RePro’s TimeShift feature transforms your streaming project into a fully functional DVR (Digital Video Recorder), allowing you to instantly replay live content. Project Admins can record live streams as they pass through RePro, making them available for immediate on-demand playback—perfect for reviewing key moments or catching up in real time.
Note: TimeShift is included in our Flex+ Monthly and Enterprise plans. Please contact our sales team to enable TimeShift DVR for your organisation.
Enabling TimeShift
To start using TimeShift, follow these steps:
1. Enable Project-Level DVR
• Go to your Project Settings in the RePro dashboard.
• Under the TimeShift / DVR section, toggle the DVR recording option on.
2. Set Recording Duration
• Define how long the record loop should be. Content older than this duration will be automatically deleted.
3. Enable DVR per Stream
• Navigate to the Programs page.
• For each stream you want to record, toggle the DVR option to enable individual stream recording.
Using TimeShift in the Viewer
Once enabled, TimeShift functionality becomes available to viewers:
• A DVR icon appears when hovering over the video player.
• Click the film strip icon in the bottom-left corner to reveal or hide the timeline.
• Viewers can scrub back in time using the timeline to replay earlier moments in the stream.
• To return to live playback, either:
• Click the “Live” button at the bottom of the player, or
• Drag the scrubber to the far right of the timeline.
This enables seamless transitions between live and recorded segments—ideal for live events, quick shot reviews, legal teams, or late joiners.
