Amazon IVS Live to VOD (DVR) iOS demo

This iOS demo application is intended as an educational tool for demonstrating how you can implement a Live to VOD (DVR) experience using Amazon IVS and the auto-record-to-s3 feature using Amazon S3.

At a high level, it allows a viewer to seek back in time during a live stream and view recorded content from that stream. Viewers are also able to jump back to the live stream and resume watching content that is live.

Setup

1. Using your own stream (optional)

In order to use your own stream with this demo you will need to deploy a backend solution on your AWS account. To do so, clone amazon-ivs-dvr-web-demo and follow the deployment instructions available in the README.

Note that this solution will:

• Create an Amazon IVS channel
• Set up auto-record-to-S3 for that channel
• Create Lambda and Lambda@Edge resources to process VOD content
• Create a CloudFront distribution to serve the VOD content

Once deployment is done the CDK will output distributionDomainName that you'll need on the following step to run the demo

2. Run demo

• Clone this repository to your local machine.
• Ensure you are using a supported version of Ruby, as the version included with macOS is deprecated. This repository is tested with the version in .ruby-version, which can be used automatically with rbenv.
• Install the SDK dependency using CocoaPods. This can be done by running the following commands from the repository folder:
  • pod install
  • For more information about these commands, see Bundler and CocoaPods.
• Open Live-to-VOD.xcworkspace.
• To use the backend created in Step 1, open Live to VOD UIKit/Constants.swift and edit Line 9 with the distributionDomainName value from Step 1.
• You can now build and run the projects in the simulator.
