead of true decimal value. Possible workaround for certain player issues. (default: true)	✗
holdBackSegments	How many segments back should a player start	✗
holdBackParts	How many parts back should a player start	✗
lowLatency	Produce low-latency HLS (EXT-X-PART / blocking reload). Turn this off for standard, CDN-cacheable playlists with no parts — recommended when delivering through a caching CDN. (default: true)	✗
