## Definitions

### `place.stream.playback.getLivePlaylist`

**Type**: `query`

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.

#### Parameters

| Property | Type | Required | Description |
|----------|------|----------|-------------|
| `sid` | `string` | No | Opaque playback session identifier. Omit on the master playlist request; the server generates one and threads it through the sub-playlist + segment URLs it returns, for view-count correlation. |
| `track` | `string` | No | Track ID (stringified u32 matching the MUXL container) for a single-track media playlist. Omit for the master playlist. |
| `streamer` | `string` | Yes | The streamer to play back: a DID (did:plc/did:web/did:key) or a Bluesky handle, which is resolved to its DID. |

#### Output

**Encoding**: `*/*`

#### Errors

- **StreamNotLive**: No live segments are currently windowed for this streamer on this node.
- **TrackNotFound**: The requested track ID is not present in the live stream.
- **StreamUnavailable**: The streamer's account is unavailable (e.g. banned).
