place.stream.playback.getLiveSegment
Fetch a single live HLS segment, or a track's init segment, from the in-memory live window. `seg` is `init` for the EXT-X-MAP init segment, otherwise the segment's media-sequence number; a cosmetic `.m4s` suffix is accepted (and ignored) so ffmpeg-based HLS players will fetch it. HTTP Range is honored. Segments are the verbatim signed canonical .m4s, so provenance travels with playback.

query string`init` for the track's init segment, or the segment's media-sequence number. A trailing `.m4s` is accepted and ignored.
sid
stringOpaque playback session identifier, propagated from the media playlist that referenced this segment. Logged for view-count correlation; not used for access control.
The streamer: a DID or a Bluesky handle (resolved to its DID).
Track ID (stringified u32 matching the MUXL container).

StreamNotLive
No live window for this streamer on this node.
SegmentNotFound
The requested segment has slid out of the window, or never existed.

Get an HLS CMAF playlist for a live stream. Returns a master playlist when `track` is omitted, or a single-track media playlist when `track` is supplied. The playlist references each segment + per-track init segment via getLiveSegment. Segments come from an in-memory sliding window fed as the stream is ingested (or replicated to this node), so a playlist is only available while the stream is live here.
-
Get an HLS CMAF playlist for a video. Returns a master playlist when `track` is omitted, or a single-track media playlist when `track` is supplied. The playlist references each segment + per-track init segment via getVideoBlob, addressed by content hash. The `uri` is an AT-URI pointing at a playable record — today only place.stream.video records are supported, but the surface is collection-agnostic so other record types can join later.
-
Clip a livestream between two instants as a flat (faststart) MP4. The clip is cut on MUXL segment boundaries: it holds every segment whose start falls within [start, end], so it may begin up to one segment late and run up to one segment past end. Segments come from the node's livestream recordings and from the recent stream it holds in memory; each segment's C2PA signature passes through verbatim. Only published (live) segments are clipped. Requires a signed-in caller: an OAuth session, or a ser
-
Fetch a content-addressed MUXL playback blob by CID. Serves either a primary fMP4 archive or a per-track init segment — both are CID-addressed and indistinguishable from the endpoint's point of view. HTTP `Range` headers are honored; HLS media playlists generated by getVideoPlaylist reference this endpoint with `EXT-X-BYTERANGE` to serve segments out of the primary blob. The `did` identifies the owning account for egress accounting: the blob itself is content-addressed and owner-agnostic, so the

Mint the caller's own playback session for their live stream. Every playback URL carries a signed session as `sid`; the anonymous one a playlist hands out opens published streams only, while the owner session this returns also opens the caller's unpublished (pre-live) stream to their own player. Requires an authenticated session; the result is bound to the caller's DID. Pass it as `sid` on getLivePlaylist.
