• Record during Playback - Support of record from live video source to mp4 file compatible with all social networks
• Real time statistics - Statistics are calculated in real time: bitrate, latency in video and audio flow, number of frames in video flow
• Trimming - Support of cutting local files on several segments

Additional features:

• Smart thumbnails – Quick and simple API gets thumbnails for local files and live streams.
• Replay - Support of position change in live HLS streams
