Streamcake orchestrates Mux live origin: initiate streams, preview and active playback URLs, graceful stop with VOD continuity, clips, trim, clip downloads, and ingest health.
Streamcake's Mux live origin integration manages the complete Mux live stream lifecycle through workflow steps. Initiation validates credentials, creates the live stream resource, persists contribution metadata, registers preview playback for control rooms, and prepares authenticated telemetry for health polling. Activation resolves the active recording asset and promotes the primary live playback URL. Stop completes the live session, removes the ephemeral live resource while preserving the recording for on-demand playback. Cancellation handles streams that never started or are mid-flight with optional asset removal where irreversible data loss applies. Clip and trim steps create new assets from time ranges on the recording. Clip download jobs enable packaged file renditions with polling until outputs are ready. Thumbnail helpers support preview imagery for dashboards.
