Integration as a Streamer on Wurl's network involves verification, design and testing of HLS Stream Playback, AdSpring SSAI Integration, and EPG Metadata ingest. A Workbook is provided below to facilitate and capture all design requirements.

Prior to beginning your integration, Wurl's Specifications for HLS Streams, AdSpring SSAI and EPG Formats should be thoroughly reviewed:

• Streaming & SSAI Specifications
• Wurl EPG Formats
• If you prefer to download Wurl's specifications as a single document, this can be found at the following Google Drive link: Wurl Integration Specifications

The overall process for integration is as follows:

1. The Streamer reviews all Wurl Specifications
2. The Streamer performs integration tests and completes the Integration Workbook 
3. Wurl reviews the Workbook, and may follow up with the Streamer to clarify results
4. Streamers pass Wurl's technical validation to ensure that AdSpring Metadata Delivery & Ad Server Integration are working as required
5. Wurl creates a dedicated integration for the Streamer and notifies our Content Companies
6. While initial channels are prepared, the Streamer is introduced to Wurl's Operations teams and processes 

Integration timelines are mainly dependent on the level of testing resource and technical readiness of Wurl Streamers. By thoroughly reviewing Wurl's Specifications and completing the Integration Workbook, Streamers may pass technical validation in as little as 1 month.
