Configuration of the instance relating to media

Method: GET

Authentication: no

Parameters: none

Response: JSON object containing the port and ping_timeout for RTMP, whether clustering is enabled, public and private play endpoints, and whether adaptive livestreaming and VOD recording are enabled.

		ping_timeout: 60
	},
	media: {
		vods: false,
		publicEndpoint: 'live',
