How Would You Handle A Simple Live Stream

I've been using a JSON feed for a few channels and after a few tweaks here and there.....direct publisher works fairly well.

What if you do not want to offer anything on demand? What if you only want to provide a live stream.

The idea is closer to a real television channel. For example, when somebody clicks on the logo of your channel they go directly to your live HLS feed.

I realize I could put a live feed in the json file...but that gives the user an extra step.

In that case they click on the logo it displays everything in the json file which I imagine would be another image to click on to get the live feed.

I want to make it a one step process click on the logo and get the live feed.

Is that possible and how would that be accomplished?

hi 

from what i know , aside from the screensaver channels  - in all cases you click to "enter" the channel then you click again at least once to select what you want to see.

That's what it seemed like as well. Thanks for the input.
