Castlify can distribute live streams and pre-recorded videos to your destinations.

Live stream links (24/7 channels and live events)

Castlify supports these live input links:

  • HLS (.m3u8)

  • MPEG-DASH (.mpd)

Notes

  • The link must be reachable and valid.

  • Some URLs expire or require tokens/headers. If your link changes often, generate a fresh one.

Pre-recorded video links (file inputs)

Castlify supports using pre-recorded video files, such as:

  • MP4

  • MOV

  • AVI

  • WebM

  • (and other common video containers)

When you add a pre-recorded video as input, Castlify outputs it as a live stream to your destinations. By default, pre-recorded videos run as a 24/7 live loop (infinite loop). This is ideal for “always-on” channels or simple playout.
