IVS m3u8, ingest server and stream key request.

Question

Hello,

I'm looking at using IVS for our Unity project. I wanted to see if it would be possible to automate the process from Unity to make a request to generate the instance that shows the .m3u8, the ingest server and the stream key.

Thanks

Answer

Hello and thanks for your question on re:Post.

You can create an IVS channel using AWS CLI, which will output the stream key and ingest endpoint.

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/reference/ivs/create-channel.html
```
aws ivs create-channel
```
The hurdle would be a manner to start the channel ( *using AWS CLI* ) from within Unity and return the results. I've investigated this briefly and it appears Unity offers native plugins written in C# which can be extended to include parameters for AWS CLI or AWS endpoints.

Answer

The creation of the channel has gone perfect for me, without problems. What I find difficult to see is how from Unity I can make a call to obtain the data of the created channel.
