It is possible though you have to use a .SMIL file to do that. As I
understand it it you can "break in" as it where in a (semi) live
stream if the (life) stream is triggerd from a .SMIL file. This file
must also contain the timecodes that trigger the "silences" e.g. the
"adds". Furthermorein the same content dir on the server and it must
have the same name as the (semi)live stream. I'm looking into this
myself and if I have some more info (or tips and tricks) I'm willing
to share the knowledge with you.
