Enquiry regarding the custom HLS input

[liurundo]

Hi many thanks for your help previously regarding the UDP.

I have created an HLS URL from Kinesis Video Stream. However, I kept getting HTTP transfer failed /Unable to open input file error from the console when the channel starts

The streaming is from US and I am based in London, could that be the problem of HLS it self?

I have granted MediaLive channel the access to KVS, still does not work.

Hope you can help me shad some light.

Hey @liurundo

Just for testing purposes set your Kinesis Video Stream HLS that you get can watch without permissions. Then are you able to view the HLS stream on your laptop in something like Video HLS, or Safari? I have seen that error code Unable to open input file on AWS MediaLive many times, it is always when MediaLive does not have permission. Or if the input stream is not playing.

I used this blog for Kinesis Video Streams.
