How to enable DVR for ABR(multi bitrate) streams?

Live DVR is the process of recording or “caching” a live video stream on the server and then enabling viewer access to the live or recorded stream content as it streams. A unique opportunity for this approach is making the video-on-demand (VOD) content available quickly following the live event without the time-consuming requirement of sending, encoding, and uploading it. The recorded content can simply be made available as VOD content.

How to enable DVR for ABR streams?

• Login to 5centsCDN console.
