Creating a SMIL file - AWS Elemental MediaPackage

Creating a SMIL file

When you send an VOD MP4 asset to AWS Elemental MediaPackage, you have to include a Synchronized Multimedia Integration Language (SMIL) file as well. This .smil file acts as a wrapper for all of the files that are part of the asset.

MediaPackage supports the following tags attributes in a .smil file.

Attributes

  • audioName

  • src or name

  • subtitleName

  • systemLanguage or language

Example Supported SMIL structure

The following is an example of a .smil manifest. 


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<smil>
    <body>
        <alias value="Example"/>
        <switch>
            <video name="example_360.mp4" systemLanguage="eng" audioName="English,French,Spanish"/>
            <video name="example_480.mp4" systemLanguage="eng" audioName="English 2"/>
            <textstream src="example_subs_eng.srt" systemLanguage="eng" subtitleName="English"/>
            <textstream src="example_subs_fra.srt" systemLanguage="fra" subtitleName="French"/>
            <textstream src="example_subs_spa.srt" systemLanguage="spa" subtitleName="Spanish"/>
