How to play video from MediaLive through UDP?

0

On AWS, how do you play video from MediaLive through the UDP output group?

For my use case, I'm building a live stream pipeline that takes an MPEG-2 transport stream from MediaLive, processes it through a UDP server (configured as an output group), and consumed by a web client that plays on HTML5 video.

The problem is: the data is flowing, but the video isn't rendering.

Previously, my output group was set to AWS MediaPackage, but because I need the ability to read and update frames over live stream, I'm trying to feed through UDP.

Is setting the output group to UDP the right approach?

The documentation is a bit sparse here. I'm wondering if there are resources or examples where others were able to play video this way as oppose to HLS/DASH.

You definitely can use UDP output group on MediaLive. Here is configuration details: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/medialive/latest/ug/creating-udp-output-group.html. If your reception server is located in cloud I suggest to use VPC output https://docs.aws.amazon.com/medialive/latest/ug/delivery-out-vpc.html. If you need to consume your stream outside of AWS cloud I would recommend to use SRT output group. It will give you much better resiliency.
