Setting up an HLS input - MediaLive

Setting up an HLS input

This section describes how to create an HLS input. Create the input before you create the channel that ingests the input.

With an HLS input, MediaLive connects to the upstream system when the channel starts and pulls the sources.

To perform this setup, you must work with an operator at the upstream system.

Upstream server is Amazon S3
