Does Cloud Live support video playback?

Описание и применение

Разделение потоков живого видео и воспроизведения записей в платформе камер позволяет избежать путаницы в UI, гарантировать правильные права доступа и упрощает дальнейшее развитие функционала.

Задача

Developers need to distinguish between live streaming and playback in a camera platform, ensuring correct API routes, UI behavior, and permissions.

Результат

Clear separation of live and playback paths prevents UI confusion, enforces correct permissions, and simplifies future feature expansion.

Рабочий процесс

• 1. Design separate API routes for live and playback.
• 2. Add capability flag cameras.capabilities.playback to indicate recording availability.
• 3. Implement RBAC helper with distinct permission keys for live and playback.
• 4. On Day 1 ship live-only tile without timeline UI.
• 5. On Day 2 expose capability row showing playback:false until source available.
• 6. On Day 3 add playback route with proper error handling (no_source, empty).
• 7. On Day 4 handle empty range with empty state UI.
• 8. On Day 5 ensure teardown destroys player before switching modes.
• 9. Create mediaGateway with openLive, openPlayback, capabilities methods.
• 10. Write unit tests for all edge cases (flags, permissions, empty ranges, navigation, clock skew).

Доказательства

I refuse a single openVideo(). I have shipped that function. It always grows a mode argument and a comment that says “TODO timeline.”

If product asks for “video,” I ask which word they meant.
