Module 2: AWS Elemental MediaPackage

In this module, you'll configure AWS Elemental MediaPackage to process an incoming adaptive bitrate (ABR) video and produce an Apple HLS media stream that browsers and mobile devices can consume and play for viewers.

AWS Elemental MediaPackage Overview

AWS Elemental MediaPackage is a video origination and just-in-time packaging service that allows anyone to securely and reliably deliver streaming content at scale.

In this module, you will use the AWS Console with AWS Elemental MediaPackage to create an ingest channel for receiving live video from AWS Elemental MediaLive and an origin endpoint for packaging and playback to specific device types.

Prerequisites

Previous Modules

This module relies on the configuration of IAM and MediaPackage. You must successfully complete these previous modules before attempting this one.

Implementation Instructions

Each of the following sections provide an overview and detailed, step-by-step instructions. The overview should provide enough context for you to complete the implementation if you're already familiar with the AWS Management Console or you want to explore the services yourself without following a walkthrough.

If you're using the latest version of the Chrome, Firefox, or Safari web browsers the step-by-step instructions won't be visible until you expand the section.

1. Sign-in to AWS console

Navigate your browser to https://console.aws.amazon.com/console/home

You may be redirected to a sign-in page. If so, sign-in using the assigned credentials for your account and user.

Choose the US West (Oregon) region from the top-right of the AWS Console if the currently selected region is different.

2. Navigate to the AWS MediaPackage console

After signing-in, navigate your browser to https://us-west-2.console.aws.amazon.com/mediapackage/home?region=us-west-2#/channels

The channel listing page with configured channels and metric graphs are shown in the image below.

3. Create an ingest channel

In this section, we will create one AWS Elemental MediaPackage which by default will have two input URLs, each able to receive the adaptive bitrate streams from AWS Elemental MediaLive.

  1. From the MediaPackage channel listing page, click the Create button at the top-right.

  2. Provide a channel ID and short description.

  3. Leave the input type as Apple HLS.

  4. Under CloudFront distribution details, select Create a CloudFront distribution for this channel. It is highly recommended that a CDN is enabled for global distribution of your streaming video.

    See the image below for the Channel Create page. alt

  5. Click the Create Channel button.

  6. Once the create operation completes, the next page will show the information for the newly created channel. Copy and save the input URLs, and their correponding username and password to a text editor or word processor. You will need to click the Show link next to the hidden password to display actual characters.

The next page shows the information for the newly created channel, including the associated CloudFront distribution that's being deployed. It takes roughly 20 minutes for the distribution to be fully deployed.

4. Create HLS origin endpoints for the channel

You will create two endpoints for the channel we just created. One origin endpoint with a restart window and a second endpoint with live output that is delayed by five seconds.

  1. Return to the channel listing page for AWS Elemental MediaPackage console. Your page will contain the channel you created earlier, similar to the image shown below.

    alt

  2. Click the channel you created.

  3. Click the Add/edit endpoints button on the right side of the page.

  4. Add an ID for the endpoint. For clarity, it should include the channel ID and the packaging format for the endpoint. For example, a meaningful name could be workshop_hls_1a.

  5. Check the Startover window and set the maximum time to 3600. This setting will allow a viewer to replay up to 3600 seconds (1 hour) past of streaming video using special parameters.

  6. Under Packager settings, Additional configuration, enable Ad Markers by selecting SCTE-35 enchanced from the dropdown.

    alt

  7. Leave all other settings at the default.

  8. Click the Add button at the top-left to add another endpoint.

  9. Add an ID for the endpoint. For clarity, it should include the channel ID and the packaging format for the endpoint. For example, a meaningful name could be workshop_hls_1b.

  10. Check the Time delay and set the delay time to 30. This setting will delay the live playback by 30 seconds.

  11. Under Packager settings, Additional configuration, enable Ad Markers by selecting SCTE-35 enchanced from the dropdown.

  12. Leave all other settings at the default. Click on Save button. See the following image for sample inputs for the page.

    alt

  13. Click the Save button.

Completion

Congratulations! You have successfully created an AWS Elemental MediaPackage channel for ingest and origin endpoints for playback. Move forward to the next module to configure AWS Elemental MediaLive.

Return to the main page.

Cloud Resource Clean Up

To manually remove resources created in this module, go to the AWS Elemental MediaPackage console and remove the endpoints from the channel first, and then remove the channel. AWS Elemental MediaPackage will not allow you to remove a channel with existing endpoints.

Next, go to the CloudFront console and select the distribution that was created by MediaPackage. The comment should say Managed by MediaPackage including the channel name. Click on the Disable button. This will take a few minutes. Once disabled, click on the Delete button.
