Stream Recasting

Recasting

SkyView payer supports stream playback in the browser. In addition, it can optionally provide stream recasting (also called stream forwarding) or file to network streaming when the license includes the Recast option.

Modes

SkyView runs in one of these modes based on the active license.

💻 Play (Player Mode)

Use this mode when you only need stream playback.

  • Receive streams and play them via WebRTC.
  • Stream lifecycle is tied to playback.
  • No recast targets are available.

📡 Recast (Recast Mode)

Use this mode when the playback is not required.

  • Receive or generate streams and forward them to one or more targets.
  • Playback (WebRTC) is not required.
  • Multiple targets per stream are supported (UDP, UDS, SRT, etc.).

💻 📡 Play and Recast (Recast Mode with Playback)

Use this mode when you want to view the stream and forward it at the same time.

  • WebRTC playback continues as usual.
  • One or more recast targets can be added per stream.
  • Playback and recast are configured independently.

Notes

  • Recast controls are available only when the license includes the Recast option.
  • The backend enforces license limits, the UI may hide or disable recast options when not licensed.
