Parameters

Parameter	Description	Default	Range
Media Access	Relative URL path for live HLS segments (e.g., `/media.m3u8`).	`media`	—
Vod Access	Path prefix for VOD assets (e.g., `/vod.m3u8`).	`vod`	—
Index Filename	Main playlist filename for both live and VOD (e.g., `index.m3u8`).	`index`	—
Segment Duration	Length of each HLS segment in seconds. Lower values reduce latency; higher values reduce HTTP overhead.	`4`	2–30 s
Segment Playlist Count	Number of segments retained in the rolling playlist window. Affects buffer size and resilience.	`8`	3–15
Maximum Pause Duration	Time to retain segments for paused sessions (DVR). Expressed in minutes; conversion to seconds applied internally.	`30 min`	≥ 5 min

Without channel storage

Session Timeout = Segment Duration (s) × Segment Playlist Count
# e.g. 4s × 8 = 32s

With channel storage The Storage Duration is the configured retention (in minutes).
- If Maximum Pause Duration ≤ Storage Duration:
```
Session Timeout = Maximum Pause Duration (min)
```
  e.g., both 20 min ⇒ 20 min of retention
- If Maximum Pause Duration > Storage Duration:
```
Session Timeout = Storage Duration (min) + (Segment Duration × Segment Playlist Count) (converted to minutes)
```
  e.g., 120 min storage + (4s × 8 = 32 s ≈ 0.5 min) ⇒ ~120.5 min

Keep segment duration and playlist count aligned to your target latency and caching goals.
