This should be streamlined.Config options are:
  • off-chain vs on-chain (includes funding)
  • video vs ai only vs dual mode (just use tabs)
  • full config options reference & meaning eg. Config reference for pricing, algorithms etc.
  • Examples - Box (or move to guides)

Introduction

Gateways in Livepeer serve as the entry point for Video transcoding and AI processing workflows. While the core function of ingesting and distributing media is similar, the processing pipelines and components differ. A single gateway can handle both types of workloads simultaneously.

Configuration Methods

You have three ways to configure your Livepeer gateway after installation:
  • Command-line flags (most common)
  • Environment variables (prefixed with LP_)
  • Configuration file (plain text key value format)

Configuration Options

This section breaks down the Livepeer Gateway configuration space into the following options:
  • Video & Transcoding Options - used by Video Network Gateways
  • AI Gateway Flags & Options - used when running a Gateway in the Livepeer AI network context
  • Dual Configuration - used when running a Gateway that supports both video transcoding and AI inference services
  • Pricing Configuration - used to configure pricing for service offerings
