Endpoint settings fields - AWS Elemental MediaPackage

Endpoint settings fields

The endpoint settings fields hold general information about the endpoint.

  1. For Name, enter a name that describes the origin endpoint. This is the name that you use for API and console interactions. The name is the primary identifier for the endpoint and must be unique for your account in the AWS Region and channel. Supported characters are A-Z, a-z, 0-9, _ (underscore), and - (hyphen) with a length of 1 to 256 characters. You can't use spaces in the name, and you can't change the name after you create the endpoint.

  2. (Optional) For Description, enter any descriptive text that helps you to identify the origin endpoint.

  3. For Container type, choose the type of container to attach to this origin endpoint. The container type you choose impacts the segment settings, encryption methods, and manifests you can choose.

    The container type options are:

    • TS (available for HLS and LL-HLS manifests)

    • CMAF (available for HLS, LL-HLS, and DASH manifests)

  4. For Startover window (sec.), enter the size of the window (in seconds) to create a window of the live stream that's available for on-demand viewing. Viewers can start-over or catch-up on content that falls within the window. The maximum startover window is 1,209,600 seconds (14 days). For more information about implementing start-over and catch-up TV, see Time-shifted viewing reference in AWS Elemental MediaPackage.
