Step 3: Ensure correct setup on the HLS upstream server - MediaLive

Step 3: Ensure correct setup on the HLS upstream server

An operator at the upstream server must set up the source content on the upstream system. Make sure that the operator sets up as follows:

  • They set up to deliver the correct number of sources:

    • If the MediaLive channel is a standard channel, the operator must set up two sources for the content. They must make sure that the two sources are identical in terms of video resolution and bitrate.

    • If the MediaLive channel is a single-pipeline channel, the operator must set up one source for the content.

  • They set up to make the M3U8 manifest files available at the agreed URLs. These are the URLs that you obtained in step 1, and that you configured into the HLS input. They correspond to the URLs shown in the diagram after this procedure.
