Configuring On-Demand Apple HTTP Live Streaming (HLS)
To use CloudFront to stream media files in Apple HTTP Live Streaming (HLS) format, perform the following tasks:
-
Transcode your media files into HLS format. You can use any transcoding application that supports HLS format, for example, Amazon Elastic Transcoder.
-
Create a CloudFront web distribution. No special settings are required.
-
Upload your files to the origin that you specified when you created your distribution.
-
For links in your application (for example, a media player), specify the master playlist in the same format that you use for other objects that you're distributing using CloudFront. For more information, see Format of URLs for Objects.
