Create an HLS output group
You create the output group and its outputs when you create or edit a MediaLive channel.
The procedure
-
On the Create channel page, under Output groups, choose Add.
-
In the Add output group section, choose HLS, and then choose Confirm. More sections appear:
-
HLS group destination – This section contains fields for the destination of the outputs. For more information see the section for the type of downstream system:
-
HLS settings – This section contains fields for the destination of the outputs, for resiliency, and for captions.
-
HLS outputs – This section shows the single output that is added by default.
-
Location – This section contains fields for customizing the paths inside the manifests.
-
Manifest and segments – This section contains fields for configuring redundant manifests, for configuring the manifest contents, and for configuring media segments.
-
DRM – This section contains fields for configuring encryption of outputs.
-
Ad marker – This section contains fields for setting up for SCTE-35 ad avails.
-
Captions – This section contains fields for configuring captions.
-
ID3 – This section contains fields for setting up for ID3.
-
-
If your plan includes more than one output in this output group, then in HLS outputs, choose Add output to add the appropriate number of outputs.
-
In HLS outputs, choose the first Settings link to view the sections for the first output:
-
Output settings – This section contains fields for the destination of the outputs. See these sections:
This section also contains fields for the HLS container.
-
Stream settings – This section contains fields for the output streams (the video, audio, and captions).
-
-
(Optional) Enter names for the output group and the outputs:
-
In HLS settings, for Name, enter a name for the output group. This name is internal to MediaLive; it doesn't appear in the output. For example,
Sports Curling. -
In the HLS outputs section for each output, for Name, enter a name for the output. This name is internal to MediaLive; it doesn't appear in the output. For example,
high resolution.
-
-
To complete the other fields, see the topics listed after this procedure.
-
After you have finished setting up this output group and its outputs, you can create another output group (of any type), if your plan requires it. Otherwise, go to Save the channel.
