AWS Elemental MediaLive – Deactivate Outputs?

0

Hi,

is it possible to deactivate or switch off Ouputs in AWS Elemental MediaLive without removing them? Or how can I run tests with different output configurations before I go live with them?

  • Please identify the type of test output you are referring to. RTP/FEC, HLS, RTMP etc.

    If you do not define an output Medialive will not allow you to save the configuration.

    A lot of times we will send to a private YouTube or Facebook channel but that only works with RTMP.

    You can make a fake output, properly defined, but not certain what the value of that would be. If you are only worried about the ingest flow then that would be an option.

    Good luck.

  • Thank you. Any output. To Facebook, to YouTube to a webpage, RTMP, HLS. On YouTube you can put the live stream on private. But not on a Facebook Page or on a webpage. Therefore I use usually another output to a private Facebook timeline and to a dublicate of the webpage player which is private. But If I can't switch from the private to the public output I can't really test a channel before I start the public live stream. Okay I could test it on another channel with the private outputs but then I don't know if my public live channel will work and if everything is okay with it.

Hi Saltarob, individual control of outputs is not currently a feature of MediaLive. It is possible to pause one or both pipelines form outputting, but it affects all of the outputs for that pipeline.

  • Hi Steve, thank you so much for your quick answer. Pause could be useful. How can I pause a pipeline?

Hi Saltarob,

Pipeline pause is achieved using the channel schedule: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/medialive/latest/ug/working-with-schedule.html
