* never intended to have a separate `live` attribute -- it's a clarification to the definition of `livestream` * `firstbroadcast` is a boolean * tried to make examples a bit more relevant (though AGT is not the best example, because folks may not be aware that the auditions are pre-taped vs the live final episodes)
| **Scenario 2.2: Pre-recorded Reality Episode (VOD)** | ||
| This represents a standard "fly-on-the-wall" reality show (e.g., Keeping Up with the Kardashians style) that was filmed months ago and is being watched on-demand. | ||
| **Scenario 2.2: On-Demand Viewing (VOD)** | ||
| On-demand viewing of non-realtime content. |

It seems like it would simplify things to if on-demand viewing always assumed non-realtime content. What would be an example of on-demand viewing of realtime content?

You're right that there's never a scenario where livestream=0 and realtime=1. I'll add a note in the Issue for Public Comment to recommend documenting this in implementation guidance.

I think rather than indicating if the event is happening in real time, this definition should indicate that the content is being broadcast in real time as it happens:
"An enumeration indicating if the content is being broadcast in real time as it is happening where: 0 = not broadcast in real time (e.g., recorded), 1 = broadcast as it is happening."
I think we should also indicate that if "realtime" is true, "livestream" must also be true as real time can't be determined for VOD.
I think there is still a need for a "capturedlive" attribute as I suggested in prior feedback: as defined, "realtime" can't be applied to a time-delayed broadcast of a live event, like SNL on the west coast or Olympics happening in Europe, though they bring meaningfully different levels of viewer attention. If there was a "capturedlive" attribute it could be combined with "firstbroadcast" and "realtime" could indicate content is broadcast as it is happening (realtime=true, capturedlive=true, firstbroadcast=true) live content is time-delayed (realtime=false, capturedlive=true, firstbroadcast=true) or a replay of a live event (realtime=false, capturedlive=true, firstbroadcast=false).

I think we should include in this definition that if "firstbroadcast" is true, "livestream" must also be true as first broadcast can't be determined for VOD.
