To create an HLS output group and its outputs
-
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.

-
Captions – This section contains fields for configuring captions.

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.

. -
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,
