Channel Ad Markers

1min

The Ad Markers tab is only shown for relevant Channels. If an Adaptive or Transcoded Channel has a stream that contains Ad Markers, then information about these markers is shown in the Ad Markers tab. HLS ad markers are written as plaintext into the outgoing XML manifests of the transmuxed HLS.
