01
HLS handoff
We prepare app-ready live stream delivery for your player, middleware or backend workflow.
Live-channel handoff for existing OTT platforms
Live-channel integration for your existing OTT platform
RestreamNow provides the channel-side handoff; your team retains control of the app and middleware. Before launch, align stream requirements, channel identifiers, guide data, player tests and incident ownership against your platform and target region.
From channel feed to working live TV section
Integration is not only a stream URL. Your platform also needs stable channel names, category grouping, EPG handling, player testing and a support path before launch day.
02
Catalog structure
Channel IDs, names, groups and logos can be mapped so your app stays organized as the lineup grows.
03
Launch testing
Sample streams should be tested on the real devices and players your customers will use.

Handoff acceptance
Keep the integration boundary explicit
The channel supplier and OTT platform do different jobs. Agree in writing who owns feed availability, subscriber authentication, app behavior, guide corrections, incident escalation and any rights or territory checks. A stream URL alone does not define those responsibilities.
1. Map identifiersDefine stable channel IDs and how the catalog, packages and guide refer to them.
2. Test playbackCheck the supplied format on representative devices, including startup, audio, seek/live behavior and recovery from a failed request.
3. Validate guide dataConfirm time zone, program-to-channel mapping, update cadence and who corrects mismatches.
4. Rehearse operationsRecord monitoring signals, contact paths, incident severity and rollback ownership before launch.
