Configuration

Here you can find the reference of all the settings that you can apply to the module by editing your Wowza application’s Application.xml file. You can create and edit these properties using the Wowza Streaming Engine Manager’s user interface as well. These properties have to go into the <Properties> section of your file as follows:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Root version="1">
 <Application>
  <Name>live</Name>
  <!-- trimmed -->
  <Properties>
   <Property>
    <Name>captionWordsPerMinute</Name>
    <Value>60</Value>
   </Property>
  </Properties>
 </Application>
</Root>

HttpProviderCaptionApi

captionOutputType

Defines the emitted caption types in the surrounding Wowza application. (ie open, closed or open,closed). Default value: open,closed.

captionTrafficLogEnabled

Log each incoming caption request for debugging purposes. Default: true. It is recommended to set it to false in production systems to prevent excessive logging.

ModuleOnTextDataToCEA608

captionWordsPerMinute

The default word per minute setting that determines the duration of captions if the caption request does not override it explicitly.

charsPerLine

The maximum number of characters per line in captions.

ccRepeatNumber

The number of repeated emissions for each CEA608 message. Default value: 1.

captionMergeEnabled

Controls the behaviour of subsequent and time-overlapping captions. If turned on (default), then lines gets merged and the module keeps track of the calculated expiration time per caption. The caption sent earlier is expected to expire earlier and afterwards only the latter captions(s) are visible, until they all expire. In extreme cases the expiration times could lead to reverse disappear order (e.g. long caption followed by a short one): the module extends the duration of the last caption to prevent this illogical visual effect.

If set to false, then any caption sent in will clear any previous caption immediately.

Default value: true
