Hello,
Hi @ojo1,
To start at the live edge, you can use the Video node's PlayStart field. In this case, you can do something like this:
PlayStart(some large number) (for example, PlayStart(9999)
The media player will figure out that the live edge is wanted and will automatically set itself to 30 seconds behind it (this is the default setting for smooth buffering and no re-buffering events).

Thanks you!
The documentation talks about negative value to allows "the media players to start playbacks distanced from the edge of the live stream". This is confusing...
Actually I found that solution after having accidentally put a bookmark position to a live stream!

@ojo1 I did put the playerStart to a big number like said in the previous comment. But, still, the live playback is starting only from 20 seconds behind !!. Any idea what could cause that issue ??
I use the playStart field with the current time as seconds,
ex:
I've not found any documentation nor trick to proper start streaming a Dash video with timeshift at its live position.
Currently I observe stream duration then seek to that duration for this but it causes an unwanted audio video glitch.
Any help please?
