Developer Integration Guide

This guide explains how developers can integrate Streamplace into their decentralized applications. Streamplace provides a complete ingest → provenance → transcoding → distribution pipeline that plugs directly into the Livepeer Network. You get:
  • livestreaming
  • metadata & rights management
  • provenance (C2PA + Ethereum signatures)
  • seamless transcoding through Livepeer
  • HLS/WebRTC playback

​
🚀 Quick Start

​
1. Install the Streamplace Node

curl -s https://get.stream.place/install | bash

​
2. Start a Livestream

streamplace stream start --source webcam

​
3. Add Metadata

Configure content rights, warnings, and distribution policies: 
{
  "contentRights": "CC-BY-4.0",
  "contentWarnings": ["flashing lights"],
  "distributionPolicy": {
    "retainSegments": true,
    "allowSyndication": true
  }
}

​
4. Use the Streamplace SDK

import { StreamplaceClient } from '@streamplace/sdk'

const sp = new StreamplaceClient()
const stream = await sp.createStream()

​
🧩 How Streamplace Integrates With Livepeer

Streamplace does not perform transcoding itself. Instead, it:
  1. Segments and signs each MP4 chunk (1s)
  2. Embeds metadata + provenance
  3. Sends segments to Livepeer broadcasters
  4. Orchestrators on the Livepeer Network handle GPU transcoding
  5. Streamplace rebuilds manifests and prepares playback outputs
This offloads all compute-heavy work to the decentralized GPU market.

​
📦 Playback Integration

Streamplace provides playback endpoints:
  • HLS manifests
  • WebRTC sessions
Players can:
  • verify C2PA manifests
  • verify Ethereum signatures
  • display rights/warnings automatically
Example UI component (React): 
<StreamplacePlayer src={manifestUrl} showProvenance={true} />

🔧 Integration Patterns

​
🤝 1. Social Networks (AT Protocol, Fediverse)

  • user livestream creation
  • automatic rights/warning surfacing
  • provenance-aware feeds

​
🎥 2. Creator Platforms

  • per-video ownership proofs
  • automated licensing and credit display

​
📰 3. Journalism & Fact-Checking

  • verifiable provenance for every segment
  • tamper detection built into playback

​
🏛️ 4. Community-Run Video Platforms

  • self-hosted node + distributed moderation
  • metadata-driven distribution rules
