Step 2: Complete the fields on the console

After you have designed the output names and destination paths, you can set up the HLS output group.

The following fields configure the location and names of the HLS media and manifest files (the destination).

  • Output group – HLS group destination section

  • Output group – HLS settings – CDN section

  • Output group – Location – Directory structure

  • Output group – Location – Segments per subdirectory

  • HLS outputs – Output settings – Name modifier

  • HLS outputs – Output settings – Segment modifier

To set the destination

  1. Complete the URL fields in the HLS group destinations section. Specify two destinations if the channel is set up as a standard channel, or one destination if it is set up as a single-pipeline channel.

    Portion of the destination path Location of the Field Description
    protocol URL in HLS group destinations section Enter https://
    domain URL in HLS group destinations section Enter the MediaPackage channel URL
    path URL in HLS group destinations section Not applicable, the path is already specified in the channel URL
    baseFilename URL in HLS group destinations section Not applicable, the path is already specified in the channel URL

    With MediaPackage, the baseFilename is always channel. With MediaPackage v2 it is always index.

    Don't terminate the baseFilename with a slash.
    modifier Name modifier in each HLS outputs section Required. For guidance, see Designing the nameModifier.

    Make sure the modifiers are unique across all outputs in the output group
    segmentModifier Segment modifier in each HLS outputs section Optional. For guidance, see Designing the segmentModifier.

    Keep in mind that this field exists for each output.

  2. Enter the input user name. For the password (if applicable), enter the name of the password stored on the AWS Systems Manager Parameter Store. Don't enter the password itself. For more information, see Requirements for AWS Systems Manager—creating password parameters in parameter store .

  3. In the CDN settings section, choose the appropriate connection type:

    • To send to standard MediaPackage, choose Hls webdav.

    • To send to MediaPackage v2, choose Basic PUT.

  4. If the downstream system gave you values to configure the connection, enter those values in the fields in the CDN settings section.
