Stream Overview

The dashboard.nanostream.cloud/stream page provides a comprehensive list of all your streams, displaying their state (created, live, ended), stream ID, stream name, whether they are part of a streamgroup, and their last update timestamp (UTC). Additionally, the pesence of tags allows for easier stream identification.
If a stream is an ABR stream, it belongs to a so-called streamgroup. You can collapse the row and view the individual streams within this specific streamgroup, such as passthrough, n transcodes.

Stream List Overview

The table below provides an overview of the key attributes in the stream list:

• Stream State: This column indicates the current state of each stream.
  • created: The stream has been created, but never been live
  • live: The stream is live right now
  • deleted: The stream was live and is not outputting footage anymore.
  • locked: The stream was live and has been locked.
• Stream ID: The column displays the unique identifier of each stream. If the stream is an ABR stream it is also the streamgroup id.
• Stream name: The streamname („XXXXX-YYYYY“) shows the organisation hash and the unique stream name assigned to each stream.
• Streamgroup: Indicates whether the stream is an Adaptive Bitrate (ABR) stream. It shows the number of playouts for ABR streams, e.g. Streamgroup (n Playouts), and for non-ABR streams, it displays Single Stream.
• Last Updated: Timestamp of the most recent update or modification to the stream.
• Tags: Assigned tags or labels for categorizing and identifying streams.

At the bottom of this page, you can find the pagination, where you can decide how many streams (25, 50, 100, 150) you want to per page.

Filter & Search

At the top of the dashboard.nanostream.cloud/stream page, you’ll find filters to help you quickly locate specific streams. The available filtering options include:

Screenshot: Streamlist Filter

• State: Filter streams by their state. This includes both standard states (live, created, ended, locked) and additional state(s) (deleted) that are not visible in the regular stream list. Selecting all will only include live, created, ended and locked.
• Tags: The tag filter allows you to look for streams based on specific tags. You can either manually type in the desired tag or choose from the existing tags that you have previously used. As you start typing at least 3 characters, the system will suggest tags that match the entered characters. To apply a tag, simply hit the "Enter" key after typing it.
• Date: Filter streams by date range: Today, Yesterday, This Week, This Month, Past Month, Last 3 Months.
• Streamgroups: Choose whether ABR stream groups should be displayed as a single entry or as individual streams. When this filter is enabled, all streams within a group appear separately. If disabled, they remain grouped, but each stream still shows its streamgroup id.

Search Streams

If you want to search for a specific stream based on its Stream ID or streamname, you can use the search field in the top app bar that is available on every page. Please note the following:

• A valid nanoStream Stream ID or streamname is required. There are no suggestions made.
• A valid nanoStream streamname must follow this format: 'XXXXX-YYYYY'.
• The search is case-sensitive. For example, "AA" is not the same as "aa".

Single Stream Overview

The Stream Overview section provides a structured, tab-based interface that consolidates all essential details about an individual stream. It offers insights into the stream's configuration, playback status, and processing options.

Screenshot: Example Stream Overview (Streamgroup)

This page serves as a central hub where you can:

• Access key metadata, including streaming URLs and (if enabled) security tokens.
• Monitor the stream's state, creation date, and whether it belongs to a single stream or an ABR stream group.
• Perform quick actions such as starting the nanoStream Webcaster, watching the stream, retrieving instructions, or —if permitted— stopping, locking, or deleting the stream.

Each Stream Overview consists of three main elements, which ensures clarity, easy access to key actions, and a streamlined workflow for managing streams efficiently.

• Adaptive Bitrate (ABR) Stream → Streamgroup Details (Streamgroup (n Playouts))

Learn more about Adaptive Bitrate

Adaptive Bitrate (ABR) ensures seamless playback quality, even under unstable network conditions. It switches between multiple stream qualities depending on the viewer’s bandwidth.

👉 Dive into the Adaptive Bitrate and Transcoding section to understand how it works and when to use it.

Secure Playback Token

If your organization has enabled the secure streaming feature, this section displays your decoded logged-in session token information:

• JWT Token
• Valid From / Until
• Optional Settings
• Token Tag

When sharing the live playout URL, this token is applied, ensuring transparency regarding its usage.

Enable secure playback

nanoStream provides a secure feature to enable secure playback. This feature lets you customize token with settings like expiration date, not-before date, client IP, domain, user ID, or a tag for enhanced security.
You can verify whether this feature is available for your organization by navigating to dashboard.nanostream.cloud/organisation in your dashboard. To enable this feature for your organization, contact us via nanocosmos.de/contact.

VOD Playout URLs

If your organization has enabled the vod feature, VOD recordings will be listed here. They are sorted by session and include:

• Session Date (UTC)
• Recording Name
• File Size

Live Processing

If your organization has enabled live processing features, their assets will be listed here.
To display them, select the desired feature from the submenu under the tabs. As shown in the screenshot, the currently selected process is highlighted in light orange. Clicking on a process reveals its associated details below.

Prerequisites

To make use of live processing, the feature must be explicitly enabled for your organization. Activation may be subject to additional pricing or service terms.

You can verify whether this feature is available by navigating to dashboard.nanostream.cloud/organisation in your dashboard.
In the Enabled Packages section, locate the entry for live processing. If it shows Upgrade needed, please contact us.

To activate this feature or learn more about available plans, feel free to reach out via nanocosmos.de/contact. We're happy to assist you in finding the best setup for your use case.

Assets for each process are displayed in a tab-based structure, depending on whether they belong to an ABR stream ( Streamgroup (n Playouts)) or a single stream (Single Stream). Users can switch between different quality levels for ABR streams, while single streams have only one quality level available.

Thumbnails and/or Motion Clips

In the title row, you can press the Refresh button to update the thumbnail. Similarly, you can modify settings, depending on access level. The refresh button is useful because the stream overview does not update dynamically. Since thumbnails or motion clips change based on the interval/duration settings, this button allows users to reload the latest updates.

Thumbnail- and motion clip-related information include:

• Process status (active/inactive)
• Streamname
• Asset quality
• URL to the asset on our servers
• Interval (in seconds)

For motion clips, the Duration of the generated assets is also displayed.
