- I see the same behavior in the Console, however, when I click on the Advanced JSON option at the bottom of the View Settings link I see the schedule type is Immediate:
{
"actionName": "My Switch Immediate Test",
"scheduleActionStartSettings": {
"immediateModeScheduleActionStartSettings": {}
},
"scheduleActionSettings": {
"inputSwitchSettings": {
"inputAttachmentNameReference": "Static MP4 File",
"urlPath": []
}
}
}
I will inform the console team of the issue seen with Start Type showing as "Fixed"
-
From https://docs.aws.amazon.com/medialive/latest/ug/ips-switch-types.html
Immediate – The input switches start as soon as possible. This type of switch is more like a fixed switch than a follow switch because it interrupts the current input. The advantage of this switch over a fixed switch is that you don't have to calculate any buffer in the start time. -
Yes scheduleActionStartSettings is required in the schedule update json. However, only one of FixedModeScheduleActionStartSettings, FollowModeScheduleActionStartSettings or ImmediateModeScheduleActionStartSettings is required. Furthermore, ImmediateModeScheduleActionStartSettings is currently only supported for input switch schedule actions.

Looking at the json I see that the schedule action shows as an immediate switch up to the execution time, after which it shows as fixed with the time being set to the time the action was actually executed.
Leading up to the switch event:
{
"actionName": "My Switch Immediate Test",
"scheduleActionStartSettings": {
"immediateModeScheduleActionStartSettings": {}
},
"scheduleActionSettings": {
"inputSwitchSettings": {
"inputAttachmentNameReference": "Static MP4 File",
"urlPath": []
}
}
}
Once the action has occurred:
{
"actionName": "My Switch Immediate Test",
"scheduleActionStartSettings": {
"fixedModeScheduleActionStartSettings": {
"time": "2019-09-25T19:59:02.764Z"
}
},
"scheduleActionSettings": {
"inputSwitchSettings": {
"inputAttachmentNameReference": "Static MP4 File",
"urlPath": [],
"$ref": "#/definitions/InputSwitchScheduleActionSettings"
}
}
}
I have confirmed with engineering that this is the expected behavior wrt the immediate input switch action.
