Streamplace transforms livestreams into verifiable, rights-aware, decentralized video pipelines that plug directly into the Livepeer Network. Below is the full end-to-end workflow.

🧩 End-to-End Flow Diagram


πŸ” Step-by-Step Breakdown

1. Ingest

Streamplace supports multiple ingestion methods:
  • WHIP / WHEP
  • RTMP
  • Browser-native WebRTC
These inputs feed directly into the Streamplace Node.

2. Segmentation

Streamplace splits incoming video into 1-second MP4 segments, enabling:
  • per-segment authentication
  • fine-grained metadata control
  • efficient transcoding dispatch
  • modular VOD assembly

3. Provenance Layer

Every segment receives:
  • a C2PA content authenticity manifest, and
  • an Ethereum signature linked to creator identity.
This ensures integrity, provability, and non-repudiation for every part of the video.

4. Transcoding via Livepeer

Streamplace dispatches segments to the Livepeer decentralized GPU network:
  • orchestrators transcode segments
  • multi-bitrate (ABR) outputs are generated
  • provenance is preserved end-to-end

5. Manifest Reconstruction

Streamplace rebuilds:
  • HLS manifests
  • WebRTC streams
  • metadata-rich playback structures
Segments, signatures, metadata, and playback context are merged into a single coherent output.

6. Playback & Verification

Users receive:
  • HLS or WebRTC outputs
  • provenance-aware video streams
  • automatic rights, warnings, and attribution
Players can independently verify:
  • C2PA manifests
  • Ethereum signatures
  • rights & distribution policies
