Configure an HLS Stream for the DME
Desired Result Use the same TS stream to play via Flash player.
Solution
In-4 to Out1
Desired Result Use the same TS stream to create a HLS stream to be played on an iPhone/
iPod touch.
Solution In-4 to Out-6
Desired Result Generate an HLS stream from any source and have a second DME be able
to deliver the stream to its HLS clients (vice versa).
Solution 1. Generate an HLS stream: Either (In-3 or In-8) to In-6 to Out-6 or (In-2, In-6,
In-5, In-1, In-4, or In-7) to Out-6
2. Do so on both DMEs, make sure HLS names are different from each
other
3. Modify Caching Alternative Source on DME 1 to have IP address of
DME 2.
4. Modify Caching Alternative Source on DME 2 to have IP address of
DME 1.
5. The URL for both streams available in both DMEs:
http://IPofDME1/HLS/stream1/playlist.m3u8
http://IPofDME1/HLS/stream2/playlist.m3u8
http://IPofDME2/HLS/stream1/playlist.m3u8
http://IPofDME2/HLS/stream3/playlist.m3u8
Desired Result Generate three different streams, coming in three separate ways, from the
same source, into a DME to create a master playlist with three streams in
reverse bitrate order so that all of them can be played on an iPad. You
should use the ideal setting for the best video/audio playable on an iPad.
Solution 1. Use same source type from encoder, not three different types.
2. Select either RTP out as
IN-2; RTMP out as In-1; or TS out as In-4.
3. Use Announce Session Override in encoder to name streams
Rate1High, Rate2Mid, Rate3Low if using
In-2 or In-1 as input.
4. Use the names above in the DME if using
In-4 as input.
5. Add each stream for HLS generation (
Out-6).
6. Use the same name for master playlist name (e.g.
dmeconfig) to make
them part of an adaptive set
Adaptive URL:
http://<dme_ipaddr>/dmeconfig/playlist.m3u8
