Change address of the network source via API

[sara990099]

How can I change the address of the network source for a stream via API?

curl -X 'GET' \
  'http://127.0.0.1:8080/api/v3/process/restreamer-ui:ingest:***' \
  -H 'accept: application/json' \
  -H 'Authorization: ***'

{ "id": "restreamer-ui:ingest:", "type": "ffmpeg", "reference": "", "created_at": 1704051711, "updated_at": 1704051711, "config": { ... }

curl -X 'PUT' \
  'http://127.0.0.1:8080/api/v3/process/restreamer-ui:***/playout/input_0/stream' \
  -H 'accept: text/plain' \
  -H 'Content-Type: text/plain' \
  -d 'http://***.m3u8' \
  -H 'Authorization: ***'

{"code":404,"message":"Unknown process or input","details":["no playout for input ID 'input_0' and process 'restreamer-ui:***'"]}

In order to change the network source for a stream via API, you have to modify the config object, that is returned by the GET /api/v3/process/restreamer-ui:ingest:*** command.

Change the network source in config.input[0].address to http://***.m3u8. Then make a PUT to /api/v3/process/restreamer-ui:ingest:*** with the contents of the config object, e.g.

curl http://127.0.0.1:8080/api/v3/process/restreamer-ui:ingest:*** \
   -H 'accept: application/json' \
   -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
   -H 'Authorization: ***' \
   -X PUT \
   -d '{
         "id": "restreamer-ui:ingest:***",
         "input": [
            {
               "address": "http://***.m3u8",
               ...
            }
         ],
         ...
      }'

You might need to adjust the input's options as well if you change protocol. After successfully updating the process, it will restart in case it was already running.
