Workflow Forwarder

The Workflow Forwarder step allows sending media streams to other workflows. This allows for non-linear flows for a media stream.

For example, you can have a media stream forwarded to two different workflows for transcoding at different bitrates/resolutions without double transcoding.

Configuration

The workflow forwarder step is utilized with the workflow_forwarder step type name. The supported arguments are:

• target_workflow=<name>
  • Specifies the target workflow all media streams should be forwarded to
• reactor=<name>
  • Specifies the name of the reactor to check where to forward any given media stream to
  • Each media stream will be forwarded to different workflows depending on the results of the reactor. If the reactor returns no workflows then that media stream won't be routed anywhere.
